“Vacuum cleaner broken?”

Super 8 Albany

Feb 29, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

The room of the floor seemed never to be cleaned. Dirt and hair everywhere! The floor even wasnt even. Bathroom also terrible: everthing old, broken and dirty. Noticed some bugs. Complained about this all and requested a new room. Got a new room, however this also wasn't clean. "It was somewhat less dirty." Would advise not to go there anytime. The price of 80 dollars was way toooo much for this crap. Looked more like 15 bugs worth.

“Super Gross”

1/1 found this review helpful

There was a pile of garbage outside of our room (broken toilet, broken cot, old mattresses) and a smell of urine. Inside, there were insects, stains on walls, mildew in bathroom and broken fixtures. Someone had attempted to force the chain lock, and the door frame was coming away from the wall. The bed was a little lumpy.

2/2 found this review helpful

We got caught by rain a friday nite and had to decide to sleep in Albany on our way to Canada.

We arrived at 9.30 pm and were told complete. I insisted and was offered a room at 139.99$ which is way over the price indficated for that room. had no other choice than accept.

Room was dirty from floor carpeting to bedsheets that looked like they have not been changed and were very old and did not seem clean.

no tv memote in the room called room serviced and they said to come over for one we did it just did not work

It was my first time in a super 8 and i sure cannot imagine that any other place would be that bad.......

I will just go to one of them if stuck.......and i will for sure ask to see the room before renting......would prefer to sleep in the car than one of those like we got

JUST BE CAREFULL BEFORE CONSIDERING SUPER 8

Poorly maintained, not clean at all. Avoid this one - better to sleep in the car.

“Avoid this place like the plague!”

6/6 found this review helpful

I stayed here July 2005 because I needed a place that was inexpensive and pet-friendly. The pictures on the website are very deceiving. This is the worst place I have ever stayed and could not wait to check out the next morning. The bathroom was moldy, carpet stained, rooms decrepit, bed lumpy and the breakfast (if you could call it that) was hardly a "Super Start" consisting of the aforementioned pre-packaged muffins and weak coffee. Trash and litter surrounded the grounds, my dog didn't even like this place! The room rate was inexpensive, but you get what you pay for - caveat emptor.
