Nice property, really close to Rensselaer. Bunch of one way streets, keep an eye out. Worried there wasn’t enough parking but they had an excess lot so worked out good. Place is really nice

This property is greatly overpriced for what you get. The room smelled like mildew and there were ants in the bathroom. There was some decent dining in the area, walking distance, which was nice. Room did not have pillows for the pull out couch. I got the last available pillow in the hotel. Incredible water pressure but a tub spout in a shower unit which made no sense and sprayed water everywhere (which I believe caused the mildew smell with wet tiles overhead and rotting trim around the door). Much better options in the area for much less money.

Thank you for being a guest and for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are saddened to hear that your recent stay at our property was not entirely to your satisfaction. This is in no way indicative of our level of service and operation. Your comments and feedback will be passed on to our General Manager and will be used as a training medium in strengthening our level of service. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

Clean, friendly staff. Very walkable around Troy. A good stay. My only complaint is that I couldn't find lowfat milk for my cereal. Overall a good stay.
