Reviews
The hotel is generally clean and quiet with friendly staff. However, there are issues with noise in the hallways and understaffing, leading to poor service in the bistro and housekeeping. Some guests found the beds uncomfortable and the shower not well cleaned.
- Clean and quiet place
- Great amenities, including a bistro and comfortable rooms
- Kids and adults running and screaming through hallways into the middle of the night
- Understaffed, leading to poor service in the bistro and housekeeping

Friendly staff and very clean Don’t like how they said they would email me a receipt and then didn’t. I need that receipt to get reimbursed for my stay. So hopefully after seeing this I can get a receipt emailed to me. Thanks

The front desk was very welcoming and friendly. There was a continuous noise in the room. Woke me up way earlier than I wanted to be up. May have been from the air duct system.

Absolutely loved the staff. They were very nice, and super helpful. We got back late from a trip and wanted something for delivery. They were very helpful with helping us find a place. Room was very hot and kind of smelled like pot. Also the toilet didn't flush that well. Can't give too much of a review for the hotel overall since we were only there for the one night and went right to bed, but from what I saw, it was very nice.

Location, clean The awkardness of the breakfast compensation by the staff, there is no hot tub or spa according to staff and self checking. Booking.comm has it listed with one which was one of the biggest reasons I picked hotel.

Room clean and comfortable Rates to expensive for the time of year. We literally got there at midnight and left at 8 am and the cost was too much. I had a dance code for a discount and they said it was too late to add it in for the discount

The staff were nice. The room was good, however the bathroom was very small and the clean towels had strands of hair falling off of them when I picked them up. The Bed was comfy but the pillows were too soft for me. The bright blinking lights on the smoke detector were also very distracting to my sleep. Aside from those things, my stay was good.

Location was good. I did not eat the breakfast. I was disappointed it was not included in the price.

The staff at front desk, cleaning crew and lobby food area were all very nice and helpful, room and bathroom was very clean and comfortable. It's a super convenient location close to campus. Nothing fancy, but perfect for our trip. 4 Stars mainly because with extreme cold outside the heating was in overdrive so our room was too warm for great sleep, but they explained the issue, got a tech guy up to the room to try and fix and brought us a fan, which helped a lot the second night. There were no free amenities in the lobby (coffee), but Starbucks on site was awesome. Will definitely stay again!

Room was clean, staff very nice, beds comfortable. I was just surprised at being a top scale name of motels, that it did not offer any anemities at all. No complementary coffee any place, no complimentary breakfast. I was very surprised that we had to pay for these things at a connected bistro inside the lobby.
- 3/5
Was not happy to learn that my final invoice showed a $40 increase over the first night that I paid for, with no logical explanation. Because the hotel is located right off the highway, there is a constant background sound of a white noise machine. It sounds as though someone shower is constantly running. Even though the building is non-smoking, I could still smell smoke from wherever people were smoking cigarettes.

Very clean nice staff. Not far from restaurants and bars. 10 min drive or by cab

The best part was that the air-conditioning or heating unit was in the bathroom and not in the bedroom where you slept so there was no noise going on and off all night long

This is a nice facility, located where we can easily drive to an event we attend yearly. My spouse used to travel on business, her employer wanted Marriott as the go-to for hotels. She is happy with the chain.

Took 20 minutes to check in . They tried to give me a room with a broken dead bolt until I asked for a new room. I asked the front desk if they had any water , the answer was no . The area around the hotel is dirty and filthy and you can hear all the traffic on the 90. Stay anywhere else
- 1/5
The facility did not have proper dining for our dinner. There was not adequate spacing in the bathroom you couldn't even close the door to use the bathroom properly, and to make makers worse the facility had NO HOT WATER after I discovered there was NO HOT WATER 2 staff members came to our room. Verifying that there was NO HOT WATER upon speaking to another manager. He did not want to address the issue because he felt it should be addressed by booked 3 party Expedia The Marriott, Courtyard, should regularly check their facility before renting there rooms out. It is not our place to go in and pay full price for a room and then discover that we're being taken advantage of as seniors. The manager who's name was Mark did not want to discuss the issue with me. And then made a statement.do you have water problems at your own house, which was totally out of character.

💯 polite, warm, efficient staff everywhere who went the extra step to be helpful. Bravo- front desk folks, bistro server and cook who adapted a dish for me, ( I appreciate the bistro a lot with minimal options nearby for a tired traveler), housekeeping! The marketplace options were decent and also nice to offer wine full bottles instead of.sub par single servings. NY has some good canned single serving wine options from their own wineries, so that would be a nice touch. My only comment is to provide a bathtub option in some rooms if possible, and the shower sprays water all over the floor when you turn it on and then get in. Maybe better quality coffee in the in room service. Great to have Starbucks in the bistro

House keeping is horrible. They took the dirty towels and put them with the clean ones. Didn’t even bother to clean one of the rooms; spill in bathroom was not cleaned and they left the dirty glasses and ice bucket in the room, didn’t bother to change or clean.

The worst stay ever. The couch bed was all springs no matress foam. My kids couldn't sleep on it and the hotel couldn't accommodate us with a cot or another couch. My kids slept on the floor with exta covers. The pool was small and didn't work. They never came to clean the room nor did they give extra rags and towels. The bathroom is small and the toilet is low on the floor. The covers was used and old. This place isnt a Marriott its garbage.

Wow..this is a great place. The room is huge. The televise is huge. The only that isn't is the bathroom but at least it is a walk in shower. They gave us water bottles when we checked in and there were also two in our. Why don't more hotels do this? There is a 7-11 and Dunkin Donuts on either side of the hotel. Bonus: using my Expedia points the room only cost us $7

Checked in Saturday and room was still not serviced by Tuesday. I had to ask for service and some extra items. Staff was always polite and willing to help but we should not have to ask for the basics. Water heater broke down and caused inevitable delays for getting ready for business obligations. Accidents happen and understandable but still waiting to see the promised 10,000 points after repeated inquiries at the front desk. Relative quiet but during two nights around 2-3am folks were partying and was very unpleasant.

We were replaced in the ultra handicap room that was tucked away around the corner. It was not necessary.. The hotel was empty and I’m sure there were other rooms that weren’t available and also the chicken took forever with Marc in the evening.

Stayed here for a visit to University of Albany. Location cannot be beat - directly across from the school. Adjacent to a Dunkin' which is a huge bonus for me. Only downside is our room was right along Rt 90 - so lots of auto noise.

This was a disastrous night! First, the entire room vibrated, and I mean the floor, the walls, the couch and the bed. Made sleeping nearly impossible! Second, the shower drain had clearly NOT been cleaned in a very long time... hair, mold, soap scrum. Needless to say, I did not sleep AND did not take a shower!

This is my go to hotel to come to when I’m in Albany. It’s close to everything and in a nice area. The only thing I didn’t like this time was my room. The room overall is spacious and nice. But the rug in the room had an old smell. The tv kept turning off and on by itself. And the ac also appeared to be on eco mode and often turned off during the night and I couldn’t change the settings. I would still come here as the other times I had excellent rooms.
