Days Inn Schenectady - Schenectady

The hotel was great, for the price it was exactly what we were looking for. The room was large, the bed comfortable and the refrigerator worked. The only bad thing was the hallways reeked of cigarette smoke. The area around the hotel seemed in need of some urban renewal, but was not too bad.

1.) Desk Clerks excellent service, especially by Ms. Ermine. 2) Shower did not work; Also drape rod fell off. Reported same to front desk. Later desk mgr. told me I didn't turn shower control the right way. --I couldn't budge shower control. Drape Rod was never replaced during our two day stay. I also reported wobbly chair in room. We were afraid to […] sit in it the entire stay. 3) Breakfast was very good; Breakfast room was very clean Read more

This Days Inn is older and a bit run down. The main problem I had was that the room was not clean. Also, there was a safe in the room, but it did not work.

The person at the front desk was wonderful. The first thing that hits you is the smell in the elevator, which abates slightly in the halls and the rooms but sticks to your clothes. The telephones in my room and my friend's room did not work. Neither did the alarm clock. There are two small soaps and a shampoo as amenities. If you want anything else […] (e.g., conditioner, body lotion, or pen), you must ask at the front desk. The room had a refrigerator and coffee maker and the tv worked. The bathroom was relatively small with the sink outside (visible to the beds). The beds were comfortable but the pillows were very thick - good if you like that. The room was somewhat noisy but, with one exception in the hall around 11:30 p.m., it was mostly road noise. The breakfast was mostly unappealing carbohydrates - no fresh fruit but it did have a waffle maker. Walking distance to Union College. Ok for one night, but not more. Read more

We chose this hotel due to its location near Union College. That was, in fact, just about all it had going for it. It was a bargain. It was also not clean, had that industrial smell, very modest sized rooms and the ambiance of an army barrack. But it was cheap.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

it was good

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel needs some work on cosmetics, but the beds were good and service great. Near downtown, 3 blocks from Union College, We would stay there again without hesitation.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great bargain but clearly has challenges of more permanent residents. I will not be returning based on police visit during my stay.

Love this hotel, even though it's not a international hotel, this hotel had proven to me that it can match up to those standards.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

our room smelled pretty bad. maybe an attempt to cover up cheap cigars ?

Room was dirty. Carpet was not vaccuumed. Not enough towels or toiletries. Had an Expedia reservation, clerk said I don't need that and proceeded to charge me again, for the room that I paid for through Expedia. Credit card charge for the room was credited back to me after I found the discrepency on my credit card. Breakfast was awful. Found hairs in […] the plastic cereal bowls, coffee was out, sheets had mens hairs on them and ladies make up stains on the sheets. Very noisy neighborhood....sirens and horns all night. All in all did not get to sleep till 5 AM. An awful experience !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read more

The hotel was a bit run down and the service was lacking. Had no ironing board in the room (or functioning iron) and only 2 towels for my party of 3. Note- this is not a real Days Inn but a stand alone hotel licensing the name. Was conveniently located if visiting Union College but so is Holiday Inn across the street.

My son has been at Union for almost the past three years, and this is the first time I have stayed in this Day's Inn. I am sorry that we did not stay here sooner. It is walking distance to the school. I have had bad experiences in the past with other Days Inn hotels and was reluctant, usually booking about 20 minutes away. Our room was very clean and […] comfortable. There was a coffee maker and a mini fridge in the room. They also served a very nice continental breakfast. The staff was very welcoming. We will back throughout this, my son's senior year in the area. Read more

Really this is not a hotel but a rooming house for many local folks. The staff was wonderful but I would not recommend this hotel for travelers.

The one and only drawback was that the corridors and even the non-smoking room had the putrid essence of age old cigarette smoke. You adjusted to it pretty quickly, but the initial smell was nasty. Breakfast was copious with a large variety of stuff including self serf waffle maker. 2 thumbs up there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I thought the hotel was dark and not inviting. It smelled like smoke both inside and outside the room. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The surrounding area appeared to not be safe. Was so glad I had to only spend one night there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A little nasty. The carpet needs replacing and my non-smoking room smelled like smoke, as did the corridors.

Loud area, old hotel. Everything needs updating.

The hotel in itself was great with the rooms clean and service commendable. The breakfast was also good though choice of fruits were minimal. While the location from the downtown was perfect, the surrounding looked little eerie and security appeared compromised, but nothing to worry at all. I had a great stay and highly recommend for budget travele […] rs. Read more

Unfortunately , this very conveniently located hotel is in decline. We stayed there a couple of years ago and it was okay, but now the rooms are poorly maintained and our blankets had holes and stains on them. Someone should buy the hotel and make it useable again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Lacking was a simple cart for transporting personal items from auto to bottom of stairs at entrance. While eating light breakfast very, very noisy maintenance work was being performed in eating area: (repairing waffle iron).

My husband and I were looking for a place to stay that wasn't to far from a friends wedding location and wasn't overly expensive. The Hotel was about 20 minutes away from Ballston Spa, NY. The staff was very friendly and informative. The room was clean. The tv isn't a flat screen but it made due. The universal remote only worked from a certain angle […] but again not there for the TV. The Hotel also said they were going thru with some updates, b/c the Mirror wall in the room threw us back to the 1980's. The toilet needs updating. Very loud flush and took forever to fill. The continental breakfast was nice to have since we didn't want to spend too much on food. All in all better than some hotels chains we've stayed with. Read more

Location was in downtown area where safety was an issue, also very noisy all night long.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

clean, better than expected. Not very friendly tho. I will stop again next time we pass thru.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very run down...when we pulled into the parking lot our first thought was that the hotel went out of business - woken up at midnight by loud guests, woken up again at 2:30 by people running up and down the hallway

He room was clean and the service was nice, I would recommend it.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel, while a good value, was not really up to standards. The building is quite old and does not seem well kept. The room was adequate but I wouln't call it exatly comfortable. Staff was very friendly and tried to address all complaints promptly. If you do not plan to spend much time at your hotel and strictly need a place to stay at night this […] is an ok choice.

This hotel is tired and need of an upgrade. At least the mattresses had bed bug covers...

Genuine Expedia guest review

My son and I were heading to Schenectady and I selected Days Inn because I generally have decent stays since it's 'just a bed' that's needed. BIG MISTAKE! The 'ambiance' of the Lobby area is run-down. The room had a mustiness and a slight smell like fermenting fruit. The safe in the room worked only after I fixed the battery pack holder (!). When I […] went to use the ironing board it fell apart in my hands. My son flushed the toilet and the handle came off in his hand (I fixed it). If I wasn't pressed for time I would have raised hell at the front desk but - then again - no one was there when I went down twice!! The next morning our key cards just stopped working (well before checkout) and, when the manager couldn't get them to work (he did cop an attitude thinking I didn't know how to use the card!), he let us in the room ... and walked away with NO NEW KEY CARDS given to us! I couldn't drive away fast enough! Holiday Inn is across the street so GO THERE!! Read more

This is the LOUDEST hotel I've ever stayed in. Not only was I awakened two mornings in a row at 4:30 am accidentally by automated wake-up calls I never requested, but the wing I was in had these highway work crew guys carousing all night long. Glad I'm back home so I can get some REST.
