Belvedere Inn

Difficult to get to by bike. Felt unsafe on roads when biking.

Nothing.

It was old, and dirty. The carpets were gross and smelled like mold. I have mold allergies and was unable to stay in this room more than 15 minutes before I felt like I couldn't breathe. I paid for 2 nights in advance. I told the front desk person that I could not stay due to mold allergies. She simply shrugged her shoulders and denied my request for a full refund. She said "It is after 3pm so you can't get a refund". Of course I couldn't check in until 3pm in the first place. She refunded my second night, but refused to refund the first. Again, spent 15 minutes in the room and paid for a full night. Booking.com was also not helpful.

It was a perfectly nice place to stay. Nothing fancy, but clean and quiet.

Location was excellent for the purpose of our trip. Large, clean suite. Older furniture was somewhat cheap. The bed was very good also. Left a tab on door for maid service when needed. No service and was told those sign dust mean anything. Then why have the door tag?? Service when initiated was excellent. Checking in and out was excellent. Hotel was hosting several homeless individuals as well as families. One woman had 6 children with her. Lots of children’s voices and crying during day hours!

Very nice atmosphere and staff. Very clean. Need to update carpet Very nice continental breakfast.

Avergae

The Inn is in need of updating. The breakfast buffet was disappointing. Not sure if that was because we were there mid-week. No waffle mix available. Very limited pastries or bagels. One morning that we slept in a little, there only bagels. They did have bananas, yogurt and cereal. However, it was perfect place to spent the before and after visiting Howe's Cavern and Rivers Casino.

I have traveled extensively and only choose 8.0 or above rated hotels, and I cannot figure out how this one made it to that category. Musty rooms, dingy furniture, tired looking lobby, this may have been a boutique hotel at one time, but its prime is long gone. The pictures on the website are obviously dated. Description says housekeeping daily, but we never had service the four days we were there. Bathrooms were dirty, tub, shower curtain, and spider webs. (see pictures) Breakfast was minimal. Waffle maker was broken three out of the four days we were there. The other two days they were empty at 8:30 with no refills. The staff did come out and clean it and close it down. The other offerings were yogurt, two types of cereals, bananas and apples on two days, and bagels, with very little put out and most gone by 8:30, Staff told me that the only thing they were required to refill were the bagels. The only bagels left on one day at 8:30 were onion flavor. I was told there were pastries earlier, but she was not refilling them. We knew that it was continental and didn't expect much, but we did expect what they offered from 7 - 10, to not be finished by 8:30 with no refills. When at the desk, you had to speak first, because they were often unaware you were standing there because they were on their phones. Truly a disappointment, because we loved our visits to the places we visited in Schenectady.

Old and out dated hotel.

very nice and clean
