My wife, 2 kids and I recently stayed at this hotel.....All was good until my wife left her earings on the nightstand.....We called later that day (after room was cleaned) and the hotel staff claim that they could not find them.....They were not helpful or friendly.....DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND DON'T STAY THERE!!!!!!!!!!!

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

I love this place. When it's minus 5 and blowing a hooley, you'll love this place too. Comfortable, spotlessly rooms. Free high speed internet. Really good quality home cooking - (order the homemade fishcakes for breakfast). Best of all the staff are friendly, as you'd expect in Newfoundland and nothing is too much trouble. It's not the Four Seasons, but... More

We recently stayed at the Albatross Motel on 2 occasions. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The wi-fi was excellent. We did not use the dining facility but we did purchase a light breakfast for our room and was very pleased. Both rooms were smoke free and smelled fresh and a big plus was... More

The room was small and not modern, but it was really clean and the staff were exceptionally friendly. We dined twice at the hotel's restaurant where I would give the staff 5 stars. We enjoyed our meals there - our food there was 4.5 stars.

The place is very dingy and dark. Our room was supposed to be smoke free but it smelled so strong of smoke we went to Shopper's and bought a candle to burn so we could stand to be in the room. The woman at the front desk was friendly and nice. Someone in the restaurant was kind enough to let... More

We stayed overnight here on our way to Corner Brook. The motel turned out to be one of the nicest surprises we had encountered on our trip to Newfoundland. The room was spacious, very clean, and offered all that was needed. There is a restaurant right in the hotel and we ate breakfast there the morning we checked out. Fantastic.........the... More

Stayed in room 119. surprised to find a double bed only, and room was certainly NOT recently renovated. Pillows were 1"thick and in the am my husband has a knot in his back that lasted all day. Outside our "recently renovated" room, the sprinkler had paint on it, and the hole where it had been cut in the ceiling was... More

On our arrival at your hotel we were told that a dart tournament was being held there and we should expect a lot of noise and would have a poor nights sleep. This was very upsetting as I feel we should have been told that before we booked our stay. The idea that you put a deposit of twice the... More
