Don’t waste your money or time
Hotel is in a very dark neighborhood and overall feels unsafe. Manager is rude and throws around the word police at the first sign of you having a complaint with your room or service. No hospitality, bugs everywhere and rooms not clean. Wifi barely works and when it doesn’t staff doesn’t know how to resolve. Choice Hotels should be ashamed to call this a location!

NEVER, EVER AGAIN!
Booking thru Hotels.com went smoothly. Description stated "Pet Friendly" and breakfast included. Upon arrival, waited 20 minutes for the "Manager" Bob Patel to check in the couple ahead of me - took him a while because he had to repeat himself a lot - english not being his best language. Looking around the lobby, I noticed a small sign stating there was a $20 charge for dogs and a $50 charge if you tried to sneak a dog in! Nothing about that in the Hotels.com description and that hardly qualifys as "Pet Friendly"! Manager Patel wouldn't budge and was downright rude. My wife and I (and small dog) had just driven 500 miles and were too tired to look for another motel.
The room was only minimally clean, with dirt in all the corners. Expecting a good breakfast? Expect generic sweetened fruit loops and sweetened cherios with milk from a thermos bottle. No fresh fruit, no juice. Indescribably terrible coffee.

Good for a one Nighter
This place is good for a one night stay. The rooms were clean, but were very outdated. The location was good for anybody who needs to go to Schenectady or Albany to do business or see family. Check in with quick continental breakfast Soso.

Worst Hotel We’ve Ever Stayed In
Possible drugs all over one of the broken nightstands, light fixture hanging open with exposed wires, pills and bugs and random junk on the floor with a 9 month and two year old in the room. The shower drain didn’t drain so you took a bath no matter what, unidentified, gross looking substance in one of the beds and stains/burn holes all over both beds. Wish I had taken photos now it didn’t even cross my mind to.

Nice place, Great value!
It was an adequate stay for a single night. The room in general does need some cosmetic work. I strongly recommend replacing the existing toilets with "comfort height, elongated (oval) seats" for greater comfort and ease of use, especially by older or mobility limited individuals.

I like that the property is on the bus line however I dislike like the fact that I'm the first room i stayed in the room had mice, and then the second room they put me in they have roaches it's sad cause me and my boys are homeless and they charge so much a night to stay here the least they could do is make sure they at least have an exterminator make sure that that this doesn't happen ugh....

Older motel, but the room was fine. There were a lot of folks roaming around the hotel grounds and they yelled at us a couple of times. We also had someone bang on our door at 3:45am, asking for Daniel. Although I don't blame the hotel for this, it speaks to the area. Worked for the night.
