Stayed there one night - and that was too many. Was not cheap - and now it has cost me even more because I got scabies from this hotel. I am now spending another $70 on treatments. I think the older gentleman (who was quite rude) gave us the absolutely worst room. Definitely no renovation to this room in at... more

Me and a friend stayed at this hotel as a stop-over on the way to NYC. The proximity to the highway and the price made it an easy choice. The beds were hard as a rock and we had to drag our luggage up to the second floor by the stairs and this was NOT a motel. Upon being told... more

The entire place smelled of cigarette smoke, so forget a non-smoking room. It was so bad that the unworn clothes that never left my suitcase smelled of cigarette smoke even after I got home. Sorry excuse for a continental breakfast. No wireless in my room. The desk staff was nice enough, but one lady in particular was as incompetent as... more

My Review is long overdue. We stayed in this Econolodge tucked away behind a few other business @ 44 Wolf Road, Albany. We stayed overnite on Sat. 4-17-09 and left on Sunday. We used our Gps to get us there - we were coming from Oswego to go to a concert. We arrived at 3:45 and were given our room--i... more

Stayed here mid-week at a low $53 rate. I was concerned because of the history of this property. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. My room looked like it was renovated. It had nice carpeting, a good mattress, and comfortable pillow. My wife would have been happy with the bathroom. It wasn't the typical dumpy bathroom you normally expect at this... more

My husband and I stayed at this house for our "annual trip" to the track at Saratoga. The last morning, my husband slipped getting into the shower as there were no anti-slip stips or anything to deter someone from slipping. It turned out that he had broken a toe, but neither the desk clerk not the manager offered any assistance... more

I didn't use tripadvisor before I booked this hotel - well it was just going to be an overnight stop on the way back to JFK from the Adirondacks - and it's just as well or I wouldn't be able to give what I consider to be a honest review. We paid $92 (£50) inc. taxes for a room with... more

I think people are being a little unfair about the EconoLodge in Albany. After reading reviews on here I was afraid I was going to a dirty crackhouse in a bad part of town! I gave it a "4" because I'm rating it based on the price. Unlike some reviewers on here, I'm not expecting the Ritz for $65 a... more

Booked this hotel through a major organization, thinking that this is a clean, inexpensive place for a 1 night's sleep on our way to the Jersey shore. The first bad sign was the smell in the hall. It was a mix of smoke, mustiness and air freshener all mixed into one. The first room we got had a few glass... more
