Stayed for one night following a wedding at Mallozzi's across the parking lot. The location makes this hotel an excellent choice for someone attending a wedding. This is a small hotel-two floors, maybe 30 rooms (some wedding attendees could not get rooms because there weren't enough). This hotel seems to be geared primarily for wedding guests, I suspect. The rooms are nice, have nice bathrooms-granite, hair dryers, etc. My only recommendation on the rooms would be to improve the lighting-they are somewhat dark even with all lights on. Free breakfast bar was nice, juice, coffee and pastries-brought in daily. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Several previous posters commented on the lack amenities and lack of other entertainment in the immediate area which I have to agree with. The location of this hotel is basically in a commercial zone, primarily shopping. I wouldn't say it was a "bad" neighborhood. There is no bar or restaurant at the hotel and there does not appear to be any entertainment, clubs, restaurants, etc. nearby-with exception of Dunkin' Donuts. After the wedding that I attended, people wanted to go out for a drink, but it appeared the only option was to drive to downtown Schenectady which is a bit out of the way from the Belevedere-long story short, nobody ventured out and it was an early night.

The cost of the room was reasonable-discounted because we were attending a wedding there. the room charge was $88 + tax for one night (three people). All in all, it worked out pretty well. No, it's not the Ritz and yes, it would have been nicer if they had an in-house lounge or club nearby for after-hours entertainment; but I think because of the small size of the hotel, it's probably not cost effective to have in-house facilities. So for weddings, or if your visiting someone nearby, I would recommend this hotel. If you're looking for stuff to do nearby and not familiar with getting around town-this might not be your best choice. Kids would be bored here.

++They did have a VCR player in my room-go figure!

I stayed 2x over the past 2 years, most recently as a menber if a bridal party. The staff was wonderful and accomodating for us in the bridal suite as we got ready fro the wedding. They brough us a cot, water, food and more! I had booked a room for myseld and another room for my parents and they were nice enough to accomodate my requests for close rooms. Breakfast was great and check out was a breeze. Only downfall was that after the wedding we still wanted to have fun and there was nothing to do! Wish they had a bar, pool or gathering area!

This hotel was disgusting. Although I cannot prove it, my two year old son got ringworm after sleeping on the pillow. There is no other explanation we can come up with. The chair had a huge stain and the pillows had semen stains. Also, they will not clean your room unless you put the tag on your door.

Some other points: The ice machine was broken, so you had to go to the front desk everytime you needed ice since the rooms did noy have refrigerators. It's in a bad neighborhood, so we heard police cars at night. The chain lock was broken on our room. The beds were uncomfortable.

The breakfast was OK but stale. For a "discount" of $115 a night it was a big ripoff.

We stayed here for 2 nights while attending a wedding. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly, but that's about all I can say about this hotel. It's not in a great location - it borders on a bad part of town and it's impossible to get anywhere from it. The breakfast was mediocre, but be sure to get there early because they ran out of many food items before the stated ending time. The only reason we didn't check out and rebook somewhere else was the location across the parking lot from Mallozzi's. The wedding reception was held at Mallozzi's (which was fabulous, by the way), so we were able to walk back to the hotel afterward and didn't have to drive.
