“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2008

person found this review helpful

My wife & I stayed here for 1 night on 26 July & 2 Aug. We were travelling through NY State & needed a stopover hotel on our way to & from our destination. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy either stay. We would have stayed at another hotel on our return drive, but unfortunately, there was nothing available. The hotel has 2 floors, but no elevator. The rooms look vey much like college dorm rooms: rather small with built-in desks & cabinets. There are no desk lamps, only overhead fluorescent lights.

Good Points:

The breakfast had a very good selection: cereal (2), coffee, tea, milk, choc milk, juice (2) mini-muffins, cornbread, bagels, English muffins, yogurt, & fresh fruit. Although I am strictly a coffee & cereal person, I did enjoy many of the selections offered. The breakfast room is quite small, but you can use your room tray to take items back to your room.

We both enjoyed the massaging showerhead in the bathroom (most hotels only have a basic one).

Bad Points:

The old, worn out beds were absolutely terrible. On our 2nd stay, the beds were better than the first room, but they all need to be replaced.

We both found $87 rather high for a hotel in a remote area. The main reasons we chose this hotel was that it was conveniently located near the I-90 & from the reviews on this website. Although the hotel is located near the highway, there is nothing else nearby. It is many miles to a McD’s or BK, & at least a 20 min. drive to 2 malls. Also, I do not like to have to pay for the room up front.

Lack of cleanliness: The carpets need to be vacuumed more thoroughly & shampooed, as they were both filthy. Also, both the towels & bedspreads were stained.

The TV is located 6ft above the floor, atop the closet. The only was to watch it is reclined on the bed.

Lack of friendliness or courtesy of front desk staff. We both found the person working the front desk on both visits to be rather curt. The morning staff, on the other hand, was quite friendly.

Overall, we were both very disappointed with our stay. Next time, we’ll try the Days Inn.

“Great Staff - Small Rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2007

We actually didn't end up staying here but did stop to find out if they had a room available. The Staff was very helpful. We were looking for a room with two double beds as we were traveling with two teenagers. Unfortunately, they only have rooms with either one bed or with two twin beds. The staff was very helpful in referring us to another hotel in the area.

“Cheap, clean but kind of noisy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2004

Stayed here while taking the Bar exam in Albany. It was clean and cheap, but it was pretty noisy. We actually went to another hotel (Best Western- Sovereign) the next night thinking it'd be quieter but it was worse!! So for a motel its not bad- if you are a heavy sleeper and won't be woken up by the noise.
