Acceptable if you are just passing through for a night

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Sept 2024via mobile
Staff were friendly and efficient. The breakfast selection was also decent.

However, the entire place is in need of a refresh and renovation. It felt a little bit dingy and the elevator to the other floors seemed to be a freight elevator instead of a guest elevator- ruining the experience.

The rooms are decently sized with ample space for belongings. However, the bathroom was very small- there was barely any space to balance the towels and clothes. The bathroom lighting was also very dim, contributing to the dingy feeling. The wallpaper was yellowed and had stains. The room had a queer moldy smell and we realized it might have been coming from the A/c unit.

Good location near many shops, supermarkets and restaurants. An acceptable place for a one night stop over or when your flight is delayed.

Dear Shelly_ST,

Thank you for selecting our Holiday Inn Express & Suites Albany Airport - Wolf Road and for providing feedback about your experience. It's a pleasure having you as our guest.

I am truly sorry you did not experience an exemplary stay due to our hotel needing a renovation and our room's comfort. This is certainly below our usual high standard of service. Please be certain that I have noted and forwarded your feedback for the management to improve. In the middle of your experience, I am glad our staff's service and the hotel's breakfast were still appreciated.

Please grant us the opportunity to prove ourselves again.

Best Regards,

Ben W.

The staff was courteous and helpful. The room was clean and quiet. The complementary continental breakfast was very good with a variety of choices. The coffee was just right. The room was reasonably priced. Just what we were looking for for a one night stay passing through Albany

The good: responsive staff and breakfast buffet are better than average. The evening staff person welcomed us warmly after a long and stressful drive. They also advised us (when we called to make reservations) that they could accommodate our long trailer. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean.
The bad (for us): there is mandatory Fox News on the television (I quietly asked if it could be changed and they said that corporate sets a policy and they are not allowed to change the channel.) I find this "news program" deeply offensive and it's odd that the Holiday Inn Express corporation has aligned itself so strongly with a news program.
Contrast this with our next travel experience (at a competitor's hotel). They had on Good Morning America, and the volume was at a reasonable level. It was such a pleasant way to eat breakfast and I complimented the manager on the entire breakfast experience, including being able to sit down and enjoy breakfast without being bombarded by something that my family and I (and 50% of the traveling public) are offended by.

Room tip: Only stay if you like Fox News blared at you over breakfast.

We family of 4 stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. The hotel room is clean and bed is comfortable. They have microwave and mini fridge in everyroom which is very convienent. Also their breakfast is very good ranging from hot to cold, everything you could think of breakfast. The best thing is that you could request anything you forgot like toothpaste, brushes, etc. I requested shower head and got it which saved me time to buy outside. I will definately book this hotel again if I come to this area in the future.

Room tip: Nice breakfast, clean room and comfortable bed, microwave and frige. You could request extra if you forget boothpaste, boothbrush etc.

Great location on corner of Central Avenue and Wolf Rd. Across from the mall with lots of food choices. The beds were comfortable with choice of pillows. Clean room with mini fridge, coffee maker and microwave. Decent breakfast included. I would stay here again.
