Quiet, Clean, Comfortable, Convenient

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 Sept 2017
This was my 10th stay at this EconoLodge in Colonie, NY. There are 5 other motels in the immediate vicinity, but this EconoLodge is my favorite. The sheets and towels are always immaculate and soft. The beds are very comfortable. The carpet looks brand new and was clean. The continental breakfast is adequate and appreciated. The public transit bus stop is located in front of the motel parking lot. I travel public transportation all the way so that convenience is much appreciated. Cumberland Convenience Food & Gas Mart is located next door to the motel. That provides a very convenient place to shop and much needed improvements to the public sidewalk between the motel and the transit bus stop. I will definitely stay at this EconoLodge again and will recommend it to anyone wanting a great place to sleep when visiting the Capitol Region.

this place is DIRT CHEAP sooo that needs to be factored in. my room was clean and everything worked. Yes the place is a bit sketch...i wouldnt leave anything of value out in the open, id lock your doors etc etc. good bit of people wandering around,i agree with others even the employees seemed sketchy, saw the cops roll through a few times but i didnt have any issues. breakfast was better then expected and served promptly. very close to the airport, highway, restuarants, shopping...i can see a stay here MAYBE going south but the price is really cheap

the hotel was nothing like advertised.As I walked towards the hotel there was a room on the first floor that was missing a doorknob and was closed by using wires or string.Walking up the stairs there were old mattresses in the hallway. the rooms pictured were not close to the one I had..My room had a pungent odor which I thought was possibly an air freshener then I smelled urine.The chair in my room was an old green vinyl chair and this was the source of the urine smell.On the wall I noticed white spots that looked similar to Spackle (?)..I became nauseous and had a horrible pit in my stomach.I did something that I have NEVER done and went to the front desk and told staff I could not stay that I did not feel safe.He informed me that they never had any problems. I had brought a few things to my room and needed to go back and get.When I returned my key he asked if i was going home..I told him I was going to another hotel....I was unable to get my money back since it was non-refundable... I wish I took more pics but I could not leave this place fast enough...

Nice hotel but drug testing of employees should be mandatory. Felt like we were on an episode of Intervention, when speaking to receptionist! In case of an emergency, this could be a big problem. Room seemed clean and nice coffee and donuts in the morning.

The room was clean, quiet, the breakfast was no frills (toast, bagels, cereal etc.)They need to have some old bed mattresses in the breeze ways removed. One of the two nights I stayed there was a guy crashed out on the mattress. There is a convenience store and a good restaurant next door. The work out room could be aired out. I would give it a higher rating but for the mattresses.
