Best Western Plus Franklin Square Inn Troy/Albany

10/10 Excellent

"It might not be the newest hotel in Troy, but it has the best location. Lots of parking and clean and comfortable rooms. You can tell that the staff enjoy working there. They take hospitality seriously. Breakfast is complimentary and the scrambled eggs are always delicious! I’ve stayed 3 times this year, for at least a week each time. I love this place. They make it feel like home."

Hilton Garden Inn Troy

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed only one night because we had to drop my son off at RPI. (Which is very close). We got the accessible room this time due to knee tear. I’m glad I did. The bathroom was definitely big enough if you’re in a wheel chair. It had plenty of bars to hold on to in shower or if needed around toilet. The room was a very nice size. If you are are in a wheel chair, crutches, or cane you will find there is plenty of room. The beds were very comfortable. There were two queen size beds with three pillows on each of them. There was a big size chair with pillow if one chooses to sit there instead of sitting on the bed. There was also a desk if you need to get some work done. There was a piece of furniture that had a refrigerator in it, a Keurig coffee maker and a microwave. There was also a dresser with three drawers and a big TV. We didn’t use the gym, but we were able to see it from the pool and it seems like a very nice clean room. We did take advantage of the pool. It was very nice, but the water was freezing. I did want to add that there was three steps and a banister to be able to get into the pool. It was very safe and sturdy. Also plenty of towels available. We also went to the restaurant downstairs the night we arrived. It was delicious. The atmosphere was great. Over all it was a nice stay and I would definitely go back."

Gardner Farm Inn

10/10 Excellent

"John was an excellent host. The breakfasts were great. Would stay again."

Olde Judge Mansion

8/10 Good

"Tina was terrific! Very friendly and helpful. She prepared an excellent breakfast."

Spacious Home w/ Yard & Patio, 2 Mi to Dtwn Troy

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this rental exceeded expectations. The home was spacious and beautifully appointed with lots of personality and charm. All the electronics for media and appliances for meal-making were plentiful and high quality. It's in a lovely neighborhood (I actually grew up right around the corner from the house) - great for leisurely walks, and a convenient drive to downtown Troy, Albany, the airport and more. Plenty of off-street and on-street parking. It was easy to "check in" and easy to "check out". We enjoyed coffee and evening cocktails on the front porch every day! The owner was a pleasure to deal with, too! And, an added plus was that HBO happened to be filming The Gilded Age while we were there - just a few houses away around the corner - the horses and carriages were all parked right outside our rental home, and we were able to watch some of the filming. And, despite all the activity, the filming crew couldn't have been more courteous and never impeded our access. I highly recommend staying at this beautiful House of Troy!"
