Top South Head Hotel Reviews

Albany Oak Motel

Albany Oak Motel

8/10 Good
"Room and washroom were very clean and very appealing. Did not see anybody from the staff though, as the desk was already closed at arrival (closed by 5pm) and not yet opened at departure (open at 9am only). However, the key was left in a key vault and staff on the phone helped to find and access it. Altogether, it's a really nice motel. Parking is free. Only downside, there is no elevator and if you got a room on the second floor you must carry your luggage up the stairs yourself which can be a challenge for an elderly person."
