Good hotel, comfortable, inexpensive, and good quality. Cleanliness is good. Breakfast is bland and generic. Overall exactly what I would expect for a budget hotel. Parking lot is a bit confusing to get into. Troy is a mixed bag of decent walkable areas and some sketchy areas.

We arrived 5 hours later than expected, so I called the hotel beforehand to let them know we’d be late. There were no problems arriving late. They suggested a restaurant that would deliver food that late. It was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Clean rooms.

This property is great and centrally located. It is within walking distance to many restaurants, pubs and shopping. I asked not to be near a wedding party or animals and they gave us a room out of the way. I had a bad experience with this in the past but they heeded my request and it was awesome!

Troy - A hidden gem

Loved the city of Troy. First overnight there. Great BBQ place right next door on the Hudson River. AMAZING farmers market filled numerous city blocks on Saturday. Will be back!
