Liked everything about this hotel. Appreciate the kitchen facilities. It was incredibly clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the complimentary wine and snacks our first evening. The breakfast was very good. Staff at the front desk were welcoming and pleasant. I would stay here again, no question. Everything was just great. If I have to nit pick, I didn't like having the bed next to the bathroom area without a door. But that seems to be the way the room is designed.

the breakfast was not very good Location was fine. Eggs & tatter tots were cold. NO sign stated what kind of muffins were in the case. The pillows cases were so wrinkled they looked like they were not changed. Glad I bought my own pillowcases.

The room had an electric 2 burner cooktop, full sized fridge and microwave. The room was clean with effective heating unit. It was ZERO outside the night we were there. The only MINOR issue was the placement of the TV. It was wall mounted in the middle of wall #2. Wall #1 had the bed headboard and Wall #3 had the couch. TV viewing was from a huge side angle. But that was easily overcome by moving the couch to be in front of the TV. We had food delivered to the room from a local pizzeria who also did a very nice job with food quality, cost and speed of delivery. We will be going back to this same hotel every time we have to travel to Albany's Funny Bone Comedy Club at Crossgates Mall.

Late at night a group of kids attempted to open my room door and knocked on my door. The kids wanted to come in my room and sleep. It was reported that night as well as the next morning. The front desk told me this happens at the hotel. Random outside kids walk into the hotel. I didn’t feel safe knowing anyone can walk into the facility late at night. Everything else in the hotel was good.

Poorly maintained property. Dishwasher leaked. Shower not convenient (water pressure too high, shower door too close to toilet seat). Uncomfortable bed (we couldn't sleep well for 2 nights). Breakfast not so appealing; limited choices. Overall too expensive given the quality and location.

The staff were all very friendly and informative. The hotel is nice and big. The room is also spacious and beds were comfy. Having a kitchenette and extra couch/bed was convenient. The pool looked nice but we didn’t have time to use it. Breakfast was really good, with lots of selection and two different areas to choose from and plenty of room to sit. My only complaint is the overall cleanliness of the room…couch was stained, headboards were also, and tables/surfaces didn’t look clean. It was good for a one night stay traveling through.

The suites were great. Nice and roomy with the kitchenette. The common space was great. We stay up pretty late with a group of people in the lounge. It was welcoming and comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was ok but the tables and eating space were comfortable and spacious. The patio in the back was a bonus for the children to play basketball. Close to the mall was an added bonus.

We have always enjoyed our stay at Homewood Suites in different areas as well as the Crossgates one but never again. It was a nice room so it wasn’t cheap but the condition of the room was just not exceptable.

Hotel was great and perfectly located for our needs on our vacation. Very clean and got a regular series of texts to make certain our stay was a great one. Breakfast was yummy with choice of two spaces to eat. Only two issues: DirecTV was apparently working on something two of our nights there and the tv kept loosing its "source" but would come back up again after a few tries. The other issue was that the pool was COLD - felt unheated! Too cold to go swimming in which was unfortunate as the pool was one reason we had booked the hotel. Would stay there again, however.

Check in was easy and the staff was greatI got a 2 queen suite that was nice and spacious. My kids like it a lot. The bedding was terrible. The top bla ket was a duvet and the pillows squished down to nothing. The room smelled musty though i left the ceiling fan on all day, even while we were away. The pool was hazy and walls were dingy looking. Breakfast was pretty bad, too. Im pretty sure the eggs werent made of eggs and the sausage patty was the worst that ive ever had. It would be better to have offered nothing.
- 3/5
The room is spacious and the bed is very comfortable. Breakfast the usual continental breakfast. Nothing special. I wouldn’t stay here again. The walls are paper thin and I could actually hear the guy next to me snoring through the walls! There were like 10 kids in the rooms across from me making loud noises for hours. I wanted a peaceful, quiet stay and got the opposite of that.

