I will absolutely recommend the Hampton Inn again to anyone who asks.
Pros:

The location was the primary draw for me as I was attending the CouncilCon event in the Proctor's Theater that weekend. Parking was extremely convenient for my needs.

Cons:

It would be nice to have some kind of directory or information about restaurants and attractions nearby. The location is wonderful on State Street, but several places were not open for business - it gets unclear where to go as you get further from State Street / Broadway.

Overall was a nice stay in the downtown area of the city of Schenectady. Stay was nice and peaceful and you cannot beat
Pros:

The staff was friendly and very helpful. We were able to check in at noon instead of 3pm because our room was already cleaned and available which was great because we got into the city early and had a lot of heavy bags with us and no car with us. We were given a room upgrade after having issue with ac in our original room. The upgrade was close by on the same floor so we wouldn’t have to bring our bags far. The ac in the bedroom area of our upgraded room worked perfectly. Breakfast was tasty and was available for a decent amount of hours. The room was excellent and the bathroom was nice. The showers were equipped with excellent shower head spray options, perfect for everyone’s needs. Bedroom and bathroom were very clean and well stocked with the towels and other essentials. Pool and hot tub had a conveniently placed outside patio area. The pool and hit tub were also very private and were available for use from 6am to 11pm which was awesome.

Cons:

The ac in my original bedroom was not functioning properly. We were upgraded to a suite room and the ac in the living room area was working exactly the same as the original rooms ac. It stayed at 75 degrees which was not enough to keep us cool given the humidity and heat outside. We just kept the bedroom and living room areas closed off by closing doors and keeping cooler air in the bedroom. Not really something you should worry anout at your hotel. It seems the ac and heating may need to be renovated or replaced in some rooms. The pool and hot tub area was not kept clean unfortunately. There was the same broken nail and fake eyelashes on the floor next to the hot tub our entire visit (Monday morning through Friday morning. There was the same big clumps of hair in the pool floating around for three days as well, even after staff was told about it upon our first visit to the pool area on the first day of our stay.

Gut für einen Kurzurlaub. Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. AirCo als Heizung.
Pros:

Jeden Morgen gab es ein vernünftiges Frühstück mit allem, was internationale Gäste mögen.
Schnelles Internet für Notebook und anderes per LAN-Kabel.

Cons:

Die Heizung ist einfach zu laut, da es im Grunde genommen eine AirCo ist und daher eine Lüftung ständig neu anläuft bei Unterschreitung der eingestellten Temperatur. Ein normaler Heizkörper neben der AirCo wäre ratsam. Keinen guten durchgehenden Schlaf gehabt....
