The rooms were very filthy. The lady at the front desk was very friendly. When we went for Breakfast a lot of it was out already and it was still early. Would not recommend untilthey can get this filthy mess cleaned up.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and I apologize if you did not feel that our housekeeping met your own standards of cleanliness, though our own standards are very high and include checking up to ensure that rooms are as clean as can be. We want you to experience the best value for your money, to feel comfortable, and to have your expectations exceeded; I hope that this will be the case during your next stay with us.

We always stay here when traveling to or through Albany. Rooms have been updated and look very nice. I would recommend staying here as it is close to colleges, shopping, and hospital. Clean and price is great!

This motel is older but nice. Our room was large, comfy bed, clean, with fridge and coffee maker. The A/C was not the best but O/K. The fitness room was a bonus. Plenty of ice. Excellent breakfast with bananas, waffles, sausage, hard boiled eggs, toast, muffins, cereal, juice. Overall, a very good value.

Do not book a room at this place. The reviews that I read on the hotel's website were all good. I am sorry that I did not look at the reviews on Tripadvisor. The room had a bad musty smell. We did not want to sit on anything while in the room. There was a candy wrapper and a lot of dust behind the nightstand. The bathtub and floor looked dirty. We did not unpack anything we made a reservation someplace about a mile from there and checked out as soon as we could.

I have read some negative comments but overall given the price and the location it was a great deal. My room seemed updated it was clean. The pool was lovely. The mini fridge and microwave came in handy too. I was traveling to albany for cny fertility because they are a great clinic and needed a hotel at a decent price and that had a mini fridge to store my meds. Parking was confident too so after my initial egg retrieval surgery I only had to walk several feet to the door the staff were understanding and made sure to put me on the first floor too. I really recommend them.

wolfeyes2663,
Thank you for bringing to our attention your experience and comments regarding your stay. Our housekeeping staff is held to a very high standard and we appreciate that you've informed us of a need to address housekeeping policies and procedures. This is certainly not the kind of experience we would like for our valued guests to have. Your feedback will be forwarded to the hotel management to ensure that situation like this will not happen again in the future.
