Super 8 Albany

It’s a place that works in a pinch and seems worth the price. The bed was very clean, though I suspect the comforter wasn’t. The bathroom was only just clean enough, with hairs on the wall and dirt behind the toilet. The room smelled of dust and old paint, and there were hardly any outlets for charging things. I wouldn’t call it the worst place I’ve stayed.

The service was poor, and the whole place felt shady. We started in room 249, where the walls were filthy, the bathroom was covered in dirt, the floor was sticky, and one bed had dirty sheets. The room gave me the impression of a motel where people bring prostitutes to have sex. We switched rooms, but the second one was much the same apart from the beds. I wish I had something good to say, but I wouldn’t send even my worst enemy there.

The employees were pleasant and friendly, and I liked that pets were allowed. The location worked well and the price was just right. The bathroom was clean, but the room itself wasn’t the cleanest, and the carpet had stains. The tub didn’t work, so only the shower was usable.

We left as soon as we could. The room was smelly, the walls were thin, and the door had to be shoved to close. Wallpaper was peeling, tiles were missing, and the toilet wouldn’t flush. We booked online, but the motel looked nothing like its photos or reviews. After we checked in, the front desk staff wouldn’t let us leave with a refund, so we called Expedia to dispute it. We spent about 45 minutes in the room dealing with the rental and Expedia, and not a minute longer than necessary. It felt like somewhere you’d stay only if you had no other option. The dirtiness made my skin crawl. Don’t stay here.
