I have tried multiple hotels in this range near the airport as an airline employee to use going in and out of ALB early or late when travelling on personal time. There is nothing edible at the breakfast, fake OJ, froot loops, cellophaned doughnuts yuk! I tried it for the breakfast included, not worth it. No shampoo or toiletries in... More

Filthy, falling apart. Water damage in room, repairs to water damage were horrible. Door frame on room falling apart. Filthy carpets, trash behind the bureau. Bed sheets were clean but bed terribly uncomfortable. Only plus, nice flat screen TV and wireless was fine. Water break to plumbing...no water from 6 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. and then no hot water. Toilet...

I don't expect much when staying at a Super8, except a place to sleep at night. Some have been surprisingly good, others could be called Motel Hell. This one falls on the short side. It's not actually in Albany, but far from the city centre in a place called Colonie. The room was average sized and very dated. However, it... More

We were passing thru for the night. 2 adults and 2 teens. It was the cheapest place but more expensive than nicer places we had stayed in. Room stunk, table was broken, bathroom served a purpose but felt dirty, and breakfast was not worth going to. The girl in the office was very nice but the place is run down... More

If you can, skip this hotel. What a rip-off for 73 bucks a night. Rooms are old, stains on the carpet and their breakfast is a joke. Not to mention the 'perminant' residents of this super 8. Full blown drama people, fighting with eachother and I wouldn't be surprised if drugs are part of it too. Best thing to do... More

Some Super 8's are ok. This one is not. Room smelled so bad, I wished I had a pack of Cigarettes to light to get rid of the smell and I'm not a smoker. Avoid this place at all costs. More

This Super 8 seems to be much under rated by some recent reviews, but I heartily disagree with most of their complaints. My experience was met with an exemplary service and my stay cannot be overstated. Every staff member I met was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable and my special appreciation and thanks go to Jarar and Nadeem. These gentlemen went... More

NOT A PLACE TO STAY. A MONTH AGO THEY HAD A STABBING THERE IN ONE OF THE ROOMS. Half of the bed when you laid down on it was on the floor and other half was off the bed frame. Toilet ran all the time and wouldn't flush. Air conditioner made noises all the time. Very noisey all day and... More

I have stayed in dozens of Super 8 motels. I generally find that they are clean and safe, but this is an exception. This is an old style, dilapidated motor inn. It features chipping paint, sagging beds and stained carpet. Super 8 needs to remove it's name from this type of property or it's reputation will suffer. Stay away. More
