While visiting some Albany-area friends recently I decided to stay out near the countryside to take in the landscape during my lone times. The BSI&S is conveniently located 20 minutes from downtown Albany via the I-90 highway yet you'd never know that you were anywhere but in beautiful farm country. Check in was seamless, all staff members I encountered were... More

Beautifully renovated!! I was nervous about booking this place because of the reviews I read. Those negative reviews are old and out dated. I was very pleased with our room. It was clean and brand new with a microwave and refrigerator. This family owned business works hard to please. I will certaintly return.

Orginally booked because this is one of the few places around the area that allowed pets. Was nicely surprized to find that after a fire the place had been rebuilt and the section we stayed in was brand new. Flat screen tvs in all the rooms, fridges and microwaves also. Very clean and lovely property. Was a good deal for... More

Currently undergoing renovations. Clean and larger than average rooms. Stayed here on business. Enjoyed the homely feel, however, the room we stayed in haven't undergone renovations. Renovations to be complete soon on most rooms.

My husband and I stayed there last year for 9 nights, loved the grounds and pool. However, the suite we stayed in was in need of a lot of work and for the housekeeping it was non-existing, I was disappointed in that. I did love the fact that across the road was a great road stand with fresh fruits and... More

Camping without any gear or sleeping in your car would be preferable to staying at the Blue Spruce Inn. The place is a total dump and the $85 price for a room is highway robbery. Against my better judgment, I stayed at the BS to attend a family funeral in Valatie. There were several of us staying at the BS... More

Upon check in the person at the front desk looked bothered that we were there, he also looked as if he hadn't bathed in about a month. We were told $75 a night on the phone but they tried charging $85 when we got there. Once checked in we walked over to our room and could smell the scent of... More

This place is terrible - an old 60s or 70s highway side motel that has had very little fixed or replaced in decades. We stayed there against our better judgment, since family recommended it and was also staying there, and we wish we had never set foot in this place. We saw a total of 3 different rooms, one 1-bed...

It took us 25 minutes to check i as there was no one at the front desk. The person who finally came looked like he had been sleeping in a back room and was aggravated at being disturbed. There were squashed bugs everywhere in the bathroom and it was obvious it was never swept because the same dead mosquito stayed... More
