Hey, it's an Econolodge! Lady on duty when we arrived in the evening was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are basic and there is not much around the area (Yips Chinese restaurant -- okay and Burger King), but very easy drive into downtown Albany and to the Albany/Rensselaer Amtrak station. Hotel is frequented by a lot of construction service... more

We stayed at the Econo Lodge on a Saturday night on fairly short notice. I felt the price I paid was expensive for what I got, which was a very basic room with basic amenities. The rate may have been high due to the day of the week and given that most hotels in the area were sold out at... more

We stayed here twice so far. This is not a fancy motel, but it is adequate. Their prices are certainly fair. The only problem that we encountered was a problem with checking in and checking out...their computer was giving them all sorts of problems. They finally had to call Choice hotels to get it all taken care of. The staff... more

On the positive side, the room was clean (aside from a mildew-y shower curtain), and everything worked. Bed was quite comfortable (a big plus), and it was convenient to have a microwave, fridge, hair dryer, cable tv, alarm clocks, etc. For the money, we were pleasantly surprised. The linens were hardly top-quality, but they were clean. The breakfast was minimal,... more

very nice, upgraded motel- there are more upscale rooms in a separate back building- these are all no smoking and a quiet area- breakfast is typical but the staff is super- they will remember you, and upgrade you!! more

We've stayed at the Econo lodge twice for Hockey regionals in nearby Albany. The rooms are large and clean. There is a 'fridge' in every room. The management goes to great pains to make sure that your stay is pleasurable. There is an outdoor pool on site but as it is too cold for swimming in april, we haven't tried... more
