Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Colonie Center Mall

Needed a room after snafu at airport reasonably priced. My issue was the cleanliness or lack there of. I would not recommend.

Over the last three weeks, we have stayed in different motels each night throughout New York State and Canada. This was the worst by far The lady on check in was pleasant. That was where the positives ended. The drive in porch looks structurally unsafe. Our room (203) had an instant smell of urine upon entering, which was exacerbated when using the air con. The air con unit itself was so noisy it sounded like a helicopter in the room. The room was dated, no comforter, just rough woollen blanket & sheet. Walls needed a good lick of paint, and the TV guide provided was useless. The bathroom was awful with a crack in the sink, a brown shower curtain, half a bottle of used conditioner, and brown marks on the toilet roll. The bathroom door was unsafe and hanging off the hinges so it wouldn't close, which meant no privacy for our family. The toilet seat was unsafe only held on by one hinge. The room housing the ice machine was a health hazard. The floor was disgusting and it felt like a dumping ground with empty trash lying around. Breakfast in the morning was dreadful. Waffle batter was too thin, tar like coffee and at 8am everything seemed to be running out. There was an older gentleman repeatedly wiping down all the surfaces with the dirtiest cloth I have ever seen. Overall, I think this motel needs some serious maintenence, a good clean and a visit from environmental health.

Good, but pot The room was very nice, the heating and cooling system worked perfectly. Sheets were too thin for us personally, bed was very soft. The shower had great pressure and temperature. The biggest complaint was the amount of pot. My husband is extremely sensitive to the drug and gets horrible headaches just from a whiff of it. The room next to us was smoking both in the night and first thing in the morning. There were others smoking pot as well, despite being multiple no smoking rooms. This should be banned from hotels. Just because someone else wants to destroy their lungs and brain cells, doesn’t mean we all have to.

Would stay again Budget is tight and there was an online discount for the room. The hotel had a better review than others in the same price range. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I didn’t realize that you entered the rooms from outdoors, but we didn’t have any security issues. The room was no-frills which was expected, but we were happy with it. It is also a good location for a visit to Albany.

Pet room feces,still on floor from previous traveler, dropped a little soda of floor and cleaned it up and the face cloth was black from the filth on the floor, parking lot disgusting, we were both exhausted from our trip from Maine other wise ,we would of never stayed! Room 115, and I’m sure the rest were just as dirty, dead spiders in shower, I could go on ,up at 3am and out I Of here , refund should be a given

Older hotel Not a bad stay, but this is an older hotel, not in the best condition. If i'd driven by first, I would not have booked the hotel.
