Price was good
This econo lodge is very dated and run down. But the staff was nice, the price was good and the breakfast was decent: cereal, bagels, hard boiled eggs and waffles and the coffee was good. If you are looking for a quick, cheap stopover in Albany, it was fine.

Would stay again
Budget is tight and there was an online discount for the room. The hotel had a better review than others in the same price range. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I didn’t realize that you entered the rooms from outdoors, but we didn’t have any security issues. The room was no-frills which was expected, but we were happy with it. It is also a good location for a visit to Albany.

Older hotel
Not a bad stay, but this is an older hotel, not in the best condition. If i'd driven by first, I would not have booked the hotel.

some good...some bad
The breakfast was Meh. could be a little better. The worst part is the room smelled skunky...(trying to be nice here but it smelled like ass) and wet dog. DID like the room size that was real nice, especially when on business.

Good, but pot
The room was very nice, the heating and cooling system worked perfectly. Sheets were too thin for us personally, bed was very soft. The shower had great pressure and temperature. The biggest complaint was the amount of pot. My husband is extremely sensitive to the drug and gets horrible headaches just from a whiff of it. The room next to us was smoking both in the night and first thing in the morning. There were others smoking pot as well, despite being multiple no smoking rooms. This should be banned from hotels. Just because someone else wants to destroy their lungs and brain cells, doesn’t mean we all have to.

NOT WHAT YOU SEE ON HOTELS.COM
We saw the room on Hotel.com Thought we got a great deal and the jacuzzi was included and wamted another $100 a night. The room smelled of mildrew and mold the beds were horrendous, didnt have the handicap access ability needed fot my grandons wheelchair. To a look around the room dust and dead bugs. The floor was flithy , you could see where it wasnt mopped up. Too much to add.

Unusable WiFi, Curbside appeal is poor. Ok inside.
The internet speed was LESS THAN 2MB per sec, which is useless in this modern age. Epic fail. So I had to use my cell phone to create a wifi hot spot for my computer.

The room was dirty. They made the bed with dirty sheets with makeup and hair all over.
