What guests think

Many guests praise the friendly, accommodating staff and generally clean, modern rooms at Courtyard by Marriott Schenectady at Mohawk Harbor, alongside a convenient, walkable location by the casino and restaurants, though some note drawbacks that affect comfort and value.

Recurring complaints include train horns at night and noisy or malfunctioning HVAC. Housekeeping quality is mixed, with several reports of stained linens or bathrooms needing attention alongside many clean stays.

Be aware that there is an active railroad line/crossing right next to the hotel and you'll hear train horns multiple times a night that will wake you out of a sound sleep. Other than that, the hotel is conveniently located near the casino and parking is easy

My first time and I was not impressed! The hotel is very nice. The staff was very nice. For the price ...it's not a good value. Breakfast was 30.00, should be free!! No hot tub, water in pool was like ice.

I had stayed for a cheer competition for my daughter along with my littlest daughter, she had been a little ansty and instead of waiting to checkin at 3. They allowed us to check in early at noon. Was very thankful. Since all she really wanted was to go into the pool. Pool could have been a little warmer but thats all. Rooms are clean and very spacious. Especially with children. My daughters loved it here. Will definitely book again.

Hotel is very sterile and basic. Beds are comfortable but don’t really have a bed, just fraying cushions for a headboard and box spring wrapped in fabric for base. The room lighting is poor, lights over bed blast a spotlight down on your head while the rest of the room has no lighting. In house restaurant was closed due to “an emergency”-? All in all, it comfortable and clean but basic. There were three restaurants we could walk to although not so family friendly as they are all wine/beer /bar focused.

The bath mat had stains on it before using. The tub while showering would not drain so the water was over your feet while bathing. The remote for the tv didn’t work. Overall this was not what I expect from a marriott especially b because of all the money that we spent to stay thh he weekend . Very expensive.

This is our fourth New Year’s staying at this property and every time we do it’s a pleasure. The rooms are clean, well appointed and large enough to move around. The windows actually open a little for fresh air, which is very important to me we will be back again next year!

The hotel was clean, beautiful and had great amenities. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was spacious and extremely clean. I was just disappointed I couldn’t manually turn the AC on as it only seemed to work on energy saver mode (short bursts of AC). The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the check in-out process was a breeze. I look forward to staying here again in the future!

Sheet did not fit on the bed. We could hear the tv in the next room. Room was cold all night. When I booked the room, it said that breakfast was included. Becky at the front desk said that it was not and expected me, the guest, to reach out to Expedia. I recently stayed at the Marriott in White Plains which had a fabulous buffet breakfast included. That was not the case in Schenectady. When you pay $300 for one night, that is ridiculous. Very disappointed.
