  • Location.
  • Walls are paper thin and you can hear everything.

“NY Giants training camp was going on and the place was crazy. We were unable to fall asleep until after 2am because the room next door was blaring the TV. It's right off the throughway which is nice. The breakfast was ok but nothing spectacular.”

  • The hot breakfast was a very nice surprise.
  • Everything else.

“The hotel could not accommodate our request to have 2 beds. We got a cot instead which barely fit into the tiny room we had. The hotel was in the middle of no where. We had to go all the way to the bar to get a bottle opened, they couldn't provide one to our room. The stat of the area behind the front desk was disgustingly dirty. The room was pretty old, empty. This hotel could use some upgrading. The one shining light was the hot breakfast, which I loved.”

  • Easy to find, clean, quiet.
  • Smells smoky, needs updating.

“Stayed there for one night. They were completely booked and we had a poor quality room. Otherwise a bit too much for the quality.”

  • Location was great. Staff was accommodating.
  • The first room had the lock broken off the door. The second room had mold and an odor.

“The staff were very nice and accommodating. The rooms need to be renovated.”

  • Rooms needed rehab pretty bad, a bit noisy.

“I personally would not use again as the star is really like a 1.5 star. If you are picky and want a nice place to stay, do not stay here. The place is in a state of disrepair from faucets dripping, wallpaper peeling and no money put into facility. How can they do that to animals that they should protect?”

  • Attractive within its class.
  • Saturday night drunks in room below us, we got no restful sleep.

“A nicely maintained property & good value within its class; conveniently located. BUT hotel staff not altogether friendly or helpful when we complained about excessive noise at 3:00 AM. It's their job to investigate and confront--not the task of their paying guests who are just trying to get some sleep!”

  • Good pool.
  • My room was in very poor shape to receive guests.

“This hotel could be a good, reasonable 2-star hotel. But my experience was poor because the room was poor. No sheets on the bed. Trash in the bedside table. A clock that did not work. A bathroom timed light that would not go off. A TV that got stuck in the menu. The restaurant is dark and den-like, but the meal was good and the service very good.”

  • The breakfast was good.
  • They charge $25 a day for a cot.

“The location to sunny Albany is great. They only had a room with one queen bed. We needed two beds or a cot, which were not available.”

  • The restaurant and breakfast was ok.
  • They lost my bags and than the manager gave me guff, the maids and van drivers were cool.

“The location, in comparison, other than being close to the college. Management is grossly incompetent. Their front door was not working; it looks like a lousy motel from the 50's inside and out. Probably the worst run innkeeper I have stayed at.”

  • Room was clean, breakfast was great.
