Placed in the heart of downtown Troy! Close to unique shops, great coffee shops, lots of dining options and the very best Saturday Farmers Market. Staff is always friendly, and they do a great complimentary breakfast.

AWESOME dining options!
Jaull, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Calvin, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It was very basic. Nothing fancy. Breakfast was nice. Friendly staff.
Rachael, 1-night trip

No thanks
Joann, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The hotel was clean and inviting from the moment we stepped inside. We were greeted kindly by the front desk staff and found our room was clean as was the bathroom. The breakfast was good as well. I would easily stay here again.
Troy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great place to stay if you are visiting RPI.
Tina, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Friendly staff, clean room. Took a star away for no in-room coffee maker, noisy HVAC, no usb ports (and only one outlet by the beds).
Audrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was lovely. Couldn’t give it 5 stars due to cleanliness. My room smelled of stale cigarette smoke. I asked about changing rooms and was told they were all sold out. Otherwise things were good. I didn’t partake, but the daily breakfast seemed popular among the guests with the lobby eating area full of guests each morning.
Minta, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
john, 1-night trip

Excellent place to stay for buisness or leisure
Katherine, 1-night trip

1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
