Days Inn Albany SUNY

The manager was extremely friendly and helpful in getting us our rooms for early checkin (funeral). Rooms were very clean, quiet and was equipped with hair dryer and iron/board. The only problem with the second floor room was that the hot water in the shower took FOREVER to get warm - had to run for 5-7 minutes before you got hot water. Located right next to a Dunkin Donuts and several small restraurants, it made it convenient for a quick cup of coffee or lunch. For the price, I would definitely recommend this hotel!!!! Other

I stayed only one night at this Days Inn. My room was clean, however there was a slight damp/musty smell in it. I bought an air-freshener to remedy that. It was quiet and the complimentary breakfast was pretty nice; cereal, toast, bagels, coffee, juice. The staff was pleasant and helpful. We had a problem with one light in our room and the desk clerk came with me immediatly and fixed it, (turns out the cord was unplugged - the outlet behind the bed). The location was easy to find and there were lots of eateries and shopping nearby.

The room was clean but not large, reasonably quiet. The web-based reservation was for 3 adults, and there as one bed. No cot. No pull-out. Only two sets of towels. Breakfast included cold cereal, instant oatmeal, bagels, (toastable), coffee, tea, juice, green bananas, and under-ripe apples. Accessing internet required borrowing a cable from the front desk - which they were happy to let us keep overnight.

Pillows were a little too hard, sort of spartan furnishings, but place was clean and staff was courteous.

Our room was relatively close to the road on which the hotel is located, and traffic and other outside noise resulted in some difficulty in falling and staying asleep. I presume this could be mitigated by staying a room on the opposite end of the building, furthest from the street, assuming that one is avialble.\n\nIn virtually every other respect, however, this lodging perfectly suited our needs, i.e., as an economical place to sleep and grab a quick, decent breakfast. We didn't avail ourselves of, or for that matter have any need for, other amenities, and therefore appreciate not having the cost of such features built into the room rate. Our overnight stay in Albany was immediately followed by driving to Saratoga Springs, where hotel rates were vastly inflated due to it being horse racing season at the Saratoga track. Spending the previous night at the Days Inn in Albany instead of a pricey place in Saratoga Springs therefore saved us a substantial amount of money.
