We stayed here because we had an early morning flight from Albany airport the next day. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

The hotel is layed out like an apartment complex and our suite was on the second floor in building one. The suite consisted of a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, living room (with fireplace and pull out couch), a downstairs bedroom with queen bed and en suite bathroom, and an upstairs bedroom loft with ensuite bathroom. All of the furniture and equipment was clean, modern and tasteful.

We all had a good night's sleep and would definitely stay here again. The hotel also offers complimentary breakfast, but our flight was very early, so we didn't get to try it. They also offer a sort of happy hour with eats Monday through Thursday evenings.

My daughter graduated from college in the Albany/Schenectady area and we needed a place where our out of town guests could stay and assemble for the various graduation functions. We took a 2 bedroom and 3 1BR suites. Our 2BR suite was perfect for the informal get togethers, like arrival day and a pre-dinner party. We have stayed here many times before, when visiting my daughter and the extra room and privacy was well appreciated. There is a very large common area for breakfast, in which a typical motel breakfast was served. On one trip back to our room, my wife commented, I
"I really feel at home here, in a little village with our closest relatives and free coffee."
Only one disappointment, which could have been a disaster, but turned out fine. Two days before check-in (remember, 4 rooms), I received a call telling me there would be no 2 BR units available (although I had booked 6 months in advance and even followed up one week in advance), because a group decided to not check out. We were able to re-arrange everyone and the hotel did find one 2BR, which we had to have.

This is the first time we stayed at this Residence Inn because it was only 10 minutes from Siena College and we had to move our daughter back in on Labor Day of all days! We arrived on Sunday, Sept. 4 at 4pm after a 7 hour drive from Ohio. We booked a 1 bedroom suite and they said they were going to upgrade us to a penthouse unit, but because it was the holiday weekend, alot of the guests were requesting later check outs. The front desk was very apologetic and she kept checking with the cleaning staff to let her know ASAP when our unit would be ready. We were in 1126. Our room was ready at 4:30 and they had some nice compfy chairs outside by an outdoor fire pit where we sat until our unit was ready. The room was clean. Our bed (queen) was upstairs in the loft area. Our daughter stayed downstairs on the pullout murphy bed (queen) and said it was going to be more comfortable than her dorm bunkbed! We did not hear the airplanes in our room until 6:30am on Monday morning. Their free breakfast was very nice and they have alot more seating room than at Fairfield Inns. There were two rooms actually. My husband is a Marriott rewards member so they usually try to upgrade us if they can. The front desk and staff in the breafast area were very friendly. My only complaint on the penthouse units is that the sink/vanity area (upstairs) are outside of the bathroom from tub/shower which makes the latter a very small area. You have to come in, shut the door and turn around. But the downstairs bathroom is not like that at all. It is all in one room. They did leave earplugs that you could use while you slept. I'm sure you could request more if everyone in your party needed a pair. We didn't use them, but we had to get up early anyway. We will be staying here the next 2 years before "move in day" since our daughter is only a sophmore!!

We have stayed here several times. I have special dietary needs and the kitchen is so much easier than trying to find a restaurant to eat in. While my husband is at work, I can hang out at the hotel and work from my computer while enjoying my own meals. It also is close to several malls, good restaurants and movie theaters. There is a pool, volleyball court and exercise room. It is pretty quiet in the western side of the complex. The eastern (higher numbered) rooms are next to the airport and a bit noisier. The rooms are very nice and spacious. Some have fireplaces.

We have had a couple of problems with the sink and maintenance was there in a jiffy to resolve the issue. The maids are very nice and clean well. The front staff are friendly and helpful.

Great place!
