No problems!

Staff were polite, helpful, and the room was comfortable. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a clean place while on the road. I would go back there again if the opportunity presented itself again.

Dream come true Concert, Buffy Sainte-Marie

It was easy to find. The location was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spotless, had; ironing board, iron, hair drier, coffee maker, plenty of towels. I was able to check in as soon as I got there at 12:30 p.m. instead of 3:00. It was perfect for my needs. The only down side was the bed was too soft, I should have asked for a firm mattress. I will surely use them again as I will be returning to the area again this year.

ok for the price

I was just looking for a place to sleep and it accomplished that. Rooms were basic and clean, although pillows were yellowed. Fitness room consisted of a universal gym from several decades ago.

Econo Lodge Colonie Center Mall Albany

I was in Albany, do I need to say more. The Hotel was very clean and I was greeted with a smile. I loved that I could control the heat in the room and that the water pressure in the shower was outstanding and hot. I had a coffeepot that worked and the Breakfast was fresh. All in all a great stay at a great price of $50. [...]

get what you paid for

We were just passing through and stayed one night. We got a smoking room, but it smelled like someone just finished smoking in there. The only real complaint I'd have would be about the bathroom. It was too small (only the shower and toilet were able to fit in the "room" part. The sink was outside.) and the water was SUPER WEAK! I had to shower twice as long to get all the soap and shampoo off. Aside from that, the place was quiet and comfortable and was worth the price.
