Great location in downtown Schenectady next to the Procter. The hotel is old, so I was somewhat concerned about the rooms, however I was very pleasantly surprised. We were the first to stay in a nicely renovated room which included a full kitchen and large shower. We were expecting a standard room and were very happy.

7 storey building in the middle of State Street (downtown). Extremely tired and some bits must date back to the early 1900`s when it was built. How people can give this 5* I have no idea. Thankfully they are renovating floor by floor, so choose room carefully. Biggest disappointment for me was there was a huge bar area but no... More

The Good: Showers are nice, good beds, nice rooms, clean, wireless and cable LAN access. It's a very nice conversion of what were once offices, and the building is one of the tallest old buildings in downtown Schenectady with a great view if you are on the upper floors. You have direct access to the famous Proctors Theater which gets... More

If you have to stay overnight in Schenectady, this is not a bad place to do it. Our room was clean, spacious, and totally adequate. The bathroom, however, was AMAZING. It had the most incredible shower I've ever experienced. My traveling companion is still raving about it years later - how he dreams about getting one of his own :-)... More

Just got back from surprising my husband with a weekend getaway for our anniversary at The Parker Inn. We stayed in a newly renovated room with a full kitchen. From the moment we arrived until checkout, we experienced nothing but great service. Drinks at the bar before hitting an 8:00 show at Proctor’s theater, I could not have asked for... More

Have traveled to the Albany area for over 20 years since our daughter attended undergrad and grad school there. Have stayed in many different hotels/B&B's over the course of 20 years, but recently since we travel with our 10 year old CT grandson, we tend to stay at "chains" with a pool. Since this was a Christmas visit with our... More

This hotel may be old, but it does have class and charm. Room was very clean, and quiet. Loved the bathroom - it had a rain shower head! The "continental breakfast" leaves little to be desired. This needs to be worked on! The bed was a little too soft, and my towels, washcloths, and even the bathmat were not replaced... More

I stayed here for business for two nights and my stay was pretty good. Yes it's true the hotel is a little worn but my room was great! I will get this out of the way - my one negative comment is the continental breakfast. The can't seem to get this right. It was a few items in the hotel... More

We were in room 601, a large amount of space. I think it was classified as a mini suite. Being at the front of the hotel, one is subjected to some street noise but that's not unusual for city locations. The bed was comfortable, there was plenty of storage space, we appreciated the refrigerator and microwave and had good TV... More

Was at this hotel in room 701 for two nights this past weekend for my sons wedding. First off for as old as this hotel is, it has some class and some charm. Here are the things that i feel having worked for both Marriott and Holiday inn, that make this close to being a great hotel. I have loads... More
