Hotel con colazione inclusa a Colonie

Starting with our check in, the young man at the counter was extremely nice and professional. Our room was what we call a classic stay, everything was clean, plenty of towels, roomy, everything was in working order... everything you want in your room including quiet. The breakfast, Dana, recommended the Lox and bagels and it was delicious. The service was wonderful. So overall, this was an outstanding stay. Try this hotel, it won't disappoint.

Rooms are very nice. The hotel was very clean. They have a hot breakfast (eggs), toast, coffee, juice and milk. Very quiet. You are away from the main traffic roads, Got a good night's sleep here. Dorothy, the manager, was great and made sure we had everything we needed.

First of all the rooms and the beds are fantastic! Clean and spacious. But AVOID THE BISTRO!!! We spent a night on our travels and decided to have an after-dinner drink in the Bistro. My wife ordered a glass of wine. The heavy-set women who appeared to be the manager poured the drink, she poured what was left in the bottle and was too lazy to open a new bottle. Thus she had a drink that was below the B symbol... I have stayed at many Courtyards and the wine was always poured to the B symbol. The wine cost was 14.00 dollars for this short pour and I must say I have had better wine and better pours at the Capital Grill for $14.00. I did speak to her after, and she became very combative and said there were two pours one below the B and the other above. I added that we were never asked and indicated that the pours for other patrons were well above the B with not asking them. So the moral is if you see this heavy-set women manager BUYER BWARE!!!

This was our first stay at this particular Residence Inn. My feelings on it are mixed. First impression, was that the signage and entrance to the facility on Wolf Road was very unclear. The Courtyard by Marriott is accessed by the same entrance, but the signs indicating that the Residence Inn is also accessed from that driveway were not clearly visible, causing us to have to turn around and approach it from the opposite direction. Also, we were a bit confused when we walked into the very futuristic-looking lobby and saw only a sign saying ”Courtyard by Marriott”, no sign saying it was a residence Inn. Not sure if both hotels are accessed from the same front entrance, but we were a bit unsure if we were in the right place. When we entered our one-bedroom suite on the 5th floor, we were impressed with the modern, clean design of the suite. It was quite clean as well. I wouldn't necessarily call it ”pristine”, but it had the appearance of cleanliness. Aside from the confusing entrance issues mentioned above, my only criticisms are not anything that the management has any control over, but is the fault of corporate decisions on the design, furnishings, and furniture for the suites. The bed was comfortable enough. The sofa, however, was not. It was rather stiff and hard, and had very little back support. The kitchen was clean, but the refrigerator had no ice maker (ice was obtained by the ice machine on each floor - ice which promptly froze into a solid iceberg after being transported back to the suite and placed in the freezer). There were not many pans. The dishes were on an open shelf instead of in the cabinets, and the cabinets were, for the most part, empty. I did, however, find the toaster, in a deep drawer. Instead of a small table with a couple of chairs as is provided in many full kitchen suites, this one had a ”breakfast bar” in the kitchen with bar stools which we did not even attempt to sit on. Not the most comfortable option for older folks like us. The TV in the living area proclaimed that one could hook up a device to the HDMI port in the back of the TV in order to view content on our own devices, but several attempts to do so resulted in nothing but a black screen, so we gave up on that idea and watched reruns of HGTV house shows instead. Would we stay here again? Most likely. Would I recommend it to other travelers? Sure. The inconveniences were minor. And the futuristic lobby is something to behold!

Molto buona suite, consiglio!

Let me start by stating it took almost 5 minutes for someone to come to the desk after being beckoned by myself loudly. The room that we had chosen during checkin in the app had been reassigned prior to checkin and there were no king suites available on the first floor. I was sent to a suite on the second floor with my family very late at night and it was a Queen suite which we booked a king. I went back to the desk and was told the associate who changed my room earlier had also changed the code on my reservation to a queen suite. So we were finally placed in a king suite on the third floor. Upon going into the room it was not a great experience either. The room was so damp it was literally icky to even touch the bedding it, my kids were tired so we stayed in the room. I went to feed them and had to wash every plate and silverware because they were dirty with food stuck to them. I was so disappointed and disgusted. So the next morning I went to speak to the manager and he apologized and said he would get us into a room at least on the first floor and refund 50 dollars for my first night 7/28. I have yet to receive any reimbursement. We had to wait for the room, and when we finally got to it the light was broken under the microwave which hindered my kids from having their typical night light without me having to leave the bathroom light on. Also the dishes were filthy. So much so I just brought it to the manager the next morning and all he did was apologize. I would like follow up on this as our experience at a home 2 has never been this displeasing!

Excellent location, great service and wonderful restaurant. Would definitely stay again.
