I would not recommend this hotel. The clerks, working at the front desk were quite nice, but the hotel itself was generally dirty and felt unsafe.

Coming in from out of town; the pictures really sell the place. It was sketchy from go. My husbands phone said “permanently closed”. Drove in to see obvious tenants going from 1 from to the next. Out back where we were to stay was decent and some what hidden. But once we got into the room it was a disaster. Dirty, dingy, odors and worn out and stained furniture. NO place for a small family. After deciding we weren't comfortable staying we left the building to find 2 police cars and an ambulance; parked where we saw the residents. All pointing to get the hell outta here. The gentleman who checked me in was very friendly and understanding. He explained what I needed to do to get refunded and once I was actually able to make contact by chat with Expedia; not an easy feat it turns out, the refund was processed quickly. No complaints with personnel at all!

It was very stripped down. No carpeting, metal box frame under the bed. The dresser drawer had been ripped part and poorly put back together. The exterior door to the hotel did not latch. The door to the room had a good 3/4 inch gap between the door and the frame. The door had a large sign that stated"Bolt the door for your own protection."

Almost across the road from SUNY Albany Health Sci campus. Otherwise in the middle of nowhere. Closest place to Rensselaer Amtrak, but 35 min walk is too long for most. Decent condition overall. Efficient desk. Plenty of parking. Quiet.

Easy to find. No kindess from the receptionnist. Not clean in public corridor. Accommodation was basic. The AC was noisy. We have to ask for two missing towels. Well located, close to Albany's downtone and commercial area. Correct for one night

The place look decent but the hall way looked dirty and had a strange smell. Some of the electrical outlets did not work. Curtains barely covered the light. Hair dryer did not work.

There were sheer curtains on the window with only narrow side panels which did not close. I was uncomfortable regarding privacy, so I used a clip to hold the side panels together and partially block the view. Also, because the drapes did not close we were awake at first light. Bedding and bathroom were clean.

Avoid this one.
As the other recent reviews have noted this is effectively a long-term housing unit and should really be removed from hotels.com in my opinion. Like the review above me noted the smell was overwhelming. I just used it as a place to sleep for a few hours but even that was too long. My clothes still reek 2 days later from being there for 8 hours.

We ended up leaving for a different location about 30 min after arriving. The entire building had a horrible smell (think musty grandparent smell). Mini fridge was so loud it shook the furniture around it. Bed felt like an old metal cot with an even older mattress. The whole front section of the property is for long term residents. The building we were in was in the back corner. The fence that ran along the property line had sections kicked out making it easy for someone to approach from the back.
