Red Roof Inn Albany Airport

I occasionally travel solo for work from PA to New England a few times a year. Sometimes, on late returns back home, I will opt to get a hotel in the Albany area to break up the traveling a bit. Naturally, it's easy to spring for the cheapest option but obviously that always comes with a caveat. On both occasions of my stay, I have arrived late (2am) and departed early. Upon my arrivals both times, there was a lot of activity in the parking lot. Cars coming in and out and shady looking possibly strung out people hanging out and walking around the perimeter of the hotel. The lady at the front desk was polite. I asked for a late check-out and the respectfully declined. After falling asleep around 3am, I was woken up at 5am to a doors banging and people arguing a few doors down from me. I believe the police may have been called after a verbal altercation went on for 20-30 minutes. This hotel could work if you are solo traveler and looking for a cheap place to crash for a few hours, but definitely leave no valuables in your vehicle and not a bad idea to have some pepper spray when entering your room at a late hour. I will not be staying here again.

Good to travel

Ive been staying at this hotel for years whenever I had an early morning flight from ALB. For the last few years it was going down hill . Seems they got new management (?) and the property is greatly improved. No more trash in the parking lot or stairway. Room was spotless. Front staff was helpful and friendly.

People smoking right outside my door. My room also smelled like smoke and they tried to cover it up with something that smelled like Axe body spray. It was cheap and close to the airport though.

First of all, it is a place not classified as a hotel, the bedroom full of flying insects, the smell not only of cigarettes, the bedspreads are dirty, and the cold of the night that filters through the doors because it does not have any maintenance, we could not sleep good.

Grounds have a lot of litter- found a razor blade outside our room, lots of latex gloves - maid was friendly and helpful but male at front desk was not friendly and didn’t want to help me Noise is to be expected with proximity to the airport and planes taking off and landing Lots of food Options around

It’s a bargain price so kinda what you’d expect, older building a bit worn but clean and convenient to the airport and throughway.

Ok property convient for travellers with dog.

The room was dirty. The spiderscand flys were abundant.

Nothing what I expected. Check in was pleasant and friendly and made the process quick and smooth. When I got to my room there were nats flying around, the towels looked dirty and the toilet almost backed up.
