Gorgeous old mansion with stunning oak woodwork. The problem is that it's located in a slum neighborhood! Literally lock the doors at night and don't go out. Didn't feel safe at all. Sweetheart of a woman who ran the place couldn't have been more accommodating. She cooked a wonderful breakfast. Would not have stayed there if I knew what the neighborhood was like.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay! We were in the area for the weekend for DMB's shows at SPAC- 30 min drive. Tina (owner/ host) was exceptional. She was extremely communicative. The property was clean and held its historic charm. Breakfast was fantastic and made to order. We felt safe with the security system in place. Off street parking provided. Tina was lovely and easy to talk to. She is very knowledgeable about the city of Troy and its history. This will be our new go to when we are in the area. Thanks Tina!

This a quirky old style. B and B. There are many common rooms, and guests are invited to use the, chat with the other guests and with the owner herself. Our bathroom was private and just down the hall- it locked to ensure that no other guests used it. The breakfast was plentiful, tasty and made to order.

Better than a hotel!

Old Judge Mansion is a BEAUTIFUL home, loaded with wonderful antiques and architecture. I stayed there with my son for a trip to Rensselaer Polytechnic, which is close by. During our stay, the inn was not full to capacity so we did not have to share a bathroom, but it would have been fine even if we did. Our room was comfortable and easily accessible. We enjoyed getting to know our host and the other guests over breakfast, which was varied, plentiful and delicious. Offstreet parking was available, which was a bonus. No complaints and I would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Much better than a hotel!!

Unhappy

Upon arrival, the building looked interesting. The off street parking was nice. At closer inspection, the building has not been cared for. Window boxes were left with dead plants, stuff was lying around the house, Looking in the windows they were loaded with “stuff” , the front steps had not been swept; very uninviting. The owner did greet us. She tried to be nice, but also shared our most of her gas made her crazy with their requests and needs. The house was cluttered with stuff it was disorganized and messy. For example a case of Diet Coke was at the guest sign in book. There are private bathrooms but they are down the hall from the bedrooms. All of the bedding needs to be updated, there was an ironing board open in the sitting room,a wall of VHS tapes that are years and years old, and stuff everywhere. The beds looked like they were 100 years old. In the bathroom, the towels were thread bare. I opened the closet door to find more stuff thrown into the closet. I saw a dog dish, towels thrown in there, partially used hemorrhoid cream tubes, and other stuff I couldn’t even identify. We did not spend the night as it was unacceptable. I would never recommend this B & B.

Olde-Style Charm and Grace

The Olde Judge Mansion looks ordinary from the outside, but inside it's a treasure featuring beautiful tiger-oak woodwork and lovely period furnishings. We chose a room in the back of the mansion that was said to be quiet and found it as advertised. Our bathroom was across the hall, and we were okay with that. Everything was spotless. Breakfast service and tips from the innkeeper on where to eat and what to do were excellent. Our VCR didn't work, so we chose books from hotel, and that turned out to be serendipitous--one book was so interesting that we later bought our own copy.

I'm sold on bed and breakfasts!

My girlfriend and I were in Troy for my college buddy's wedding. I have never been to a bed and breakfast before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, other than there's only breakfast (duh) and I would REALLY have to keep the volume down. Tina, the owner, was very kind, as well as a pleasant conversationalist and a quality chef.

Remember that this location IS A HOUSE, in a residential area -this is not the place to have an after-party of any kind. It is, however, a quiet place to stay at a great price.

We did not spend much time in the neighborhood, as the wedding was in Downtown Troy. I walked around a little and saw a community garden, a community center, and the Troy Bike Rescue -as the name implies, they fix up bicycles.

Should I find myself in Troy again, I will definitely go back to the Olde Judge Mansion. I strongly recommend this bed and breakfast, and if I'm in other cities, I'll look for a bed and breakfast as an option.

Nice place, terrible neighborhood

Bottom line, once you are in the hotel it is decent, but I wouldn't recommend staying anyplace in this neighborhood. A mile our two closer to RPI makes a world of difference. I would have given the place 3 or 4 stars, except for the neighborhood and the fact that the bathroom is only accessible via the common areas.

