Pros: Easy parking, easy to locate and get to, clean presentation. Cons: Can be pricey during peak season because there arent many other modern hotels around. The area around is great on the river side, and suspicious a few blocks over.

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.

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!

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.
