Came into town looking for apartments and wanted the cheapest (yet quality) place to lay my head. The room was clean as was the rest of the property. You know, for about $70 it was no frills, but the basics were there. The continental breakfast was a great start of the next day.

The motel is right across from SUNY Albany and on the # 10 bus line which takes you right into downtown or the Crossgates Mall the other way.

Here's a tip...there is a pub/restaurant called "Across the Street" next door that has cheap beers and great wings. The other food smelled good too.

Hope this helped.

Our room was relatively close to the road on which the hotel is located, and traffic and other outside noise resulted in some difficulty in falling and staying asleep. I presume this could be mitigated by staying in a room on the opposite end of the building, furthest from the street, assuming that one is available.

In virtually every other respect, however, this lodging perfectly suited our needs, i.e., as an economical place to sleep and grab a quick, decent breakfast. We didn't avail ourselves of, or for that matter have any need for, other amenities, and therefore appreciate not having the cost of such features built into the room rate. Our overnight stay in Albany was immediately followed by driving to Saratoga Springs, where hotel rates were vastly inflated due to it being horse racing season at the Saratoga track. Spending the previous night at the Days Inn in Albany instead of a pricey place in Saratoga Springs therefore saved us a substantial amount of money.

Great Place For the money! Newly renovated rooms, the best shower i have ever had in a hotel. Great water pressure. Breakfast was good(continental). Dunkin Donuts connected to building a plus for me. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I went alone to visit my husband in Academy in Albany and felt very safe. They even supplied printed maps to the Academy. Planning to stay again next week. Convenient to restaurants and shopping.

Based on previous reviews, we decided to try this hotel. It was the best decision we could have made. Having stayed at other hotels in Albany, this was by far the best accomodations that we had. The room was large and extremely clean. The staff was friendly and helpful; polite and happy to help. You will have nothing to complain about when you stay here. We will definitely stay here again.
