Guest Reviews

• Julia (8/5): - There was a problem with the AC being noisey and got it quiet but didn't work properly
• David (6/5): A place to lay your head - Last minute stay for baseball tournament. Room served purpose of a place to sleep. Bathroom faucet leaked, discovered moldy ac vent in middle of the night, as room was not cooling off
• C. J. (8/5): Great except for loud AC - Room at Scottish Inns in Albany, NY was great except for the very loud AC when it came on.
• Melissa (2/5): - The ropm was absolutely filthy. The walls had old drips from something that they never cleaned. The shower was so slippery that we had to stand on a towel to avoid falling. Cobwebs in every corner. There were no blankets, just a thin dirty bedspread. w was never
• Sandro (10/5): - Straight forward motel very clean and good rates . I ended up there because all other hotels in Albany were sold out but am considering using them now for business trips and save a lot of money ,
• Verified traveler (8/5): - There was a dead mouse in the toilet when we went into the bathroom after unloading our things. Syrup under the glass top on the night stand. Rug was dirty and stained. Bed was ok.
• Jean (6/5): - Ok for sleeping, nothing special.
• Daniel (8/5): - Conveniently located
• Shaquawn (8/5): - Stayed in a smoking room this time, it wasn't bad; a few cigarette holes in the top blanket on the bed(kinda expected something like this before I got there). Apart from that the room and carpet overall were clean. Room had a microwave and mini fridge just like the non smoking room I stayed in the last time. Opted for a double bed or over a king sized bed room, I enjoyed it. Planning a longer trip next time, this will be the 3rd trip I spent there, I enjoy coming to this hotel.
• Shaquawn (8/5): - Nice, Quiet, Affordable. Located near Sears shopping mall and Target with some other stores to see. Mini fridge and microwave were nice as was the cable tv. Furniture in the room I was in had some stains but nothing to bad or terrible. Bed and bed sheets were clean and comfortable. Carpet felt slightly odd to walk on in socks or barefoot(use slippers if you have them), carpet was not dirty tho. I would definitely recommend and I already booked another stay. 7.5 or 8/10, honestly a pleasant little hotel.
• Frank (8/5): - It was fine for my purposes.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great
• Verified traveler (8/5): Decent - It was good for my short stay in NY
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good Value - Room very clean. Deadbolt works. I did not try TV. Staff friendly to me. I have stayed at a lot of hotels and Scottish Inn is a good value for the price range, which is low for the Colonie Mall/Target area, Albany, NY. Close to major bus stop for getting around rest of city, and airport-train-bus stations within an hour.
• Anne (4/5): Get what you pay for. - The place was so dirty, I don’t think it has been cleaned in months.
• Reut (2/5): A MOTEL, NOT A HOTEL! - The place was nothing like described, it is basically a cheap road MOTEL and not a hotel. The room had a horrible smell, a combination of cigarettes and a strong spray trying to cover that. The shower was broken, the reception did sent someone to fix it but there wasn't a proper solution besides trying to open it again and hope it will work. The room was filthy, the carpet was full of dirt and the sheets on the bed were not clean. There were no blankets on the bed (only a sheet) and the guy in the reception argued with us over the phone when we asked for 2 blankets (we were two people who are not a couple so sharing a blanket was not really an option. The atmosphere itself was not welcoming and a bit scary. We ended up leaving for another hotel after only 30 min there. Highly not recommended!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good for a couple nights - It was okay. Quiet and comfortable…
• david (8/5): - Very clean hotel, nice room that was very comfortable
• Verified traveler (6/5): It’s OK - Pros: it’s overall clean, AC works well, and water was hot. Cons: AC is the old under the window unit with heat, and was very loud. As others mentioned, place was overall clean except for a nasty stain on the carpeting. Verdict: Unless you need a smoking room, spend the extra $30 to stay somewhere newer/nicer.
• shyanne (10/5): - Nice for a stay
• Jose (8/5): Affordable and perfect place - Great and relax stay. This motel is well located, surrounding by many restaurants and stores. The parking space is big and well illuminated at night . The room has the basic amenities. Flat screen TV with usb and HMDI connections. WiFi was strong and reliable all times. If you are a light sleeper ask for a room upstairs. They gave me a room in the street level and in the morning the people upstairs was driving me crazy. The manager and the front desk lady well very nice and profesional.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Well furnished Cons .. no announced Wi Fi Forced to sleep in smoking room But ...was just lucky
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Where do I start? There were cigarettes burns all over the bathroom(we choose non-smoking). The bathroom looked like it wasnt cleaned in weeks. Our heater/air didnt work. The gentalman at check in and out was rude. No breakfast ad stated in ad. NEVER AGAIN
• Verified traveler (6/5): THEY need to upgrade - THE t.v. wasn't working ... AND THE HEAT wasn't working....there wasn't ANY fitted sheets ON THE BED
• Mark (2/5): DIRTY, SOILED CARPETS, TATERED DRAPES, NOISY. - This was a good motel --- in 1967. Now the carpet is highly soiled, and I had to ask help to vacuum the filthy place. Additionally, public charges in custody of Albany criminal justice system are staying here. I was awakened at 2 a.m. and kept awake until 6:30 a.m. by psyzophrenic occupant of room above me. I am suing Hospitality Inns, opertors of this hotel.
