“Look elsewhere”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

This motel is terribly dated. The new TVs wall mounted are the only signs of modern life, otherwise its a time warp to the 70's. It also smells really stale. The bedlinen is outdated, old fixtures. I wonder if it is in between new owners as they dont have a chef for the onsite restaraunt, however they do offer breakfast roomservice, but I wonder who is cooking that?
The only plus is the room was a good size for a family, otherwise I'd look elsewhere, however at $145/night it was good value. Well located to the beautiful Murray river and walking distance to the Albury pool and Dean st shops. It could be so much better with a modern update which most travellers expect these days. I loved the 70's, but its time to move foward people!!

“Perfect for a stop over Sydney to Melbourne”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

No booking drive in, reception unattended, picked up the phone, someone appeared within a minute and was checked in a couple of minutes later. Room was bigger than expected with kitchenette and small dining table. Friendly staff at reception and the bar. Firm bed and good TV. Quiet location and enjoyed a walk by the river just over the road in the morning.

Room Tip: Haggle the bar bill

“motel was ok”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2011

This motel was nice for the overnight stay. I arrived just a the reception was locking up, yet he reopened and checkedme in. The price was ok, though maybe a touch expensive. Most of the facilities were closed by the time i checked in. I couldn't find the compendium, but the map on the door indicated a laundry in the corner, but when i went there it was staff only. I found out the next day that there was one upstairs for guests. The room was good with a new large flat TV, but no DVD.
The shower was quite nice in the morning, plenty of presure and hot water.
the bed was a bit too soft and springy.

“Would not stay there again”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The Paddlesteamer looks impressive from the outside but we were sadly dissapointed when we saw our room. We had a spa room that was old and dated. It was winter so we needed to have the heating on - but it was really loud and smelt strongly of mould. The spa is in the main room, which is great as we planned to watch the football whilst sitting in the spa. Unfortunatley, the old TV had terrible reception and we couldn't get a clear picture and it was hard to hear over the noise of the heater.
Definately not worth the price we paid - have stayed in much better motels in Albury with the same star rating.

“Sadly very poor this visit”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Any positives were cancelled out by this visit. the bedside tables had not been cleaned and had sticky dirty marks, perhaps left by the previous incumbent, also what looked like short curly hair too sitting on the surface. This time the place felt like it just had not been cleaned properly.

The TV reception only allowed viewing of about two free to air channels sufficiently to follow the programme. The airconditioner seemed to take an age to work.

Rather than stay further nights here, chose to move to another hotel in the vicinity.
