Staff is always pleasant and efficient. Room is dated but clean. Property could use more outdoor lighting. Convenient off of highway. Great price. Dining options within 10 minutes.
The staff was more than helpful and accommodating. I appreciate the professionals and for me and my kids.

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.
Very dated hotel, been around for a long time. My 1st visit, it was okay. Room was clean, bed comfy, nice hot water but not a lot of pressure. Most hotels l stay at have some kind of breakfast, this had nothing. But overall, I’m happy with my visit .
These rooms are very inexpensive. If you on a budget then they are good. The AC worked good. The bed was cleaned. But it had a little smoke smell. I dont know next time I pay 30 more and upgrade..
Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The property is very aged with obvious repairs needing to be done.
Our room was clean, with the exception of a very dusty vent behind the bathroom door - not a big deal.
There was a large grassy area outside to walk our dog, but no trash can to put the poopie bag.
This place was dirty. There were clumps of actual mud on the floor. I wiped down the doors and the counters and my Clorox wipe was brown. The guy who checked us in was nice.
Most of the other guests seemed to be living there. There was no shampoo and conditioner.
This was on the low end of adequate.

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.
Great location. Someone had a barking dog in the room next to mine I was upset but hey people be peopling. Stains in the bathtub is why they get 4 stars. It was cleaned just need to be replaced cause of stains.
