My mother was sent to stay here by FEMA because she lost her house due to Hurricane Irene. She woke up early morning because she had a bloody nose. She went to front counter to ask for quarters so she could clean sheets and the owner screamed at her and called her names because she woke him up. When I... More

This place has older and newer rooms. I stayed in the older section last year and it was marginal - not clean, noisy, rundown. So this year I asked for a room in the newer section (in the back). It's quieter but quite dirty; the bedspreads haven't been washed in ages, there was a strange red liquid splashed in the... More

This was a budget motel with typical flaws of most older hotels...halls and rooms not thoroughly cleaned,(dust in corners, etc.); stains on hallway carpets; no lock on exterior door to parking lot, minor tears in wallpaper, room coffeemaker had replacement carafe that was the wrong size and wouldn't let the coffee drain from the basket, etc. The breakfast buffet is...

Being near Amtrak is the only reason we stayed here. I was told on the phone that there would be transportaion to the station, as we had a 9:30 train-the only one of the day. At 8:30 we were told by the front desk person that no such offer was made and we were "wasting our time" & we have... More

I stayed here because it was 5 minutes away from the Amtrak station. The room was nice, with a microwave, refrigerator, nice channel lineup, and good internet service. My only complaint was the air freshener smell which seemed to be used to cover up the odor of smoke, but I opened the windows to clear it out. More

I have been leery of the Econo Lodge brand in the past, but this is my 2nd very positive experience. This motel was better than many locations of Red Roof Inn or Holiday Inn Express. My room was a basic room there, but had a microwave, fridge, hair dryer, clock radio, not to mention shampoo which is a disappearing amenity... More

We needed a place to stay for one night after arriving by Amtrak. Didn't want to spend $140 a night, which seemed to be the going rate in Albany. We wanted to tour the NY State Museum before our train left at 4:00 the next day. After reading reviews on tripadvisor, I decided to take a chance on the Econo... More

Hey, it's an Econolodge! Lady on duty when we arrived in the evening was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic and there is not much around the area (Yips Chinese restaurant -- okay and Burger King), but very easy drive into downtown Albany and to the Albany/Rensselaer Amtrak station. Hotel is frequented by a lot of construction service... More
