Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The property is very aged with obvious repairs needing to be done. Our room was clean, with the exception of a very dusty vent behind the bathroom door - not a big deal. There was a large grassy area outside to walk our dog, but no trash can to put the poopie bag.

We came to Schenectady to visit family. We wanted a reasonably priced place to stay. All we really cared about was that it was clean and safe. Although out trash was emptied, the beds were left unmade and the floor looked like someone had tracked in dirt from the outside. The parking area was not convenient. There is a large patch of land that would serve well as parking spaces; instead it serves as a large space to walk to the front office for morning coffee, or just to the office. The office is not connected to the motel.The clientele were a mixed bag of ok and downright seedy. We realize that this is a no frills place and that’s ok. But they could do a lot better.

This hotel room was not cleaned at all. You could tell that the toilet had been used since it was last cleaned. The sheets were stained and the wall closest to the bed was covered in bodily fluids that could have been easily cleaned had someone tried. Everything in the room had a sticky film on it. We were approached by a man under the influence immediately after exiting the car. The man at the front desk was nice and very helpful.

Toilet partially cleaned, with spattered rim from prior occupant. Pillowcase had stains. Walls in need of cleaning, repair, and paint. Sink and tub had been painted(?) but had peeled around the drains. Smoke smell. Mattress was so so. I slept using a fleece comforter I had with me for my dog. We shared. Dog spent a lot of time sniffing around the room. Not a good sign. It was late, I was tired and traveling solo, so I stayed. Slept OK. To the staffs credit, he called just as I entered the room to ask if it was OK. Hadn’t really seen the room, so accepted the room. Should have said no, but as I said, it was late, and I was tired.

While the property is undergoing renovations, it was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. The room smelled of cigarette smoke so badly we had to run the air conditioning all night to try and have fresh air. The two pillows provided were so flat that you really would not know you had a pillow. The tub had burn marks from cigarettes.

Our non-smoking room stunk of smoke, especially strongly in the bathroom. Even the bed linens smelled smoky. The AC had a musty smell to it, and was very loud. I would strongly recommend against staying here.

everything was fine, no issues during the stay. only thing is when we checked out, there was nobody at the office window at 9:40 a.m. I rang the bell 3 times in about 5 minutes and no one ended up coming to the window. I put the 2 key cards through the plexiglass window and just left. hopefully that is the way to do it!

The manager called me during the day to make sure we were still coming. Had a very friendly conversation. We arrived at 11 pm. He greeted me and was very kind. We had been nervous about a late arrival but he assured us he would be there till midnight. This level of thoughtfulness makes me very grateful.
