The most memorable thing about this hotel for our family was the fire alarm going off from 6:00 AM until 6:30 AM. The fire department even showed up, so we started our day early. Fortunately there wasn't a fire, but it was frustrating to have a false alarm so early in the morning.

Positives: It was simply a place to rest for us. We checked in late and left early.

Negatives: The fire alarm went off at 6:00 AM.

We stayed in this hotel before, the last time we where in Albany we stayed in another hotel. What a mistake. the room was dirty, the bathroom was dirty, someone else's hair was stuck on the walls of the shower. We were not happy at all. I would recommend this hotel to all.

Positives: It was very clean, In-door Pool, Restaurant was there, (didn't dine in) close to airport and University at Albany. Reason for our visit.

Negatives: To travel with children, the room must have. A microwave and a little Fridge. I thought It was equipped with these items.

Our stay was very relaxing! We had a lot of luggage and the employees were very helpful in getting us in and out of our room and to and from the airport without us having to lift a finger!

Positives: The employees were wonderful!

Negatives: The room AC's needed to be cleaned!

This hotel will be a very nice place to stay overall when the construction is completed. The rooms are nice and comfortable, although small. Everywhere else is under construction, and the pool seems a bit outdated, but it is heated. It is at a convenient location.

Positives: Very comfy bed and pillows.

Negatives: Everything was under construction; lights were hanging off the walls.

Great stay! Good location, easy to find, lots of good places to eat and shop near by, nice pool and hot tub area. Would stay there again!

Positives: The rooms were very comfortable. Staff friendly.

Negatives: Lobby was being remodeled; however the hotel did a good job of working around this problem.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 19 Nov 2007 rated 3 out of 10.

There was major construction going on. The first room they wanted to give me was right in the middle of the demolition; I walked down the hallway amidst the torn rugs and the newly spackled walls and many construction people! There were no amenities available as the front of the hotel was "curtained off and there was only a narrow walkway remaining. This wasn't what I expected from Marriott hotel.

Positives: Good location.

Negatives: There was major construction going on; most of the lobby, lounge, and sitting areas were not accessible.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 12 Nov 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was clean, comfortable and provided everything I needed. I did not use the facilities, but I would in the future. I would stay here again. I was very satisfied.

Positives: The bed was very comfortable and the location was excellent.

Negatives: The remodeling of the hotel was the only bad thing.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 09 Nov 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

If you can overlook the on going renovations throughout the entire hotel, you will be pleased with a wonderful bed at the end of a long day. Business travelers will find the hotel offers a place to eat, a great bed, nice amenities in the bathroom. Leisure travelers will be disappointed to find major renovations in the lobby and throughout the hotel.

Positives: Great bed, great shampoo.

Negatives: Low water pressure, remodeling of lobby was a real bummer.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 05 Nov 2007 rated 6 out of 10.

The hotel was okay. Nothing to write home about. The staff was friendly enough, but they were under construction and parts of it seemed dirty. The smoke alarm went off while I was blow drying my hair at 6 am. I had to wait for a service person to come to re set it. It woke up the people in the room next door. This hotel is either economy or moderate definitely not something to write home about!

Positives: The hotel was convenient for the conference I attended.

Negatives: The fire alarm went off at 6:00am, while I was blow drying my hair!

Although the hotel was listed as converting to a totally non smoking, I could tell mine was one of the rooms that had been previously a smokers room, no amount of cleaning can totally eliminate the lingering odor, slightly musty from trying to over clean the carpets, this was definitely not a primo room (sink cracked, tiles broken, towels like sand paper) for about the same money I could have stayed at a days inn and at least had breakfast in the morning.

Positives: Convenient to airport.

Negatives: Sign was hard to see, missed it first time.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 17 Sep 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

It is conveniently located and up to the Marriott standards, however our floor was under renovations and was dusty and noisy starting around 8:30am.

Positives: A clean hotel conveniently located next to the airport and route 81.

Negatives: The floor in which we stayed was under construction and renovations.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 16 Sep 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

Nice new rooms, except TVs have not been updated. Mine barely worked. Construction is still ongoing, but did not bother me. Air traffic notice is high (6:00 am to 11:00 pm).

Positives: Newly renovated rooms.

Negatives: Still under construction. Air traffic noise.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 01 Sep 2007 rated 9 out of 10.

Good location, excellent food (especially for a hotel), convenient to downtown (near airport) and there are plenty of restaurants nearby.

Positives: Excellent quality food (room service).

Negatives: Food was a little on the expensive side.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 01 Sep 2007 rated 7 out of 10.

The room was clean, bathroom was dark, and the location was fantastic. The pool was the dirtiest I have ever seen in a hotel and the hot tub was not hot.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Pool was very dirty! I hate having to pay for internet connection!

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 30 Aug 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel was wonderful, staff warm and efficient as we had some last minute business to take care of. They made sure we could send something UPS out the same day we arrived.

Positives: The staff was wonderful.

Negatives: The noise from the renovations was annoying, but we expected it.
