Got exactly what I expected

I booked the Albany Plaza for 2 nights because it was cheap and available for a last minute holiday weekend trip. I expected a low budget experience and they delivered. It started with no cups in the room. I went to the front desk to ask about that and was promptly given some smallish cups out of a sleeve. Obviously they were expecting the question and weren't spending the extra bucks for individually wrapped cups. The next surprise was housekeeping not touching our room after the first night. The didn't need much, but it just didn't happen. So if you are ok with truly budget service don't fear this place. -cth

Good location the gentleman running the breakfast buffet is a real asset to the company. I am very nice unfriendly man. The front desk was good. Places kind of old it seemed a little bit rundown. For me it was OK for one night nice clean towels. The room I have I think it was 804 definitely needs to be remodeled. It seems like it should be like a 50 or $60 a night, place. My stay was OK.

Incompetence and Ineptitude A Plenty

I never got to take a room 'cuz of a snafu between yoU and the hotel. Ridiculous for you and them to quibble so much as neither of you helped youRRR customer, i.e., Yours Truly. In fact, I put the blame squarely on you are you made certain assumptions that obviously were wrong, and you failed miserably in your responsibilities to me! So, I only can give an Average rating since I never set foot into any room. Disgusting, having to nap in my car for part of the night before just moving onto my destination for the day extra early. Totally ridiculous something like this could happen in Year 2025. You oughta be ashamed of yourselves!!

Bad bed

Bed felt like sleeping on a box of course sand covered by a sheet. If that sounds comfortable to you, then you might be able to overlook a few other things. Grungy looking area, sketchy looking people hanging around the premises at night. Breakfast was ok though and desk people were courteous. Probably will stay elsewhere next time, bed alone was enough of a turn off for me.

The building is very old and requires many repairs and updates. The age made cleaning difficult. For example, the hall and bedroom carpets were dirty and stained. Sheets and towels were clean. The staff was helpful. The free breakfast was excellent.
