It was good for my short stay in NY

Room very clean. Deadbolt works. I did not try TV. Staff friendly to me. I have stayed at a lot of hotels and Scottish Inn is a good value for the price range, which is low for the Colonie Mall/Target area, Albany, NY. Close to major bus stop for getting around rest of city, and airport-train-bus stations within an hour.

The place was so dirty, I don’t think it has been cleaned in months.

The place was nothing like described, it is basically a cheap road MOTEL and not a hotel. The room had a horrible smell, a combination of cigarettes and a strong spray trying to cover that. The shower was broken, the reception did sent someone to fix it but there wasn't a proper solution besides trying to open it again and hope it will work. The room was filthy, the carpet was full of dirt and the sheets on the bed were not clean. There were no blankets on the bed (only a sheet) and the guy in the reception argued with us over the phone when we asked for 2 blankets (we were two people who are not a couple so sharing a blanket was not really an option. The atmosphere itself was not welcoming and a bit scary. We ended up leaving for another hotel after only 30 min there. Highly not recommended!

It was okay. Quiet and comfortable…

Very clean hotel, nice room that was very comfortable

Pros: it’s overall clean, AC works well, and water was hot. Cons: AC is the old under the window unit with heat, and was very loud. As others mentioned, place was overall clean except for a nasty stain on the carpeting. Verdict: Unless you need a smoking room, spend the extra $30 to stay somewhere newer/nicer.

Nice for a stay

Great and relax stay. This motel is well located, surrounding by many restaurants and stores. The parking space is big and well illuminated at night . The room has the basic amenities. Flat screen TV with usb and HMDI connections. WiFi was strong and reliable all times. If you are a light sleeper ask for a room upstairs. They gave me a room in the street level and in the morning the people upstairs was driving me crazy. The manager and the front desk lady well very nice and profesional.

Where do I start? There were cigarettes burns all over the bathroom(we choose non-smoking). The bathroom looked like it wasnt cleaned in weeks. Our heater/air didnt work. The gentalman at check in and out was rude. No breakfast ad stated in ad. NEVER AGAIN

THE t.v. wasn't working ... AND THE HEAT wasn't working....there wasn't ANY fitted sheets ON THE BED

The only major complaint would be that the outside light was right outside our window and it was very bright in our room because of that. Even with the curtains pulled closed it was still very bright. Some black out curtains would be great to help with this matter.

The check in was quick and pleasant. The room and everything was very nice and clean. The mattress itself was too firm for my tastes. Unfortunately I did not get to stay on both nights because of an emergency situation nearby on the second night.

heater broke,walls and ceiling dirty.chairs broken.

After using the restroom to pee the toilet backed up with somebody else's mess within 5 minutes of us checking in. I called the front desk and someone did respond quickly (it was after 11) but when he came in plunger in hand asked if I was going to plunge the toilet! Then left all the nasty water over toilet and floor. Thank goodness I always carry clorox wipes with me. The shower had no water pressure, the bed was like a rock. Front desk staff less than thrilled you were there.

Not what was expected cheap hotel, allowed us to recharge batteries after long drive

We travel for work and just need a decent place to stay at night. The room has A/C, Cable tv, refridgerator, microwave and a clean bathroom. We will definitely stay here again.

It was simple, as I expected for the price. The only thing that was really not acceptable was the shower, which has the habit of changing temperature spontaneously and unpredictably.

Hotel staff were very helpful and nice. Room was gross. There was no blanket on the bed, only the bed spread. Tried to call front desk for a wake up call, no one would answer. I just kept getting the answering machine.

Good for overnight stay or passing by the town, very economical.

Affordable for a lengthy stay, close to shopping and services. Very dated, though clean and comfortable accommodations. Cable and wireless Internet.
