Perfect stay at Albany

My first time visiting Albany, it was for business, and all I need is clean quiet place to sleep. Yes, the hotel was not the little old building, which I could pick some aged detail, I could nick pick here and there such as cracked paint spots here and there. But overall, very clean and quiet. very nice hotel, I do not need anything luxury to sleep peacefully. Bathroom was very clean and nice, so does all towel and sheets. I was surprised they also have nice free breakfast. For the price, this is the best hotel in Albany.

This Ramada is a disgrace to the Ramada name brand. Internet is terrible, no blanket or comforter on bed just 2 sheets. Phone and TV in the room not working. They left previously used toiletries in the bathroom. The room was so dirty and the furnitures rusty. Them people had the nerves to tell me that the bed did not have no blanket when I checked out knowing that they didn’t have any in there. The towels are so small you can even wrap yourself in them. Housekeeping is only on demand. To get new towels you have to return the dirty ones and when you do they only give you one. No trash bag for the trash can. The elevators had a horrible smell like something had died in there, they tried to spray it makes it even worse. Apparently when you check out you have to wait for them to check the room for so call missing items which they don’t even have in the room when you check in. Overall this place is a mess, they need to shut it down or pass it to someone who can renovate it and bring it up to par!!! I would not recommend anyone to stay there.

This was easily one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Albany is in a shocking state of disrepair, and I regret not reading more reviews before booking. Let’s start with breakfast — if you can even call it that. A prison meal would be an upgrade. Stale bread, watery juice, and rubbery eggs that looked like they’d been sitting out since the night before. Honestly, they’d be better off not offering breakfast at all. It’s almost insulting. The room was no better. The door didn’t even lock properly, which is a major safety issue. I didn’t feel secure for a single minute. On top of that, the TV was tiny and ancient, like something from the early 2000s, and barely worked. The internet was completely useless on the 6th floor — zero signal, no matter how many times I tried reconnecting. Add in musty smells, stained carpets, and unhelpful staff, and this place feels like it’s been forgotten by the Wyndham brand. I don’t know how it’s still in business. Save yourself the headache and spend your money somewhere else.

Paint smears and drips on bathroom molding, toilet seat, ductwork needs cleaning. Two hangers in closet, not enough, shelves, and guard bars in refrigerator missing. Needs to be defrosted. interior of window needs to be cleaned, probably hasn’t been cleaned in at least a year. Overall needs to be repainted in minor repairs.

Hotel bath room need renovation

The front desk lady is friendly and helpful. The room is clean, but the property is old with leaking tap in the shower with limited water flow, the shower tub should be replaced as when I step in the bath tub, I feel the bottom of it is floating on the water, i.e. it moves. The blanket on the bed is too thin and we have to raise the room temperature to 77F to be able to sleep. The door lock is hard to open with the assigned card and I have to ask the front desk lady to help us to open the door several times. The breakfast is fine with on onsite service person to distribute the food to avoid waste.

The hotel looked run-down. The staff was friendly, but it wasn't clean. We found a dead roach on the wall and a bug crawling on the bed. I had reserved two rooms (139 and 140), and in one of the rooms we could not take a shower cause the mat was dirty. I was disappointed. But it was only for one night.

It’s definitely not up to the Ramada Inn reputation. Moldy order in room and hall carpet, no shower curtain in bathroom, furniture was very old and ill maintained, breakfast food was terrible… much of it badly cooked and un-eatable. Very disappointing stay unfortunately. Would not recommend it to anyone.

Disgusting false online advertising claiming

I checked in today and walked out there were none of the amenities offered online and the place looked like trash the room smelled and I immediately went to the lobby to ask for a refund and was told to call your number and I was hung up on 3 times I called Expedia and the same response I would get hung up o. So now I’m going to report this to The Better Business Bureau and I am creating a Boog for this false advertising and not being able to get a refund!!

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my entire life. There was visible mold in the bathroom which clearly had only been cursorily cleaned, if at all. The hairdryer plug was cracked and broken on one corner so that if you grabbed it, you’d get an electric shock. The tissue box in the wall was missing and the metal case it normally sits in had sharp edges that I almost cut my hand when reaching for the light switch. Every single surface in this hotel was gross and sticky. The furniture is 50-60 years old & in bad condition. The room itself smelled of cigarette smoke & mildew. The rug was so gross I kept my socks. The bed and pillows were so soft and lumpy that I could not fall asleep. The front desk would not change a $20 bill so I could use in the vending machine and told me “ this is a cashless hotel.” There were no cups in the room & when I asked for one at the front desk, the desk clerk took out a stack of Styrofoam open unwrapped coffee cups, stuck her finger inside two or three of them to pull them off the stack & offered them to me (I prefer cups that packaged in plastic and which the clerk hasn’t stuck her dirty fingers into. The whole hotel was seedy, disgusting and unsafe. I will be contacting Expedia tomorrow to demand a refund. This Ramada, is a franchise and not owned by the Ramada chain. It should not be offered to Expedia members again.

I should have looked at more reviews and not just the price... It's very run down, the faucet in the shower has a constant drip, as does the sink. Found a very dirty sock when looking for a workable outlet to plug in my phone charger, gunk on table surface, on mirror, dusty, just generally not clean. Sheets seem ok, but wifi is questionable, stains of carpet and walls and ceiling. Furniture is very... Um. Let's say pulled from resale and garage sale. I found one outlet to plug in my phone in my phone and it wasn't convenient to the bed. One lamp worked. Dim lighting hides a lot. Smelled like cigarettes. At least the AC works.

Deplorable, disgusting Hotel should be condemned.

The was the most deplorable disgusting hotel I have EVER experienced in LIFE! Live bed bugs, dirty unsanitary bathroom, filthy general area. Holes in the walls Unimaginable how they could even advertise rooms. My family and I left immediately! When we arrived to the lobby to complain Reema the front desk staff was rude and nasty. She said she was the only one there and there was no one do contact. Offering another room would not have been helpful because there were too young ladies in the lobby upset because they had been bitten with bed bugs! I’m unable to upload the actual picture of the bed bug CRAWLING across the bed.

Nothing like the pictures. Checked in and went up to our room. It was filthy, lampshades missing, the bathroom was gross with smears of toothpaste on the walls. The smoke detector was also beeping every min indicating the batteries needed to be changed. We went to the front desk and asked if someone could replace the smoke detector battery so i didnt have to listen to it beep all night long. The woman at the desk said there was nobody to change batteries. She pointed at my boyfriend and said hes tall just remove the batteries. I also asked for an extra pillow since there was only 2 for our king sized bed and was told they dont give out extra pillows. We got back to the room and my boyfriend removed the smoke detector batteries and realized it was an expired smoke detector from 2006...not very safe especially in a large hotel not sure who to report it to but will contact the fire marshall for guidance.

I didn’t have any issues, but this is not the kind of hotel you expect from a Ramada. It needs a major facelift, from the rusty signs, potholes in the parking lot, tattered flags, chipped and worn furniture, etc. Looks like it was probably really nice at one time, but that time was probably 1987.
