Room was clean and comfortable but a bit outdated looking. Could be a bit more cheerful in color and rug choices. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only there for 1 night so didn’t get chance to use amenities but pool area and gym looked appealing.

8/10 Very good

Convenient location just off the Interstate and although not the nicest area to stay, overall the stay was good. We had dinner in the Bistro and it was very good and the server was very attentive. The room was clean and comfortable but the Washroom had an unclean odour. Was very disappointed to find that the sheets very worn and pilly This I would not expect from a Hilton Hotel, or any other Hotel for that matter. Would not stay in this location or area again.

The staff was very hospitable and responsive. Overall, the room was clean. My stay was satisfactory. There were two items of concern: 1) I was overcharged for snacks I purchased. 2) Gunk found in the bathroom sink.

The hotel has a very cozy vibe which was perfect for the cold winter weather in Schenectady. They have these amazing walnut chocolate chip cookies at the front desk which are complimentary so don’t forget to ask for one. We did go to the bar for a night cap and Adam was amazing with conversation and comfort. The food was not good but the drinks helped that.
