Staff were courteous and friendly. The property was neat and festive for the Holiday season. The first room wasn't clean. Unfortunately, the bathroom was much to be desired. So we changed rooms. However, the 2nd room was clean and tidy. The overall environment was quite and it's close enough to convenient stores and restaurants.

Staff was very friendly. I was concerned initially when I wasn’t able to get anyone on the phone. I wish the message when you call the number from the website would just direct you to the number to get a person or say the phone number on the message. You have to pull up your email confirmation to find a phone number. The room was pretty clean. However there was a bit of dirt and dust on the floors in the corners. Bathrooms could definitely benefit from an upgrade but overall had everything I needed for a night. I had to walk around for a good 10 minutes trying to find the ice machine before finally going to the pub to get some. Bartender was very friendly and quick to help. I love the quaintness and character of the place. So cute. Felt like something in a movie set. Very nostalgic. I loved being able to park directly in front of my room. So convenient! Coffee in my room was good but the creamer was probably over 10 years old. I would have loved to have real cream for coffee in the lobby. Great stay overall. Will be back next time I’m visiting family in Albany. We’d much rather spend money to a local business than a Hilton or Hampton, or big corporation.

Whatever guy they had pick me up to bring me to the motel, I caught him peeking in my window while I was about to get undressed to take a shower. When I ran to the door to confront him he was leaving and saying I’m sorry. But he was smiling like that was ok.

Door to room was damaged. Breakfast consisted of cereal and milk. Cream packets for coffee were old and dried into a flat solid square in its packet. All coffee was awful. Mattress was broken down on one side. Electrical outlets are few and hard to find. Furniture and bathroom facilities are worn and need to be upgraded. Running the AC unit was necessary to mask the sound of a band that played for hours near the front of the property.

This used to be the premier accommodation site in Albany, and retains its 1960's charm. The staff are friendly and the rooms adequate. The only downside is the continental breakfast, which could be a bit more diverse.

Love the old school motel where you park outside your door. It makes moving in and moving out quicker. The floors were nice (not carpet). There were little shampoos and conditioners.
