What guests think

At Hampton Inn Schenectady Downtown, guests consistently praise the central, walkable location next to Proctors Theatre and near restaurants and the Amtrak station, making it an easy base for events and exploring downtown Schenectady.

Service is widely described as friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast team earns frequent praise. Rooms are often spacious, but dated decor, HVAC control problems, and occasional maintenance quirks are recurring themes. Facilities such as the pool, hot tub, and gym are useful, yet several reviews note pool-area cleanliness concerns and parking that can be limited on busy nights. Expect a convenient stay with warm service and variable upkeep.

Comfortable, close to everything, quaint little shops nearby, Amtrak station a five minute walk away. Pool needed a bit of a scrub, otherwise pristine hotel.

Really enjoyable stay and very friendly staff. The breakfast included was absolutely excellent and the gym and the pool are very clean and accessible. Only problem is that we stayed on a busy night and the initial lot and the overflow lot were both full so we had to park elsewhere when parking was included as part of the advertisement.

Central downtown location. Walkable to many restaurants, entertainment options. Pool area was not cleaned daily as trash, hair, used bandaids etc were there for our 3 day stay. Air conditioner in room struggled to maintain 75 degrees making it uncomfortable for sleeping. Friendly staff. With a few tweaks this could be an excellent choice.

Pool area floor was not clean. Visible grime. When in hot tub, I noticed ants crawling nearby and even one floating in the water which was enough for me to get out. My son was excited to use the pool so we stayed down there for about an hour. I purposely didn’t bring any shower products bc hampton inn usually provides them. The shampoo bottle in shower was empty and body hair from previous patron was on bottle. Decided to give my son a shower instead of bath because every time I plugged bathtub to fill, black specks were in water. Emptied and tried to fill 2x. Still black specks. By sink there was razor cover from previous patron. Had brought our own blanket so slept on top of bedcovers and used own blanket after deciding room wasn’t thoroughly clean. I was too tired from travel and day’s activities to complain.

This property is in desperate need of a refurbishment. As soon as you walk in, there’s a musty smell which hits you. Room is very old fashioned with fabrics which look like they’ve been there for decades and also a very musty smell. Can’t fault the staff though, very friendly and attentive.

Overall, it was a positive experience and the hotel was Within walking distance of the theater, where we went to see our show. The only concern we had was that the temperature controls in the room did not work, and there were no instructions on how to use them. By the time we got back to our room, it was late at night and therefore we did not bother trying to get it fixed so we just Went to sleep and dealt with the overly warm room conditions. Everything else was good and the front desk check in and check out procedures for very easy and the complementary breakfast was pretty standard for any hotel

Our stay here was good. The property is located in a great area that is easy to navigate on foot or by car and the onsite parking was great. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The room was clean and as expected. My only critique is that on the whole the property would benefit from some updates as it was a little dated compared to other Hampton Inn’s we’ve stayed at before. Despite that we would stay here again if we ever revisited the area.

The hotel is very overpriced for the room and ambience. The room was large, but it contained no chair on which a guest could relax. It did contain a desk & desk chair, but no arm chair. I’ve not been to a hotel that charged morr than $ 250 a night ghat dis not have an armchair. It was a corner room, which is nice, but it was noisy. The location is ideal. The breakfast was edible, the coffee plentiful, and the front desk staff was friendly & efficient. Also, there was no housekeeping—no making of the bed or emptying of the trash. For the money, this hotel is not eith it (but in Schenectady, one has little choice).

We arrived at noon and attempted to check in early. We were told our room wasn't ready but we would be put on the early list for a 1:30 check in. We arrived back at 3:45 and were told our room wasn't ready, along with many other guests. We did not get into our room until 4:15 and then were charged a higher rate than what was on the itinerary we booked with you. I will take that up at another time.

This is a very beautiful place to stay, the workers were really nice and courteous except for an older big white guy who refused to give me and my kids bottle water and said the bottle water were for Elite members only.That wasn’t my first time there , I’m always welcome with a bag containing 2 bottle water as a Hilton Honor member each time I stay there but this particular night I checked in around 11pm and had to ask for just a bottle when he didn’t offer any but he vehemently refused us when he had a truck load of water sitting right next to him at the front desk and was so rude!!!!!

The beds and pillows were comfortable and everything was very clean. The hotel is conveniently located near many restaurants and is down the street from Proctor's Theatre. Thanks for a great stay. We will be back!

This was my first time staying here and I definitely would recommend it. It was clean and quiet. The stay was so nice, ESPECIALLY Ms. Felicia who ran breakfast the weekend I was there and all weekends. So welcoming and such a special member of the staff. Plus she can throw down in the kitchen (especially those breakfast potatoes. 5 star). I will be returning to this area in the fall hopefully and hope to see Ms. Felicia there.

Zero issues! Fabulous experience. Suite was larger than expected. Breakfast was fabulous. Probably the best offerings I have had in this level of hotel. Felicia in the breakfast area was not only verk kind she was always buzzing around helping people and working. She is probably definitely one of your best and hardworking employees. She has a genuine warmth and welcoming attitude. All staff were pleasant and had a smile. I stayed 2 nights on a sold out weekend. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. - my only recommendation would be to change light bulb (or add makeup mirror with changing light) color in bathroom so that it makes it easier for women to apply makeup. I did have to go into the kitchen area for more light because the bathroom has an amber cast from the lights. But other than that. Zero issues.
