Very nice experience.

I feel very comfortable here. The staff is very professional. Kira was grace under fire when the place was packed and the lobby was busy. She handled all the questions coming from all directions. I would have froze in this situation but Kira was a pro!
Date of stay: September 2024
Room Tip: Even when there were a lot of people staying here my room was quiet.

Tru properties are unique and perfect for a short stay. My wife and I were in the area for two nights and out room was perfect. King size bed, small refrigerator, vinyl floors (NO RUGS, YAY!!) and everything was clean and fully functional. The breakfast area had great selection (healthy ones too!) and the lobby area is comfortable and attractive. There is an easy walk or one minute drive behind the hotel to a mall area with multiple restaurants. If Tru is too small and you need more room the property is unique as it is half Tru/half Homewood Suites.

Room tip: Rooms have minimal extra space

the date was wrong by weeks on a booking, a mistake which I do not know what happened. it didnt "confirm" the date either until i paid. I immediately contacted them about the mistake. they refused to refund or change the booking. complete scumbags. it was for weeks later, so it wasn't like they lost a booking because i had it. its just greed.

Near the mall with restaurants and JC Penney, there’s plenty of free parking. Area seemed safe.

Room was clean, WiFi was strong, bath towels in were good condition, and the free breakfast bar was well-stocked. Diamond members get a poker chip good for $4 in the mini mart.

Fine for a simple overnight stop!

Friendly staff, awesome gym, and really unique two breakfast option with the other connected Hilton hotel. Very close to Crossgates mall, and a great outdoor space have a lot to offer. Room was clean, but the bed was awfully uncomfortable and being on the first floor near the lobby was loud and distracting. The shower sprayed water all over the bathroom even with the curtain closed. Not sure if this was because of being an accessible room, or if they all are like that. Will find somewhere else to stay in the future.

Room tip: Avoid first floor rooms

Honestly this was probably one of the worst stays ever. Dirty dirty room. I always bring wipes but I literally had to get a cloth and wash the floor. No nightstand, just a round table that hadn't been moved - maybe ever. Super gross behind it. The air conditioner was so clanky and loud that every time it kicked on, it woke us up. Shower was caked with mold. If we weren't here for a wedding, we would have checked out and gone somewhere else. Also, these rooms are tiny - like my dorm room in college was bigger. Only reason I am giving them 3 stars is the fact that the front desk staff was kind and helpful. We did not use the pool but my in-laws said it was ice cold. Even breakfast was ridiculous. Toast machine could not be adjusted and every piece of toast was burned.

Room tip: Don't stay at this Tru, get a room at the adjoining hotel.
