    Pros +

    • Just great! Whisper-quiet AC that worked well, comfortable beds, sparkling clean room, surprisingly good breakfast selections and the cook makes terrific scrambled eggs and bacon. She’s very nice too. Lastly, great coffee 24/7, ground fresh for each cup.
    • Location to my events. Breakfast was pretty good and ladies kept it well stocked. Very clean hotel and comfortable beds.
    • proximty to yankee trails bus depot,near restaurants,stores

    Cons -

    • Nothing. It far exceeded our expectations.
    • Particular to our room: AC didn’t seem to cool the room well, bathroom door was sticky and wouldn’t close easily, only had 3 sets towels even though room sleeps 4. We got another set right away though.
    • mattress was lumpy,couple of electric outlets not working,smoky halls,etc

    So Clean and Neat...the bathroom was spotless and new...pillows and bed a little uncomfortable but suitable for a night.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 4-1-2024

    Staff were polite and helpful. Convenient location. Room was very clean, bathroom seemed updated. Nice breakfast and little gym.

    Only minor complaint was a slightly noisy heating /ac unit, but again, minor nuisance. Slept without it disturbing me.

    4Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-26-2024

    The staff is exceptional ¿¿

    Power went out and there was no generator if I was alone I wouldn't have been that upset but I was with my 4 kids 14,12,7,and 3 so it was a horrible experience

    10ElaynePosted on: 2-3-2024

    The front desk staff, was exceptionally friendly and helpful. She even remembered our names the next day

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 11-26-2023

    Great staff. Clean hotel. They do a great job. We have been there 4 times and will always stay here when visiting our grandchildren.

    5Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 11-10-2022

    The staff was very nice. We had a great view. They had almond milk in the free breakfast area which I really appreciated. The housekeeping staff were really respectable and re-filled everything we used each day.

    The decor was very outdated and common areas were dirty. There was no ventilation fan in the shower which was causing the old wallpaper to peel. The shower water pressure was very low and the water leaked from the faucet. The beds were uncomfortable.

    The staff at this location was incredibly helpful. Thank goodness because the amount of construction going on at the hotel made sleeping quite impossible, which was the whole point of our stay.

    I am happy that the Holiday Inn is taking time to update their rooms. However, I¿d suggest not reserving the rooms directly under your construction zone. Our 1st floor room was directly under a room being renovated. Said renovation started at 6am.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 9-23-2022

    Great Location for my needs, staff was awesome, and very clean. Breakfast help was friendly and very efficient.

    It badly needed updating which they are in the process of completing.

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-27-2022

    The room was clean, large and conveniently located. Surprisingly, our room was very quiet at night, and it was greatly appreciated.

    8DanPosted on: 8-19-2022

    Very clean!

    Exterior rear exit door was blocked open with a rock so anyone could enter anytime.

    6Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-7-2022

    The staff was helpful and pleasant. The included breakfast was above average. The room was clean.

    No refrigerator or microwave in the room. I should have looked at the amenities- they were not listed. The bed was very firm. The pool was not open, until further notice. It¿s summer-fix it.

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 8-4-2022

    Older rooms. Could use renovations. The staff was friendly.No issues.

    8JeremyPosted on: 7-24-2022

    Convenient location with a very friendly and helpful staff.

    No mini fridge in the rooms.

    10LoisPosted on: 7-15-2022

    Great room with a view of downtown Albany. Location was perfect. The staff was very accommodating. The staff,, especially hotel employee was very helpful. Ally did a wonderful job of keeping our room clean and well stocked. Breakfast was very go

    Nope!

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-11-2022

    Views of the city. Great breakfast with wonderful breakfast lady and the bird feeders where you can watch the birds while eating breakfast. Everything was very good at this hotel.

    The pool was out of service and not open. Not near any shops that you could walk to, had to drive to closest restaurants or shopping center.

    8TomPosted on: 4-13-2022

    Two queens and allowed 4 persons. Free parking and less than $20 to Uber to most downtown Albany spots. Plus town of rensaler is quite nice with good delis and diners and big box stores.

    Nice and clean hotel, and very good breakfast Best customer service ever.