When I went to check in I wasn’t greeted, the woman that checked me in was more so worried about clocking out and someone relieving her. I was told I’d have to wait because no rooms were ready. Luckily another staff member came over and confirmed there was a room ready. When we first arrived to our room it looked a bit dirty as if it wasn’t vacuumed, or wiped down,there was old food in the heater vent, like a whole cracker was in the vent sitting there. The couch had stains all over it and the blankets and sheets for the pull out couch were stained like actual food stains. When my daughter went to take a shower she noticed the brown ring around the tub before getting in. It felt as if the room was rushed to be clean.wasn’t the greatest experience. I chose this hotel because we previously stayed here and I had no complaints,but this time around it was a bit upsetting.

My wife and I had 2 queen beds. The room was nice but the beds were very uncomfortable too soft.

Hotel looks very good, room was nice, but housekeeping needs improvement. I booked two rooms. In my daughters' room she had to call to the desk to complain about the stained sheets on her bed. They should have come up and changed them instead they brought her sheets. In my room they have pumps on the wall for the usual complimentary soaps and shampoo. I get in the shower, and they were empty, there is no bar of soap in the room. Talk to the desk and someone comes up with the bottles but does not install them just leaves them on the desk. The room has a small kitchen area, I am glad I had not brought food to the room because how do you eat anything when the utensils consist of two spoons, three knives, and no forks. I found that the rooms are not very soundproof especial overhead. All that said the general condition of the physical room was very good. I would stay here again if I had to, but I would come prepared.

hours by hundreds of armed police and we were terrified and traumatized. The staff was very kind and apologetic but we asked for a refund and the General Manager said she would arrange it but I haven't heard from the hotel yet

It was a nice hotel, the location was great. Shopping right next store. The issues were few, there were loud out door parties during quiet hours which where annoying but not horrible. I am not sure where recreational cannabis smoking is handled at hotels but the smell in the hall ways was unreal. I guess I wasn’t expecting to get the dorm room feel in a hotel.
- 3/5
Bathroom was small, a lot of street noise, check-in clerk pointed us to the wrong breakfast bar, so we had 4 days of not very good breakfasts, not knowing that there was apparently a better breakfast bar for Homewood Suites guests. No material explaining hotel features in the room. Bed was comfortable.

Nice clean property. We stayed in a suite and it was enough room for 5 people. Not large but not tiny. The only suggestion would be to have the bathroom outside of the bedroom so you can have some privacy at night. Breakfast wasn’t fancy but it was a nice addition.

Waited 45 minutes to check in. The desk is right inside the doors so it’s chaos. When we got the room, one of the maids came and said she may have left an earring in the room and then entered without my permission. I told her to leave 3 times before she finally did. The counters were dirty, the dishwasher was going when we got there. Felt like a super 8 motel.

I liked that it was next to the mall. We actually had dinner there at Maggie McFly's which was surprisingly good! The thing that we didn't like was the hotel Lobby with the sharing with TruHotel. It was chaotic and the Staff upon check in and subsequent times- was not that helpful or personable. Thank you.

Was very nice ; the suites were spacious.. but not what they look like in the pics. Friendly staff, but there a few flaws to the place. The pool is small, and there is no hot tub on the premises. Other than the bed not being that comfortable, compared to say the Marriott; it was a good place to stay. Proximity to the mall, is the real seller . Especially when you have kids . I’d recommend, except the pool area. Basketball court outside looked well kept, plowing wasn’t the greatest that day..
- 5/5
We chose this property because of the large suite with a full kitchen, indoor pool, lots of lounge area, hot buffet breakfast, and pool table. The family and I (5) had a great time. Jennifer at the front desk was lovely and very helpful! Minutes from the mall with lots of shopping, dining, and fun for the kids (arcade, bowling, airsoft...). I would stay again.

Hotel was very nice. Unfortunately, there was a large group of people (who were mostly not staying the hotel) throwing a birthday party in the pool area. They were using the entire space and had balloons all throughout the pool, so our kids could not use the pool area. That was disappointing, but the rest was nice. We really liked the walking distance to the mall for shopping and restaurants.
