My husband and I stayed here after a wedding at the ajoining catering hall Mallozis. The check in was easy and quick. The room was clean, not overly large. I think that the price given was a bit high at $151.00. And that was the "wedding guest rate". There isn't too much in the area so I guess this would be it if you were on town for a wedding next door. I would try to get a better price on-line if possible.

Stayed here after attending a wedding reception across the parking lot at Mallozzis (which was excellent by the way). Average Hotel - rooms were OK - nothing special. A bit dated but comfortable. Front desk person below average. No personality and gave the impression of that they could care less if we were there or not. Unfortunately for The Belvedere, that's a customer's first and last impression. Won't rush to go back.

I had to be at Union College for a family weekend for my daughter's summer camp (Thursday to Saturday actually). I went on all discount sights to find a cheap rate, but none were available for what this hotel was offering. It was significantly less than even Priceline bidding. Ask for AAA rate or Union College rate. You cannot make a reservation online, but I emailed my request and they emailed me back within 24 hours. Not knowing the area of Schenectady at all, I was not sure of where the hotel was in relation to Union College, but when I called for reservation the staff knew exactly how far and the directions. I was pleasantly surprised when I drove up. The hotel is really non-descript. I checked in early and there was no problem with a room being ready. Only one staff at the desk, lobby was small with the breakfast "nook" in the lobby, but it was spotless. Computer in the lobby as well. The staff was so nice, they even let me in the back office to print something I needed. Room was decorated "country chic" style (not in the latest white linen), but was very clean and the bathroom was renovated. It was a larger room than I expected. The air conditioner was great (I actually had to turn it down as I was so cold.) No HD television, but a standard t.v. was just fine. Room was quiet and beds were fine. There are safes in the room. Mine didn't work when I got in, but the desk guy came up and fixed it asap. Only problem is that there is no internet in the room. When I asked if there was, the staff told me that there was a connection, but I would need my own wire. Who travels with a wire these days!!! Free breakfast was standard continental, but there was hot water, coffee and juice available at all times in the lobby. I requested a wake up call and did NOT get it. Staff the next morning was helpful and pleasant. Desk staff has printed directions to all local sights. No pool at this hotel, but apparently the restaurant associated with the hotel, across the parking lot is supposed to be great. I got the impression that there were many "regulars" here. Price Chopper across the street and dunkin Donuts around the cornerl. Just a few miles to Walmart and Hannefords.

We were there for three nights for business the first week of Agust, 2011.
One of us is handicapped with a cane so we requested a good room on the first floor.
They gave us the first floor "handicapped room", able to handle a wheelchair and large in size.
BUT the Air conditioning unit DID NOT WORK.
The non-handicapped member is always "cold" so when he complained about the heat of room being to much for him, it meant it was really warm in there. The handicapped member is always warm and also has trouble breathing in heat and humidity, and so "roasted" all night. Neither slept much due to the warmth of the room we could not decrease.
The next morning the front desk manager said they had called the tech to fix it, but since it had been "fixed" just two days prior, the whole unit would need to be replaced and that would take a few days.
They DID move us the second day to another non-handicapped room with a working A/C {ok for the handicapped member to navigate}, and we inquired if we would receive a discount or comp credit for the first very uncomfortable hot sleepless night the first night.
We were told by the manager that they felt they "resolved the issue" by moving us to another available room the second day, but would contact the owners.
WE were told at check out that since they "resolved the issue by moving us to another room the second day" that we would receive NO credit for our uncomfortable stay the first night.
Like a cold dinner one sends back to the kitchen, and second hot dinner still does not always take away the bad experience of the cold dinner served first, and often gets "comped" {removed form the check} or discounted.
