Came for a business trip. So this got chosen for us. Very 70s. :-) Fairly close to day trip to porongorups or the stirling ranges. I would recommend going to the lookout on the hill. Great views. Close to shops and supermarkets, and there is an on site restaurant, which I didn't try, but other reviews speak well of it.... More

I stayed in one of the older rooms, it does need to have a bit of a revamp, but you certainly can't fault the cleanliness. Staff were very helpful, location is excellent, right in the centre of town. It would have been nice if the outside porch light were a little dimmer, and I found the mattress to extremely hard.

Our Executive room was very spacious. Although there were the tell-tale signs that the motel is older than it looks, our room had been refurbished to a very high standard, bringing it up to 21st century standards. The Lime 303 Restaurant at the motel is absolutely outstanding for dinner but it is very popular, so if you want to eat... More

I travel to Albany for work every 3 months so have stayed in a few different places. So far the Dog Rock Motel is the best I've found. It's pretty basic, but staff were nice and it is right in the centre of town. The shower was very pitiful with no power at all, but the bed was comfortable and... More

Our first night in Albany was spent at the Best Western Motel & Apartments in an executive room. The following night we booked in at the Dog Rock in a deluxe room and it proved to be a much better option - although both reasonably expensive. The rooms are nice and refurbed, everything worked, good comfy bed but air con... More

We had a newly refurbished Deluxe room, which was spacious, very clean, modern and well equipped. The location is nice and central. The exterior is rather uninspiring, but the comfortable room was all that mattered to us. They still use old fashioned blankets. . a bit surprising. Minor complaints include thin walls, but fortunately the neighbours were well behaved. The... More

Great hotel, set back on the hill behind Dog Rock, with rows of rooms as far as they eye can see. Both the exterior design of the motel and, indeed, the decor of our room was distinctly 70s - you know, all expoed bricks and floral bathroom tiles! - but in a kinda 'retro cool' way. It looks like the... More

Urban environment close to the city centre. We got the deluxe room, and it was newly refurbished, and clean. We book last minute around new years time, so we could not find a more rural location, which would have preferred.

Comfortable, quiet and clean place to stay. Fully refurbished rooms with nice pictures on the wall & having all usual facilities. Our room had a good view to city as well. Thanks to friendly staff. I will stay there again.
