“Great port in a (snow) storm!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

I had a feeling that our drive home after Christmas from NH to Cleveland might be impacted by bad weather, so I made an advance reservation at the Red Roof Inn, Albany Airport. We were traveling with our cat and the fact that there is no up-charge for pets was a big plus.

I hadn't stayed in a RRI for years--and not since the major changes of the past few years had been completed. I was pleasantly surprised to find a very comfortable room with nice bedding, GREAT pillows, a quiet heating/cooling system, free WiFi, and a good selection of TV channels.

The hotel is very conveniently located on Wolf Rd., right off of the interstate. There are lots of eating options nearby so we went for dinner after checking in, returning to the Wolf Road Diner. The food was great and so well priced that we returned the next morning for breakfast.

We make this long trip several times a year and we'll definitely return to this RRI.

Room Tip: We always opt for high floors and away from elevators, vending, etc.

“just what we were looking for”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

A coworker and I had to extend a work trip unexpectedly and on the night before departure we wanted to return the rental car to avoid additional fees. This hotel offered a free shuttle with reliable service...both trips from and back to the airport were less than 20 minutes, wait time included. The rooms were nothing special but provided what we needed. Front desk staff was friendly and attentive. Many restaurants and a mall within 5 minutes from hotel.

“Convenient location, comfortable room, good service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

My former wife and I have stayed at this property several times travelling from VT to NJ. The main reason aside from the reasonable price was no pet fee. Every stay was non-eventful and it was a comfortable overnight stay. Service has always been good. I stayed there overnight on 12/21 and the front desk clerk who checked me in was very friendly and accommodating. Room was comfortable. Also of note (at least to me), Moe's SW Grill and Trader Joe's on the same road so what more could one want?

Room Tip: The front of the hotel faces busy Wolf Rd and the back of the hotel faces 87 so you have to decide w...

“My Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012

I would recommend the Red Roof Inn to anyone who is looking for a nice, clean, and friendly environment to stay at for a low rate. The room was very clean, the staff was very friendly, especially the one front receptionist, Lindsey Noble. I will definitely stay at Red Roof Inn again in the future and when making my travel agents they will be at the top of my list for choices.

“Front Office”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012

From time to time my wife and I stay at the Albany Airport Red Roof Inn. Our most recent stays were November 22 and November 28. In both cases we were served at the front counter by Ms. Arupa Phillips, a very thoughtful and attentive person. We were quite satisfied with her attention to serving us, and were pleased that she was also working when we returned on November 28. Please add our message to her personnel file.

We apologize for the delay in sending this message.

Thank you very much.
