Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Albany Airport

8/10 Good

"Small rooms. Cleaning of rooms MWF. No towel replacement. There 2 men in the parking lot tailgating with loud music and drinking. I would stay again but with 2 beds."

Gideon Putnam Resort And Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is an amazing venue. However it is quite old and I'm sure requires constant maintenance. If your looking for modern chic, this is not for you! If you appreciate Old World charm, and are willing to look past some flaws this is a lovely place. The setting is wonderful. Beautiful walking or jogging paths throughout Saratoga State Park are right there at your doorstep. A great Golf Course is directly adjacent to the property, Also the large Victoria Pool is located directly behind the hotel. While your hotel stay gives you free access to the Pool, remember this is a public park(and pool). If I could make one suggestion to modernize, I would suggest removing the tubs in the bathrooms and replace them with walk in showers! For an establishment that draws so many seniors, this seems no no brainer !!!"

Travelodge Inn & Suites by Wyndham Albany

8/10 Good

"Staff were outstanding and responded promptly to all of my requests. They were also warm and welcoming, even inviting me to participate in their informal chat times. The property is clean and close to a substantial shopping center and many restaurants. There were, however, several minor repairs that had been neglected in my room including a missing toilet paper roller and a room door which required considerable effort to close, but nothing that was a deal breaker. This is a low budget hotel which features fixtures and amenities that are simple and unglamorous, but which function adequately, by and large. I would not stay here for over one or two nights, but it met my needs for an affordable overnight stay that was near the airport."

The Hotel Saratoga, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is a very nice hotel only a mile from the Saratoga Springs downtown. Included are useful amenities such as shuttle bus service to all local points of interest including the downtown and racetrack, a complementary breakfast with a very good selection, an outdoor pool, and a pleasant lobby/reception area. The rooms are clean and well maintained with just one shortcoming. While the bathrooms are clean and modern, the shower enclosures could use some attention. Judging by the 2 rooms booked by myself and our friends, the enclosures had some discoloration from water stains along the joints in the walls; nothing horrible but visually unappealing. Aside from that one issue, the hotel is very nice and I would reserve a room there for a future visit."
