You get what you pay for. But the room was clean and the air conditioning was cold
Some people are whining about this place and giving it one star etc. but they need to be slapped. IT'S NOT THE RITZ. It's like 50% cheaper than the next highest hotel in the area and I got it last minute. ANd check it out... yes maybe a chair cushion had some loose threads but the room comes with: a microwave. a fridge. two desks. space. a perfectly comfortable bed. a spacious shower with high pressure warm water. Not a five star resort. But its perfectly suitable. Note, the free "breakfast" is kind of anemic. Just hard boiled eggs, bread, and coffee. But it's free.

stayed few hours for delayed flight, it is OK just to sleep…but hotel outside looks not too presentable but our room is great and clean
When we first saw the property...it looked abandoned and the road in needs serious attention. It was once a Ramada and is now a property in transition. The front desk was very helpful & friendly. The bed was pillow top & quite comfortable. No hand towels, kleenex or shampoo. Excellent price. It was well worth what we paid. I would stay here again, Lots of parking. Only 5 miles away from Wolf Rd restaurants (Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse etc). No coffee makers in room and have to wait until 7am when breakfast opens.
Its basically a pass over lay-way before you cross into hell. The best feature was a bed so you could sleep for the night. Even tho the walls are paper thin and you can hear all the ghosts and gouls, at least u can get 3 hours of sleep. Hopefully you wont need wifi, it barely works. Hallelujah, despite the massive pot holes outside, the pealing wall paper, cracked outlets, busted doors, one single outlet in the room thats usable, oh and the best ever breakfast that a starving Ethiopian child could ever want! Photo attached below. Welxome to 'merica!!!!!!!
Yes . everything was clean ,the areas i was very happy with services

It took us a while to find the hotel because the adress didn't bring us to the right place. Our room had a smell to it that was unpleasant and we could hear everything outside the hotel from our window. The bed was comfortable.
Don’t stay in this pig sty place! Everything is awful, beginning with the parking lot full of potholes. In the room there were broken/chipped furniture, torn lamp shades, and no shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom pumps ready for the guests. The breakfast is totally epic! There’s a specially designed person who gives only one cup of coffee, two boiled eggs, and two pieces of bread per person! No juices, yogurts, bagels, cream cheese, peanut butter and jam, or muffins which are usual items for the continental breakfasts! Nothing! And even the toaster for bread was broken. Never saw such a dilapidated place with nothing good to say about. Asked to pass my complaints to the management. Pretty sure it wasn’t done and nothing will be changed. Stay away!

Nice clean rooms that have been updated. Great location with a good price. Only down is front doors are still tough to open. Time to fix them. Stayed here several times
It served its purpose, was fairly dates and a bit on the dirty side. Overall it was what you would expect. Staff were all amazing and very helpful!

The staff are friendly and helpful. However, the mattress was old and sagging. The sink was draining extremely slowly.
The breakfast consisting of a boiled egg, toast, butter and peanut butter, tea or coffee. But there was no jam. That was a problem for me as I did not was the butter or peanut butter, I am lactose intorelant.

This place is actually a pleasant surprise inside. For the price, reasonably attractive and well-maintained. Close to downtown Albany and many restaurants and places to shop on the state highway just a block away. I got a great restaurant recommendation, appreciated the staff and quiet atmosphere, and would stay again. Again, for the low price, a great deal.
