Convenient for overnight
All was good for a quick overnight trip. The only negative was the $14.95 per person breakfast option that didn’t look worth the price.

I was slightly confused with working the tv and wifi, the man at the front desk was very pleasantly helpful.
The hotel has been very nicely redone since we were here last here.

I was so happy with this hotel! It was very clean and comfortable. It’s such a convenient location if you have a student in SUNY ALBANY which is directly across the street. The best part was that I was able to bring my dog! I enjoyed my stay and will be back often!
