This hotel is right across from SUNY Albany's menacing campus. It is budget-friendly, our room was nice. There's a pool and a fitness room which is great. The temperature in the room was excellent and we were able to control it well throughout the weekend. Love the small touch that you can turn on the shower before stepping in. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of parking. Right next to a Dunkin and a 7/11, which is convenient.

No extra amenities here. No extra pillows, blankets, etc. That's fine, but some of the amenities we were supposed to have were also missing. The bottles of toiletries were almost all empty. Worse, the room clearly hadn't been cleaned—not deep-cleaned even, I mean it hadn't been vacuumed. We found a pile of nail clippings between the beds and a Q-tip in the middle of the floor. Staff was fine, the little shop beside the desk was extremely bare.

One final note, the hotel wasn't crowded, and we were given a room on the 2nd floor looking right out at the parking lot. Given there were a good number of vacant rooms we would have loved something a little quieter/more private, as people could definitely see through our windows.

Quick visit to U at Albany, this Courtyard was one of the hotels closest to site. Personnel was curteous and professional, hotel was clean with signs of wear - Marriott website says recently updated but that was probably a long while ago ...
Room was clean incl. bathroom and could also do with an update given the stars and price compared to nearby hotels. Had windows facing the highway but well insulated so no exterior noise. Didn't use the pool or other facilities. Complimentary WiFi is fast. Breakfast a la carte and tasty (eggs, bacon, toast, pickled tomatoes yumm), made fast and served in the little area near the lobby.
