Lobby staff polite room had burn holes in carpet and in bedding
A non smoking floor smelled like cigarettes and weed. No drain to take a bath and stains all over the walls in sink area and shower walls very dirty

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Clean room and friendly staff made this a great stay. Very convenient location for my trip to Albany.
Lack of upkeep with the rooms . Bathrooms ceilings were moldy, shower curtains wouldn’t stay open so water went on the ground causing mold and the wallpaper coming off the wall. Said smoke free but room smelled like smoke.
It is OK for overnight cheap stay. A few things were frustrating to deal with. Key card had to be reprogrammed each night. Wireless access suffered. Even TV reception was bad, kept losing signal.
My door key stopping working several times causing me to have to go back to the lobby to have it renewed. I was told the doors don’t line up correctly and it’s a common problem.
The paint in room was peeling and the toilet was lower to the ground than normal. The room wasn’t the best but it was cheap and you get what you pay for.
We were assigned in the room 611, the room smelled bad and to our nasty surprised there were a big amount of bedbugs until we were changed to a room on the fourth floor

Disliked: Amenities
Convenient to the highway I felt safe in the room I slept well. The toilet didn't work properly the one chair in the room was broken I had a lot of trouble finding the hotel I had to call to ask him how to get there. There's no Albany plaza sign that you can read at night because the light on the sign is out and the building only says ramada. For the price that's fine but don't expect much
Horrible service.
Breakfast had barely any options
Staff first day was a gentleman, was kind helpful and pleasant lady next day was RUDE argued with me when I asked for milk for my cereal ignored my request for items multiple times
Room was FILTHY hair everywhere showers dirty towels had a horrible odor
Door would not latched closed
After a day at a funeral service came back to room to relax was disturbed by BANGING loud knocks at about midnight on the door when answering no one was there.
Water was brown colored coming from sink . Blankets were cigarette burn marks everywhere in a non smoking room . Electrical outlet sparked a flame when inserting my charger .
Worse hotel experience EVER
