Top Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Troy

10/10 Excellent

"Prompt check-in, friendly staff. Room was clean and comfortable."

Courtyard by Marriott Albany Troy/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was very clean, the staff was awesome."

Luxury Downtown w/Backyard by Franklin Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, convenient to restaurants and the farmers market. Very nice interior, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Communication from host was timely and effective. Check in/out process was smooth and easy. Quiet street with plenty of parking available when we arrived on a Friday late afternoon. Would definitely stay again."

Best Western Plus Franklin Square Inn Troy/Albany

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

5th and Grand Lovingly Restored Brownstone Troy NY Unit 2

10/10 Excellent

"We were in Troy to visit family at RPI and this was a perfect stay for us. The apartment was so clean and comfortable - very true to the photos. We loved the unique decor. April was extremely communicative and friendly and responded right away any time we reached out. We loved the location being able to walk to Dinosaur BBQ and the little bars down the street. I would definitely stay here again and recommended to family who visit here often. The only note is that there are fairly steep stairs to the apartment and three stairs down to the bathroom. This wasn’t a problem for us at all but might have been challenging if we had older family members with us as planned originally."

Gardner Farm Inn

10/10 Excellent

"John was a wonderful host and chef! Thoroughly enjoyed our time."

The Ilium Suite 406 - Luxury Studio in Downtown Troy

10/10 Excellent

"Exactly as pictured & described! Very clean and comfortable - exactly what we were looking for. Outside noise can sometimes be heard but the sound machine was a huge help to get to sleep."

The Ilium Suite 402 - River view Luxury Studio in Downtown Troy

8/10 Good

"The property itself was excellent - very clean and nice, check in was easy, and the owner was very responsive. The biggest drawback was the area, which felt very unsafe to be walking around in and leaving a car overnight. Parking was an issue, as the listing cited “parking available” but that turned out to be parking on the street or in a garage a short distance away. Some of the town signs were not very clear, and my daughter’s car ended up getting towed, resulting in travel difficulties and added expense. I certainly don’t lay these concerns on the property owner, but things that are important to know before coming to the area. Again, the space itself was excellent and the building secure, but the surrounding variables are important to keep in mind."

5th and Grand - Lovingly Restored Brownstone Troy NY Unit 1

10/10 Excellent

"Smooth communication and great unit"
