The gym is open 24hrs a day, the staff is very helpful and the location is great given that the street has dozens of restaurants, shops and the airport nearby.

We learned that one should request a room on the quiet side of the building or get a room on the 6th or 7th floor because of noise from the very busy street---the 1br were only avail on the street side and having a room on the higher floor didn't really help...pretty noisy. Being on the 6th floor....water temp and pressure were issues. Lastly, as a diamond member you are supposed to get a $10 credit for yourself and one other registered guest in your room --in my case, my wife. Just reviewed our bill and noticed we only got one credit each day even with receipts that clearly indicated 2 people....and yes, rechecked to make sure my wife's name was on the reservation and it was. So....couple things they need to work on.

From the street and the upper parking lot this hotel looks closed but drive around to the main entrance and everything starts to take shape, The front steps lead up to a very cozy lobby with a fire in the fireplace and beside that is the front desk. The staff at the front desk were very efficient and friendly with getting us checked in. The whole decor is colonial in style without being stuffy. The room was different in style than the front lobby. The room was extremely comfortable and cozy which was needed after a long night of travel and the first college tour. From the desk and headboards the style was a bit more modern with the bathroom door being a barn door style . The room was very quiet and the view was serene. In the morning the complimentary breakfast was a little above average with a couple unique items like fresh scones. This is a place that I would book again if I needed to stay in the area. Why stay in a box when you can stay in comfort and style

I booked the hotel through Chase. Travel I was originally going to stay here on a Friday night, as…read moreI was flying out of Albany on Saturday. I had to fly home a day early, I called Chase, Travel, who checked with the hotel, and they were, no problem at all. They were very flexible. It's a great location, right next to the freeway, but far enough back that you don't hear any noise , and only about 10 minutes or so from Albany airport. I checked in, and everything in the hotel was clean, bright, and modern. The gentleman who checked me in was very friendly, very personable, continuously called me by name, and he got me checked in. Because I'm a higher level with IHG, I got a little "goodie bag" with snacks. I thought that was nice. The hotel also has a little "snack shop" with sundries and food that you can buy. Prices are a little bit higher, but that's expected because you were buying them directly at the hotel. The room itself was modern and spotless, it was a decent sized room. The TV got a great picture, it had a Keurig available, and there was also a fridge and microwave. There was a desk to eat or work at, and plenty of places to charge my gear. The Wi-Fi was fast enough to stream video. The bathroom was also spotless. This is very minor, but the bathtub did not have any type of bathmat or anything like that to stand on. There was a grab bar to grab in case one slipped, but it would be nice to have a bath mat. The bed was comfortable, and I slept like a baby. The hotel has an indoor pool and a hot tub, and a fitness center, of which I did not use. They also have a free laundry for guests, and that came in very handy. I'm glad I didn't have to fly home with dirty laundry. The breakfast in the morning was excellent, hot and cold choices, including cinnamon rolls, pancakes, eggs, proteins, juice, hot and cold cereal, cocoa, and coffee. A very nice stay that definitely lives up to the IHG brand. Thank you for a great night.

What should have been a minor maintenance issue turned into one of the worst hotel experiences I've…read morehad because of the General Manager. During my stay, I dealt with hair in my bedding, a leaking refrigerator, a replacement refrigerator that leaked a brown substance and filled the room with an overwhelming odor, and then another refrigerator that stopped working altogether. Through every issue, the front desk staff were kind, apologetic, and did everything they could to help. The problem was the General Manager, Shelia Annokyia Dubanowich When I politely requested a new room after multiple refrigerator failures, she immediately interrupted me and spoke over me. Instead of asking to see the photos or thanking me for documenting the issue, Sheila questioned why I had taken them in the first place and bluntly told me, "You're not getting a new room. We're booked up." There was no empathy, no apology, and no effort to make things right. When I expressed concern about the substance that had leaked from the refrigerator, Sheila immediately corrected me after I referred to it as Freon and assured me it wasn't toxic. Whether it was or wasn't, was not the point. As a guest, I wasn't looking for a technical explanation. What disappointed me most was her attitude. She came across as defensive and dismissive instead of listening to a guest who had experienced repeated problems. She even criticized members of her own night staff during our conversation, suggesting that because of what they are paid, they don't always care or do their jobs well, which I found unprofessional--especially since those employees had treated me with far more courtesy and respect than she did. Maintenance issues happen. Leadership and customer service are what determine whether guests return. The front desk staff earned my appreciation. Sheila, on the other hand, could use some Management and Customer Service training. Nobody cares Sheila, that you used to work for the FBI. Guests should never feel like they're being interrogated when they're simply reporting a problem. Unfortunately, that's exactly how my interaction with Sheila felt.
