Stayed here for 2 days to try a new cheap place to stay for 2 nights . Front desk personal were not personable at all didn’t even say hi he was on the phone the entire time and only word he said to me was “ID”. After working 13 hrs at the hospital I came back with food to find my keycard did not work work the room. So had to go back. The gentlemen this time was atleast friendly and pleasant demenour. Did not get an explanation for why my card stopped working. Along with that the walk to the 2nd floor there was a rolled up carpet just sitting there for the 2 nights i stayed right in the middle of the walk way to the stairs looks like a body is rolled up on it. Not exactly the scene that makes a lady staying by herself makes her feel uncomfortable. Overall I would not be staying here again. It was extremely noisy from cars by the road and garbage or a towing company came at 5am and was screeching. I’ve been staying at days inn which is right off the same exactly busy road and I never hear any cars. On top of the the fabric/installation lining of the door kept having outside of the door everytime it closed. Had to be mindful of it cuz if I didn’t bring that flap in it did not allow the door to close fully. Felt very unsafe and not clean and very noisy the entire time

Motel located in far-out sprawl of Albany. Took a while for us to locate it, particularly since we couldn't get our GPS to work. Locale is not pretty and room is pretty spartan. On the other hand the room was spacious, bed comfortable, and price very reasonable. Good value for money.
