Complete rip off. Been here almost 3 months including 1.5 months of being a part time here. Corporates site says i get a discount on my stay, but haven't gotten it. Underpaid, overworked, disrespected

Don't stay here please

clean every time, police, fights poor reception people, book online for best rates and they want week rentals. Not recommended. Plenty of other places that are safer.   Hot water and you have to bring a lot of your own things to be comfortable there. 

colonie new york location 

This place looks terrible! We arrived and a police officer pulled in immediately after us and dealt with some dispute between neighbors, and we walked our dog with our kids mind you, and found a bag of heroin in the parking lot. When we emailed to say we did not feel safe staying there with our children they said nope sorry we are charging you anyway, per cancellation policy. Stay away from this place!!!

Terrible place - drugs found in parking lot

5 months after my terrible stay at the albany airport motel 6 management has responded and they tell me they have high standards and will give my review the attention it deserves. lol. I can still see the smug look on the desk clerks desk when she told me" well,it says they offered you a room upstairs and you declined so  .....and shrugged her shoulders. yes they offered a disabled couple an up the stairs aint gonna happen room. non smoking as well. they baited us with a room that was broken,took our money and laughed .

5 months later.

rented room 138 july 2022 with broken air and told them immediately.they kept promising repair was on way. then shift changed 8 hours later and pm scumbag in charge said its not going to b fixed and offered a worse room and laughed in my face when i asked for a refund. im told the room 138 air still has not been fixed. it was rented to me as a smoking room even though it is clearly labled no smoking.so if you want a non smoking room here at the motel 6 albany airport the only one who hasnt smoked in the room is you. lol. big joke huh? yes. on you. broken locks on room 138. filthy dirty walls,door, really everything.

room 138 broken air conditioner july 2022. still broken. bad bad place. very bad people  working there.liars. all ofthem

I was there almost 3 weeks . The weekly price was great and Frontdesk staff helped me for always I need . The rooms are nice and clean with comfy bed definitely stay again.Vanessa the House keeper always make my room nit clean

Nice and clean room with great staff

This was the second worst motel/hotel at which I've ever stayed in the U.S.   The other one, a dilapidated former chain hotel in Casa Grande, AZ, was expectedly torn down many years ago.   

From the outside, the place doesn't seem that bad.   It's located on Central Avenue, in a blue collar suburban area near the airport and very convenient to stores, restaurants and public transit.   The woman who checked me in was friendly but her husband was surly.   Kids were running around and they were cute.   I opened the door to the room and my jaw dropped.   The vinyl (?) floor was very dirty.  The bedding had several holes in the it.   The tub was old and dirty.   The towel rack had been been in hung in two places and broken off in both so it was just sitting on the window sill.   The curtain was dirty and partially hanging off the rod.   Several of the slats on the floor were raised and buckled.   With that one exception, I never saw anything like this in the U.S.A.    There were grungy people sitting in front of their room, smoking weed.   My friend discovered an open door to a room and a man laying on the floor inside.   We yelled to him and he didn't move.  I nudged his leg with my foot and he responded a bit so we figured he was just strung out or drunk.   I never saw anything like that.  I saw a housekeeper with a cigarette in her mouth while she was folding towels and then watched her throw the lit butt out into the parking lot.   

Now, most people would give it a one-dot, and fill the review with exclamation points, embellishments and I'm not like that.   I'm just being honest.   The lady at the front desk was nice.   Her and her husband managed the place and said it was impossible to get good help.  The advanced room rate was really cheap, given it was Labor Day and most of the electrical items, lights, TV, fridge, A/C worked fine.   I would not stay here with kids or a wife/GF, but if I was solo or with friends and the price was right, I might stay again.

It was a Dump.   Very Shady Clientele.   It was Cheap though.   (Please Read.)

Drug addicts hanging out in the parking lot and being let in by hotel staff to do laundry. They aren't even staying at the hotel. Entire hallways smell like cigarettes and weed. Unsafe and unsavory to stay here.

Dangerous and dirty

When we went up to our room it was clear that it was not the non smoking room we had ask for. I tried to call the front desk but the phone was disgusting and inoperable. I went to the front desk and told them the situation, they apologized and said it was all they had left. We just needed a place to sleep after a long day on the road so it wasn’t the biggest of deals. The floors and tables were questionable as far as cleanliness goes, the bed was and the tv wouldn’t connect to cable. Just be sure to take shower in the morning. What did I expect for the price? I guess a heck of a lot better.

What did I expect?

They are worthless than anything.  Check the room over before you accept it and if you forget they take $15.00 to cancel the rest of the week and refund you the rest. Move your things again there are plenty of places to go like public biking areas that are free.  Not many know about it.  In Albany. No one smiles here and they are annoying.  $1600 a month to live here if you get a good room it would be okay.  Waiting forever for customer service.   Insulting. Everything is fixed accept their rooms nicely.  Customer has nothing.
