loved everything about this place. the location is right off the 87 / 90 interchange, so close to everything. it sits about 1000' from the crossgates mall property-which has plenty of entertainment, shopping, and food. the hotel has a TRU by Hilton on one side of it, and the other wing is the Homewood Suites. the HS side is well-appointed, with a nice cozy lounge that is next to the breakfast seating area. small business center.
room was well-appointed, with a small kitchen, full fridge, microwave, sink, plates, spoons, etc. nice size bed, plenty of power outlets. the smell inside the room and bathroom was incredible. hard to describe, but was a nice fresh aroma. everything was clean. even the shower pressure was on point - nice and hard, on a certain setting of the shower head. complimentary body wash, shampoo, conditioner pump bottles on the wall. hand soap and lotion pump bottles next to the sink. super nice.
breakfast was decent. the usual offerings: cheese omelet, round sliced ham, biscuits/gravy, cereals, breads, oatmeal, coffee and creamers, fruits, and waffle station.
staff was courteous and helpful
overall, this was a great place to stay overnight or for an extended stay. would definitely come here again.