• Karen (6/5): - Facility needs upgrading. Bad smell. Bed not comfortable. No tissues. No hair conditioner. Location was very convenient. Check in was quick. Price was good.
• Brittny (8/5): - The only major complaint would be that the outside light was right outside our window and it was very bright in our room because of that. Even with the curtains pulled closed it was still very bright. Some black out curtains would be great to help with this matter.
• Esther (8/5): Quick stay - We came in very late from the airport. They allowed us to have an extra hour in the morning and were helpful in directing us to public transportation. There was a Dunkin Donut near by. Please stay.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The check in was quick and pleasant. The room and everything was very nice and clean. The mattress itself was too firm for my tastes. Unfortunately I did not get to stay on both nights because of an emergency situation nearby on the second night.
• Gerald (2/5): - heater broke,walls and ceiling dirty.chairs broken.
• Michelle (4/5): Seriously? - After using the restroom to pee the toilet backed up with somebody else's mess within 5 minutes of us checking in. I called the front desk and someone did respond quickly (it was after 11) but when he came in plunger in hand asked if I was going to plunge the toilet! Then left all the nasty water over toilet and floor. Thank goodness I always carry clorox wipes with me. The shower had no water pressure, the bed was like a rock. Front desk staff less than thrilled you were there.
• Vengat (2/5): - Room was dirty and not good. Won't recommend to any one even for one night stay.
• Tracey (2/5): - I booked a 2 queen size one room, yet received a one bed room with a king size bed and told me that it was the only room they had even though I had reserved it hours in advance.
• Verified traveler (2/5): $19 a night is too much - The room was dirty. the people who clean left a 5 inch ring around the room of dust. When I took a shower in the morning there was a 2 inch silverfish insect running around the tub. pretty gross. The walls were patched, unsanded and then painted with many layers. all in all I will never stay here again at any price.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Not what was expected cheap hotel, allowed us to recharge batteries after long drive
• Gloria (2/5): DISGUSTING, DIRTY, THE SMELL OF CIGARETTE WAS BAD! - SEE ABOVE SEE ABOVE
• Custom Casework (10/5): Awesome Deal - We travel for work and just need a decent place to stay at night. The room has A/C, Cable tv, refridgerator, microwave and a clean bathroom. We will definitely stay here again.
• Anonymous (4/5): Beware the shower - It was simple, as I expected for the price. The only thing that was really not acceptable was the shower, which has the habit of changing temperature spontaneously and unpredictably.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Yuck - The toilet ran all night and we couldn't have the ac on because it was so loud
• Martha (6/5): Affordable comfort - We stayed one night while attending a concert in the area. It was clean, quiet and affordable. The AC works very well, and the shower was great.
• PAMELA (2/5): gross - Did notstay. Smelled like mold and cigarette nasty. And they won't give money back in did not stay there!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very neat - Nice staff with good human relation. Good environment.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Stay away. - Never again. Smelled bad, room was dirty. Door did not lock right. Never again.
• anthony (6/5): - Just needed a bed for a quick stop. Desk person, who I took for an owner, seemed to be put out by my late arrival (10:30). I went straight to bed and got up at 5. Showered then left. Nothing fancy but did the job.
• Kathleen (8/5): - This was a no frills hotel. Perfect for our layover to our final destination. Met our needs for a very reasonable rate!
• Jon (6/5): - If you need a place just to sleep this is the place.
• William (6/5): No Frills, No Spills - This was a decent little no frills place. I have to admit there was a little bit of a smell in the front office that I wasn't accustom to I prayed it wasn't in our room. Check in was flawless and very speedy, our room was exactly what I asked for and the smell wasn't there thank God. The beds were a little stiff and the toilet was really low to the ground ADA im assuming but all in all it was good for what we paid for it.... Bottom line would I stay here again? Maybe, depends on my other choices in the area and my budget.
• andre (2/5): Not good - Not worth it.. it was really bad i swear i would never tell anyone to go there at all.. the owner wasn't plz he was upset for some reason so dont go there at all bad management. Anything cheap never good at all trust me so have ur money and get some where good an done.. so u can sleep comfortable in the night thats all i have to say about this place
• C.J (10/5): Great price for great room - Last minute reservation to attend a concert. Very low price vs. normal price. No coffee maker in room and none ready in office, although they offered to make some.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Eh if you just want to try to sleep not bad - we weren't happy, we booked a king got 2 double beds, the handles on furniture were missing, no remote for tv, fan in bathroom didn't work, alarm clock didn't' work beds were hard the best we can say is that it was clean ..
• Verified traveler (2/5): Dingy rooms, cancelled reservations - Room was cancelled upon a late check in without any notice. Was left only with the option of a smoking room.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Run down, dirty. Hotel near airport. - Hotel staff were very helpful and nice. Room was gross. There was no blanket on the bed, only the bed spread. Tried to call front desk for a wake up call, no one would answer. I just kept getting the answering machine.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel near restaurants, shopping and airport - No more info. Stop this I have no time to do all of this
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Manager was great
