Super 8 by Wyndham Schenectady/Albany Area

Checked into the room, and it smelled like sewer. The toilet was full of poop and it would not flush. Changed rooms and that room had ants in the bathroom. There was a mouse in the eating area as I was checking in.

This property was extremely dirty. My room was filthy, from the walls to the carpet, the tub and the countertops. Checked out early. The worst place I have ever been.

Needs work. Rooms so small

If you're a flesh-eating zombie, then you will love this hotel. If you're a living, breathing human being, then you will not. We walked into our room after midnight check-in to find that the power had been shut off in our room. Meaning that after 90 degree temperatures all day, the room had no air conditioning whatsoever. A call to the front desk provided no recourse, as the attendant who had literally just checked us in said that he had no information on as to why the air conditioning had been shut off in an un-occupied room. Clearly this was a cost saving measure, having seen the rest of the facility. We also requested an additional pillow. Even just one. Considering that we were two (2) guests sharing a Queen-sized bed, which was equipped with three (3) Twin-sized pillows. The attendant informed me that they could not provide any additional pillows, because; (a) the hotel was completely booked, with no vacancies, which apparently means that every possible pillow is in-use, and (b) guests tend to steal pillows from this hotel. With their kind of guests, we are certainly not surprised. The bathroom was equipped with: an over-head heat lamp, three (3) out of four (4) vanity lights in-tact, a sink that was clearly sat on at one point and breaking off of the wall from the weight, just enough bath towels for one (1) guest, and enough strange hairs to make a paintbrush. To top it all off, there were always these small flies or fleas or gnats that would come up out of the sink.

Not much of a breakfast and they wouldn't even allow us to bring a coffee to our room. None of the doors seem to close correctly, there is no feeling of being safe with warped ill fitting doors.

I would give this property a 5 except for 2 minor things. 1. Breakfast was minimal and ended at 9 am 2.Our toilet didn't flush easily. I would stay here again. I especially liked a water dispenser in the lobby.

This place would be fine if it were cheaper, but for ~$100 a night, it is in poor condition. We didn't get off to a good start because my clerk said my room number aloud while two strangers were behind me while I was a woman traveling alone. Not cool. Once in the room, everything is dingy and shabby. Two walls in my room had several empty self-adhesive hooks from a few different makers -- not in a neat line or anything that looked functional, but just haphazardly thrown up there. I had no hangers. (I needed two.) The minifridge was on a shelf above the closet and inaccessible to anyone under 6 feet tall (shown) The bed pillows were small square inserts like for throw pillows, but in normal bed-sized pillow cases. None of them had enough heft to sleep on, so I spent hours tossing and turning, trying to get them to stay stacked high enough to lift my head an iota above the mattress, resulting in a terrible night's sleep. I could understand why this place sucked if it was half the price. It is not worth what you pay.

The room we were given upon checking in had burn holes in the blanket. When we informed the front desk, they reassigned us to a room across the hall. The carpet was FILTHY, the room had a musky smell, & there were wasp-like bugs crawling on the carpet. We checked out and asked for a refund. Would not recommend at all.

The only reason this place is getting 2 stars is because the desk clerk was very nice and accommodated us with a room change last minute. Otherwise the place is dumpy. It was clean, but the cleaning staff looked like they wanted to be anywhere else but there. There was food left in the fridge from the last people there. Pillows and bedding were lackluster. I had to go to Walmart to buy pillows if I wanted to sleep. Their free “breakfast “ is a joke. Only stay here if you need a somewhat clean place to stay for the night in between trips like we did.
