The hotel has a very cozy vibe which was perfect for the cold winter weather in Schenectady. They have these amazing walnut chocolate chip cookies at the front desk which are complimentary so don’t forget to ask for one. We did go to the bar for a night cap and Adam was amazing with conversation and comfort. The food was not good but the drinks helped that.
Hotel was beautiful. The room was clean and maintenance crew kept it clean.

Liked: Cleanliness
The staff at the front desk & cleaning staff were wonderful! Ryan that worked breakfast was so rude the 1st day that I debated returning for day 2 & breakfast was included with our stay. Ryan flung the menus down at us so we left & never returned for our breakfast any of the days left bc of the treatment we received from him. We were there for 4 nights & only ate 1 day. I paid extra to have breakfast so that was quite the let down.
I got a great price on this just due to the day/market price... Normally I'm in some lower star hotels so I may be easily impressed, but really, it's a great hotel. The staff was polite and everything was very clean and comfortable, communicative as well. Rec room and pool were crazy to have access to, so if you need to keep up with fitness, they keep these nice, too. Thank you to the staff for such a pleasant hotel experience on all sides.
Great service from the front desk agents, were very helpful.

Room and check in was great. We visited Schenectady to attend a Union College football game. After the game we decided to drink and eat at the hotel. We were approximately 12 people the bar was short on alcohol and could not make espresso martinis and a few other request from the girls in our party ☹️ but the food was great. Morning buffet was mediocre at best we got there at 8:20 the eggs were cold, coffee was empty, pancakes had no sirup available. Overhaul the buffet breakfast was not worth the fee associated with what was available.
