Axel's take: 6.8/10
Useful airport-area basics, but uneven upkeep and noise make this a qualified pick. A no-frills, pet-friendly 3-star near Albany airport, scored for what it is.
This is a no-frills, pet-friendly 3-star in Latham: a workable choice for a short airport-area stop, rather than a hotel we'd choose for a relaxing getaway. Free breakfast, parking, an indoor pool and a gym give it useful everyday appeal. Expedia and Tripadvisor guests often praise comfortable beds, clean rooms and helpful staff, but the overall picture is mixed rather than consistently dependable.
The trade-offs are upkeep and quiet. Recent reviews describe worn surroundings, maintenance faults and inconsistent housekeeping, alongside plenty of satisfactory stays. Hallway noise and barking dogs recur across sites. Guests also reported next-door construction starting around 7 a.m. during summer 2026; confirm whether it continues. Don't count on a hot tub: multiple guests say it is no longer available. We'd skip it if peaceful sleep or reliably polished rooms matter most.
