Best Western Albany Motel & Apartments

We were unsure where to stay in Albany but ended up deciding that we wanted to be close to the centre of the town. We also wanted a room that had at least some view. From the outside, the BW Albany Motel looks like a genuine motel with outside corridors and a 70's façade. But the rooms have been refurbished to an extremely high standard producing a nice, modern, clean and comfortable environment. Our room had a king bed, writing desk, comfy chair and small dining table with two extra chairs (so 4 chairs in the room). The bathroom was also modern, very clean, nice hot water and good pressure. While the building is not perched high on a hill, the upstairs south facing rooms still have a good view of the harbour providing somewhere to sit and feel you're a part of this lovely place. Given the open corridors, room doors basically face a road, so road noise is evident. But Albany is a quiet town so this didn't bother us. The main street of Albany is only a short 5 minute walk from the Motel, passing a couple of reasonable Cafe's along the way. Dinner or lunch is therefore only a 5 to 10 minute, easy walk. So with a tick for location and view, the Best Western has done a great job of also creating a room that is a lot more than what you would expect from a Motel. less

Just a one night stay, check in fast and efficient, room clean and comfortable, was really cold but aircon set to heat kept the room really warm, location is great we walked to restaurant for dinner, walked to breakfast and surrounds, would recommend to anyone. less

We had a suite of two rooms for three nights. The rooms had been nicely renovated and were clean. It would have been better if we had an apartment as the second bedroom was off the main bedroom and the bathroom could only be accessed through that bedroom. The second bedroom was cold as it did not have a heater and it had no TV. The main room had sufficient heating for that room. Overall a pleasant and convenient place to stay. less

Stayed here for our holiday, loved the fact that we could walk to town instead of driving. Cafe just down the road was great place for breakfast and other restaurants nearby. Rooms were comfortable, clean and good amenities. The WiFi was slow but as it was the same weekend as the vintage car races, it could be that we had competition using it. We were upgraded to a room with a view and were not disappointed. less

Location is very central and walking distance to great restaurants. No need to use cabs if you plan on having a few drinks. Staff was friendly and helpful. Internet was slow but this was due to Telstra having problems. I will be back in June and looking forward to it! less
