Can anyone tell me what the Jacuzzi room is like? Not the bridal suite, but the regular $130 room. It seems like such a great price for a jacuzzi that i'm wondering if it is too good to be true lol. Thanks in advance!

I was very disappointed with this hotel, the beds were sunken in the center and the toilet wasn't bolted to the floor so every time you used it ,it moved. Then every flush of the toilet you had to remove the back lid to stop the water from running constantly. For the cost of $136 a night it was far... More

We had no great expectations for this hotel but we were pleasantly surprised. The room was spotless, comfortable and roomy enough even if on the smallish size. The dining room was quite pretty. Our room was at the back of the hotel so there were no highway noises. The only negative is the plumbing noise from neighbouring rooms was obvious.... More

This is quite a basic motel that is situated on the side of the Trans Canada Highway on the outskirts of Gander. There is an on site restaurant and also a couple of fast food outlets in the vicinity. This is just a place to overnight and there is not a lot of choice in Gander.

I recently spent one night at the Albatross Motel and took advantage of their "Stay and Play" promotion. It is a great value if you are a golf enthusiast and the exceptionally friendly staff make it a pleasant experience. Yes, it is an old property that has seen better days, but the location is ideal and the rooms are clean... More

We recently stayed at this hotel. The price is relatively cheap compared to other hotels. The room itself was clean. The hallways smelled a little. The wireless internet was extremely fast. The location of the hotel is perfect; right on the TCH, next to a restaurant, fast food locations, and gas stations – all in walking distance too! The ladies... More

When the guest checked with our front desk to see if we had found his wife’s earrings, we had no record of an item being turned in. Regrettably, because of a miscommunication between the front desk and the head housekeeper, the housekeeper checked the wrong room. Naturally the earrings were not found. When this mistake was discovered by our Assistant... More

I recently stayed at the Albatross on a business trip to Gander. The bedrooms were clean and the staff (like everyone in Gander) were extremely friendly. The motel itself is worn down and the common areas (elevator, corridors) are downright filthy and the management should be ashamed. Thank goodness the bedrooms were clean, however, they are lacking some working amenities,... More
