What guests think

Across recent reviews, travellers describe Comfort Inn & Suites Schenectady - Scotia as clean, comfortable, and quiet, with welcoming, helpful staff and a convenient location near Schenectady that offers good value for short stays and family visits.

The indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna are a highlight for families, and the small gym covers basics, though some noted strong chlorine odors, cloudy water, or minor hot tub upkeep. Breakfast is generally well liked for its hot items and choices, but at peak times seating and restocking can be tight and quality varies. Recurring downsides include TV/Chromecast issues, noisy or hard-to-regulate heating and AC, occasional noise between rooms, and isolated housekeeping or billing frustrations. Expect a straightforward, good-value stay with friendly service and practical amenities.

The gym has a Precore US Elliptical type machine that's effective for quick 20-30 minutes workouts. The pool is more like a plunge pool - not suitable for doing laps.

We enjoyed the amenities and the room for our little staycation. It was everything we were looking for. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were so attentive. Only complaint was that the hot tub needed more chemicals to remove scum/ bubbles with slime and was a little warmer than we like. Otherwise, we loved it there and didn’t want to leave. I’ve never had softer pillows and a better night of sleep.

My first room was on the 3rd floor and i had all kinds of issues with the tv. It took hours and several phone calls on my part, before they allowed me to a diff room where the tv was working properly. I wasnt very happy with the length of time it took for me to become accomodated, as hours had passed. Hours that i had wanted to use their sauna and hot tub. Beds and rooms clean and comfortable. Sauna heated up nicely and was clean, as well as the hot tub. Hot tub could use some fresh paint, as it looks quite grimey when the water is still in it. Staff were very friendly and as helpful as they could be, during my tv dilemma. It is centrally located, with chinese place, diner, liquor store and dollar general sharing the same parking lot. Keurig in the room, small fridge and microwave. Blackout curtains. Some rooms have only showers, others have shower bath combo.

This was our third stay at this Comfort Inn. We had a couple issues. The Google Chromecast did not work on the TV in our room and though we were promised twice that the supervisor would be up to our room to assist, no one came. Not a deal breaker but when you're traveling with a teen for 5 nights it is almost imperative. Our second issue was with the a/c. The room was either an ice box with the a/c blowing directly on you or it was damp. There was no sweet spot. It just needed a dehumidifier option to make it feel more comfortable. Otherwise it's a pleasant enough place and convenient for us. We will still stay here since it's the only option near family.

The room was great, but I suspect the walls are VERY thin, as we could clearly hear the people in the next room (and they were just doing the normal stuff: tv, hair drying, etc.). Additionally, I'm not sure if it's the design, or if we had duds but the dispenser for the conditioner barely worked, and the dispenser for lotion did not work at all. Additionally, the elevator was down (no sign) for a short period of time - which wasn't a problem for us but may have been for others. That all being said, the bed was comfy, the room was clean, and the staff was friendly. All and all it was a fine stay, but there were some minor inconveniences, and it was a bit pricey.

This is our fourth stay at this location and the second time that Chromecast did not work. Again, traveling with a 13 year old makes this a true inconvenience. I would suggest upgrading your tech and I will be sure to ask about the room's Chromecast before booking again. I would also point out that the heating in the room was very strange and could do with an update. No way to control or direct the blower (we ended up covering half of it with a towel so we could sit comfortably on the bed) and it was either cold or too hot. Hard to get it right - kind of like in the summer with the AC (no way to direct the cold air and it was damp - as if the AC is too big for the room). Otherwise, our stay was good.

The ceiling between floors is crap, I was on the 2nd floor and whoever was in the room over me I could hear them walking, running, etc. And the entrance door made the worst noise. Was not impressed with the rubber eggs, poached ham or the undercooked sausage for breakfast. Only good side it was cheap.

I love the hotel, everything about it is wonderful. The only complaint I have is that the bed is very uncomfortable. The mattresses are so thin that you can feel the box springs underneath. That is my only complaint ever about this place. I come back here time and time again.

This hotel was nestled in a safe residential area and was adjacent to a small strip of stores (Dollar General, liquor store) and there were restaurant choices within 10 minutes. Stayed here for last minute trip to the races in Saratoga and I would do it again next year, saved a lot of money vs. staying downtown Saratoga.
