What is the saying? “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” From the exterior, this place is a little run down. Obviously the hotel has been around for many years. Entrances to rooms are outside, which is also old-school. Along with this, the lobby is dated in appearance. Now for the good news. They have 24 hour staff and they are very friendly. The interiors of the rooms appear to have been updated. The mattress and bed pillows in my room were good quality. The room was clean. The showerhead delivered a nice spray and there was plenty of hot water. There is a complimentary breakfast which is basic but not fancy. Surprisingly good, coffee, juice, cereal, bagels and make your own waffles. Not much in the way of protein or fruit. But hey, the price is reasonable. Location is good. In Colonie, between Albany and Schenectady and close to a major shopping mall and plenty of restaurants and retail spots. Also a quick drive to the airport. Good for a night’s stay when you have had last minute changes to your travel plans.

Would stay again

Budget is tight and there was an online discount for the room. The hotel had a better review than others in the same price range. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I didn’t realize that you entered the rooms from outdoors, but we didn’t have any security issues. The room was no-frills which was expected, but we were happy with it. It is also a good location for a visit to Albany.

Solid economy lodging

This is a good economy choice. The outside of the property could be modernized a bit, but my room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast options were a pleasant surprise, but limited.

Worst roadtrip motel by far - Avoid

Over the last three weeks, we have stayed in different motels each night throughout New York State and Canada. This was the worst by far The lady on check in was pleasant. That was where the positives ended. The drive in porch looks structurally unsafe. Our room (203) had an instant smell of urine upon entering which was exacerbated when using the air con. Air con unit itself was so noisy it sounded like a helicopter in the room. The room was dated, no comforter, just rough woolen blanket & sheet. Walls needed a good lick of paint and the TV guide provided was useless. The bathroom was awful with a crack in the sink, brown shower curtain, half a bottle of used conditioner and brown marks on the toilet roll. The bathroom door was unsafe and hanging off the hinges so it wouldn't close which mean no privacy for our family. The toilet seat was unsafe only held on by one hinge. The room housing the ice machine was a health hazard. The floor was disgusting and it felt like a dumping ground with empty trash lying around. Breakfast in the morning was dreadful. Waffle batter was too thin, tar like coffee and at 8am everything seemed to be running out. There was an older gentleman repeatedly wiping down all the surfaces with the dirtiest cloth I have ever seen. Overall, I think this motel needs some serious maintenence, a good clean and a visit from environmental health.