Pros:
Inexpensive
Clean
Lots of board games for family entertainment

Cons:
Bathrooms located down the hall, so if you need to use the bathroom at night you have to get dressed and head through the public areas to the bathroom.
The neighborhood. The location is in the middle of a typical inner city dilapidated neighborhood, including condemned and boarded up houses. Definitely use google street view to check out the surrounding blocks before booking a stay here.

Troy NY

The proprietor is very accommodating but the B and B is located in a neighbourhood which is most depressed - however this is Troy NY and it is a depressed area in spite of the nearby Sage Colleges and RPI. The home itself is inviting though shabby and it needs to be cleaned thoroughly and organized properly. The bathroom had mould in the shower and the sheets and bedding were old and worn out.


Overall, I liked the owner very much but I think she may need more help to run the B and B as it is an old home and as we all know, these need much upkeep. All of this being said as constructive criticism, I would stay there again rather than in a modern faceless motel.

Breakfast was fine and one thing I liked VERY much was the flexibility of the owner on our arrival. Due to weather we arrived very late and all was organized for us to go to our room. Snacks and instructions were left out for guests and this was much appreciated.

Running a B and B is difficult and I hope the proprietor can take time to address the issues of cleanliness and organization.

All being said, if one can take a bit of dust, the stay was a welcome break and as stated, the owner was very welcoming

This B&B is in the middle of the ghetto in Troy NY

We were at first shocked to find that this B&B is in the center of the ghetto in Troy, NY. Secondly the building is not only a dilapidated building but also had tall weeds growing everywhere. We drove by it the first time, went around the block, which was a worse neighborhood, but decided to pull in the parking lot to see if it might be any better. Immediately we had an uneasy feeling in the parking lot and thus my husband and I decided not to stay. I called the number and said we were unable to stay in such a dilapidated building and stressful area. I requested my money back as it was paid up front and said how terribly disappointed I was. A few days later she did return my call and left a message that the fee was nonrefundable.

not ideal...

Well, let be begin by saying that breakfast was nice, directions to the place were clear, and the house is beautiful from the outside.



That said, the ancient window A/C unit blew a circuit in the middle of the night when we tried to turn it on. We stayed in the Oatman Room (two twin beds), and they were both very old, very squeaky, and had really old mattresses. I woke up very stiff and had to take ibuprofen for a few days due to a sore back from the bed.



The whole house was dusty and hot. The dining room and dishes were pretty, but they didn't cancel out the old, dusty decor or the couch with stuffing come out.



Also difficult was the conversation with the host... she complained a lot about the neighborhood (very low-income) and immigration issues in a very rude and disrespectful way. We had booked a room for our last night of vacation, but after our conversation at breakfast, I canceled them.



This place provided a cheap place to stay, but it was not comfortable or enjoyable.

Watch Out !

We didn't stay. The neighborhood was blighted, complete with boarded-up row houses & residences sitting on their front steps watching the passing traffic. The B&B wasn't much better ... no one was present to greet us, the property was dirty, the environment unappealing, & the room shabby. We felt unsafe, so left a note & found other accommodations. Trying to understand how I made such a poor choice I reviewed the description & photos ... the place SURE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE WHAT WAS DEPICTED!!!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay

This was an incredibly charming bed and breakfast. The building is a gem in a somewhat depressed neighborhood. It was wonderful to simply look around inside, especially if one appreciates historical preservation and period architecture. The house is immaculate, as are the rooms. Tina is an incredible hostess - from the wonderful conversation to the fantastic breakfast cooked to order. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Nice B & B close to Albany Amtrak train station.

Looking for hotel or B & B close to Albany Amtrak train station. Visit NYC often and 4 hour drive from Montreal. This way we could take an early morning train and be in NYC earlier. The price and proximity to the train was a selling point. Pictures and rating were also good. Found the area not as nice but once in the house, complete change of atmosphere. Classical music playing in background, instructions, notes etc answering any questions we had (We got there close to the 8 o'clock late arrival so no person greeting that evening). Note with room, bathroom location as well as code for door posted for us in entrance. There was also private parking spots for each guest room quite well indicated.
Homemade breakfast next morning was very good as was owner's hospitality.

Love the place. Is in a scary, bombed out area.

Easy to stay. Parking lot for guests. Wonderful breakfast. Only downside is neighborhood.
