This hotel was recommended by Orbitz which are affiliated with Amtrak. I was told by Orbitz it was a 3.5 out of 5. My husband was picking me up at the train station, but got caught in traffice in New York. The amtrak attendant did not really know where this hotel was, so I started up the long hill on... More

That was the question I received on my cellphone from friends who arrived before we did.... The outside was absolutely horrible. Chipped paint, broken windows taped with duct tape and a lady of the evening standing right outside. THe area is aweful. There was an altercation a few doors down that required the police to respond. I was fearful for... More

The hotel is located in an area I wouldn’t recommend to anybody for a business trip. Although the reception area inside looks clean, the first thing you notice is the foul-stinking smell coming from the side area. I made a reservation to stay to the hotel and the smell triggered my asthma attack, which is why I cancelled to go... More

No toilet paper or tissues. Broken step on the stairs almost twisted my ankle. Not super clean, but, OK. Had concerns about safety for... More

This hotel gives you very good value for your money. In spite of being inexpensive, it is very clean and comfortable. I also like it for the fact that it is conveniently close to downtown Schenectady and the train station. It is a very short walk from this place to both downtown and the train (Amtrak) station. Last, but not... More

True the hotel is in a rundown area, but then, unfortunately, so is much of Schenectady. It is right around the corner from the Holiday Inn and the Days Inn, and within walking distance of the downtown and some restaurants. Easy to get to from the highway. Like many Econolodges, it is old but clean. The front desk personnel were... More

My first stay at this hotel was over 5 years ago. At one point, it did get unbearable. When the new owners took over, they made improvements to the attitude twards the guests', the rooms and the grounds of the hotel. Over the last 4 years, I have watched the family who owns and lives at the hotel work very... More

This is the worse hotel I've ever tried. I got there and it was very dirty,old and the neighborhood was very bad. I was very afraid my car and room will be broken into, so I told the the lady at the front desk that I would like to cancel the reservation and move to another hotel. She refused, lied... More
