Convenient location, very quiet. However, the exterior badly needs updating and remodeling, the grounds would benefit from trash removal and some landscaping. There was no coffee maker in the room and none available at the office, which would have been a nice courtesy. The room itself, while clean on the surface, had dirty corners in the sink area and the “hardwood “ floors could have looked better.

i had car trouble on my way there and was not able to make my stay ...when i called and asked for a rain check they said because i pre paid and used Expedia that was not possible and i forfeited my fee for that evening and i should have opted to pay in person on arrival... I found that to be very disheartening amd hope something can be done in this natter as i am a regular traveler

We had been nervous about a late arrival but he assured us he would be there till midnight. This level of thoughtfulness makes me very grateful.

everything was fine, no issues during the stay. only thing is when we checked out, there was nobody at the office window at 9:40 a.m. I rang the bell 3 times in about 5 minutes and no one ended up coming to the window. I put the 2 key cards through the plexiglass window and just left. hopefully that is the way to do it!

Toilet partially cleaned, with spattered rim from prior occupant. Pillowcase had stains. Walls in need of cleaning, repair, and paint. Sink and tub had been painted(?) but had peeled around the drains. Smoke smell. Mattress was so so. I slept using a fleece comforter I had with me for my dog. We shared. Dog spent a lot of time sniffing around the room. Not a good sign. It was late, I was tired and traveling solo, so I stayed. Slept OK.

To the staffs credit, he called just as I entered the room to ask if it was OK. Hadn’t really seen the room, so accepted the room. Should have said no, but as I said, it was late, and I was tired.

Less than desirable experience

While the property is undergoing renovations, it was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. The room smelled of cigarette smoke so badly we had to run the air conditioning all night to try and have fresh air. The two pillows provided were so flat that you really would not know you had a pillow. The tub had burn marks from cigarettes.

This hotel room was not cleaned at all. You could tell that the toilet had been used since it was last cleaned. The sheets were stained and the wall closest to the bed was covered in bodily fluids that could have been easily cleaned had someone tried. Everything in the room had a sticky film on it. We were approached by a man under the influence immediately after exiting the car. The man at the front desk was nice and very helpful.

I seldom leave bad reviews because I know how hard it is to run a small business. For the benefit of the owners and future guests; you must CLEAN and I mean DEEP CLEAN. Not just surfaces but cracks, corners, floor boards, behind doors and everywhere high and low. The room was absolutely filthy. The blanket under the bedspread had cigarette burns and stains so bad I wouldn't use it for my dog. The smell of weed and cigarettes in the room was nauseating. We didn't dare turn on the HVAC because it was equally filthy and I can't imagine the mold and filth that would have spewed forth. Stayed here because it was the last available room for the eclipse. For the owners: you will make more money and have a higher occupancy if you invest in your property. Take every curtain, bed cover, blanket and stitch of fabric; burn them and replace. Literally use a power washer to clean the rooms then paint. Take the HVAC unit apart and CLEAN it then put in new filters. Remove moldy black caulk from bathroom and replace. Your guests will be happy and leave nice reviews attracting more guests, more income, and higher profits. On the plus side the man at reception was very friendly and nice. The sheets and towels, although very thin, appeared and smelled clean...THANK GOD. And the mattress was satisfactory. Fixing this place is more elbow grease than $$$. Work on one room a week and in a year you will have a new property. I wish you the best of success.

We came to Schenectady to visit family. We wanted a reasonably priced place to stay. All we really cared about was that it was clean and safe. Although out trash was emptied, the beds were left unmade and the floor looked like someone had tracked in dirt from the outside. The parking area was not convenient. There is a large patch of land that would serve well as parking spaces; instead it serves as a large space to walk to the front office for morning coffee, or just to the office. The office is not connected to the motel.The clientele were a mixed bag of ok and downright seedy. We realize that this is a no frills place and that’s ok. But they could do a lot better.
