Metro Inn Albany

Well, this takes the cake, On arriving, there is a clear sign on the bench, if uou use the coffee cups and utensils and do not wash and dry after yourself, there is a ten dollar fine, charged to your card. But what really topped it of, was the breakfast (buffet) which we paid for. I do not believe the reviews, which said exceptional. We walk in, and after paying for buffet for that, we are told bacon and eggs are an extra fifteen dollars each! So we settled on stale bread for toast, yogurt and tinned fruit. However the highlight was buying something from Mount Barker Bakery. Would I stay there again, it is a big NEVER!

Best motel, staff are fabulous, breakfast is amazing so much to choose from a continental breakfast. Has a indoor pool and spa, tennis court, lovely surrounds, cannot understand that this is only 3 star should be 4. Would highly recommend this as a stay

Other reviews made me feel doubtful about staying here, but it turned out that my stay was much better than I expected. The motel may be old and dated, BUT it's absolutely comfortable and clean. Great value for money, so glad to score the very last room and escaped the xmas heat from Perth. Loved the shower with plenty of hot water and strong pressure, I slept very well on the bed, staff were great, the location was great...albeit it's right by the side of busy albany hwy, but thankfully it's gone quiet by 10pm and you're usually out and about daytime. The pool seemed popular with families and it looked clean and well maintained. There's no kitchen, but the facilities provided were more than enough for heating up food (microwave, cutleries, dishwashing liquid and sponge and towels). They also provided room service if you wish to have it. What I didn't like?? - My room was upstairs LOL I didn't know of this. Good thing I didn't bring much stuff. So bear in mind of this when you make the booking - The whole place was generally quiet, but 2 mornings in a row, I heard this VERY LOUD bang...as if someone just slammed something shut angrily, more likely a door. 1st morning it happened twice, 2nd morning it happened once. Not sure if it's the cleaner or one of the neighbouring guests. Very annoying and inconsiderate! Good thing it didn't happen at night time. - The cleaner almost walked in on me while I was still dressing. She knocked and I answered, but she must have not heard me and just open the door...resulting me to shout 'NO NO WAIT!!!!' Phew that's close! I did try to look for the 'Do No Disturb' sign later to hang on the front door, but couldn't find it. Not saying this is ok, but given all the positives, they outweigh this last near-accident. So overall, I won't hesitate to stay here again.
