As far as decor and comfort of furnishings, it was fine. Very clean.
Cons:
We were a little chilly in the room so turned the heat up...that is, tried to. It wouldn't go above 72 degrees. Mentioned it to the desk clerk when we checked out and were told that it is set that way. And something about that in a few days they would switch to air conditioning and then only air would available. That it was one or the other!??? I have never heard of such a thing in a major chain hotel!
We were on the second floor and the noise from the highway was quite evident. The hotel is bounded on both sides by highways. We could also hear hallway noise, etc.
There is no free breakfast, which is fine but it would have been nice to have at least coffee and/or tea available in lobby.
We won't be staying here again.

Dear Sbordocj,

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience while staying with us.

Providing the highest level of hospitality is our number one priority and I sincerely apologize for failing to meet your expectations. Courtyard as a brand unfortunately does not offer complimentary breakfast or coffee other than the coffee station that are in the rooms

I hope you choose to stay with us again when your travels bring you back to the area.

Sincerely,

We booked the hotel same day to take a much needed break from a road trip . From the moment we checked in to when we left the staff members were kind and accommodating. Aisha made us one more coffee to go even though breakfast had just closed. Paula even found our family in the pool to offer our kids some adorable pool toys. The person at the front desk was friendly and helpful. I don’t usually write reviews but the staff’s genuine kindness compelled me to do so! Thank you!

Needed a place to stay by the thruway, and this was a great choice. Clean, quiet and new -- check in was a snap, bathroom was spotless and well laid out. We had a great night. Great area, we look forward to coming back to Albany and would stay again. Thanks so much!

Room tip: we stayed right by the lobby, and it was perfectly quiet (to my surprise)

Overall, the staff, hotel and room are great. 
Suggestions: 
No bath matt towel, I didn't notice the hair dryer in the closet until checking out. 
Luggage cart wheel flat so very difficult to push and steer. 
There's a constant high pitch humming sound I think is coming from fridge. 
Shower water pressure could be better. 
Peep holes in the door need the swivel cover. 
Alarm clock difficult to read display. 
Religious books in the night stand drawer are definitely unnecessary. 
Smoke detector has a flashing light that is distracting as I am trying to fall asleep. 
Toilet seat does not stay in the up position. 
Even after finding a nickel to adjust fridge temp lower, it still froze my food, unless the bottom is supposed to be the freezer portion, but it's not labeled that way, so have to experiment trial and error what area gets frozen or not. 
The gym was closed even though other hotels have them open.
I would stay here again, but for the price point these things should not be an issue.

My husband and I moved to this hotel from a neighboring one that shall remain unknown. This hotel was a very welcome change from the other one we stayed in. This hotel was clean and well maintained, with very professional staff clearly trained in customer service. The room was elegantly furnished, roomy, and very comfortable. The traveler amenities were very nice--indoor pool, small workout room, Bistro (though pretty pricey for breakfast) and a little shop for quick snacks and items you might have forgotten. Very convenient to major highways and UAlbany. Worth the price.
