Easy to find. No kindess from the receptionnist. Not clean in public corridor. Accommodation was basic. The AC was noisy. We have to ask for two missing towels. Well located, close to Albany's downtone and commercial area. Correct for one night

There were sheer curtains on the window with only narrow side panels which did not close. I was uncomfortable regarding privacy, so I used a clip to hold the side panels together and partially block the view. Also, because the drapes did not close we were awake at first light. Bedding and bathroom were clean.
Smoking room, I had requested nonsmoking. Once I'm settled I don't wanna be bothered switching..it was only 3 nites but next time really prefer nonsmoking.
Hairdryer nonfunctional. Only tried on my checkout day so again, not worth mentioning to staff.
Website said breakfast included. Needs to be updated.
Staff very pleasant, friendly, helpful.

Coming in from out of town; the pictures really sell the place. It was sketchy from go. My husbands phone said “permanently closed”. Drove in to see obvious tenants going from 1 from to the next. Out back where we were to stay was decent and some what hidden. But once we got into the room it was a disaster. Dirty, dingy, odors and worn out and stained furniture. NO place for a small family. After deciding we weren't comfortable staying we left the building to find 2 police cars and an ambulance; parked where we saw the residents. All pointing to get the hell outta here. The gentleman who checked me in was very friendly and understanding. He explained what I needed to do to get refunded and once I was actually able to make contact by chat with Expedia; not an easy feat it turns out, the refund was processed quickly. No complaints with personnel at all!
Thought it was a convenient locations, close to the train station...
Apparently "bed sheets (changed on request)" must also be requested by new guests at check-in: there was a lighter under the mattress pad!!!
Among the other issues:
Wifi did not work in the room;
the door has definitely been kicked in (by the police possibly??);
there was dried-up used bar of soap stuck to the floor of the shower (btw, there was no plastic shower curtain);
one of the doors to the vanity was broken off and stuffed inside, under the sink.
Had to put on A/C to cool off the room (it was 74F) where outside it was -5F.
They say, you get what you pay for... actually here, you get whatever they can get away with! Never again
VERY nice - for the most part; few if any complaints (wasn't clear if large-screen viewing monitor had USB ports - admittedly, DIDN'T examine; that'd definitely be DESIRABLE though.....)
Checked in. Got into the room and it smelled terrible and was unclean. Lifted up one of the mattresses and found so much black particles that we were not even sure what it was. Stayed 5 minutes and left. Dropped off the cards and told them we were not staying.
