Lovely view, nice staff
Pros:

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The lobby was clean and the business centre was excellent. The room had a really nice view of the river. It was convenient that there were some wonderful dining options within walking distance. We also had a late, light supper from the bistro in the lobby, which was quite good. Nice that it was open late. I was concerned when I realized the hotel was located essentially at a casino complex but it is located far enough away that it wasn’t an issue. We didn’t use the pool or fitness room but they both looked very clean and well-kept.

Cons:

It was an unpleasant surprise to learn there was no complimentary breakfast. You had to purchase coffee and food from the Starbucks bistro in the lobby. While the bistro was a nice late supper option, it wasn’t nearly as convenient or efficient for breakfast, and it wasn’t open at all in the middle of the day, not even on the weekend. The room was adequate but not what I had booked online, and the wallpaper and fixtures were a little beaten up. The beds were much too soft for us but I’m sure they would be comfortable for most people.

Noisy hotel
Pros:

For a hotel constructed in the 21st century this property lacks basic sound isolation between floors and adjacent rooms that I’ve come to expect in a Marriott property. Our room was on the second floor away from the elevators hoping for a good nights sleep but every footstep of the occupants above sounded like a clumsy stomp dance studio and we listened to our neighbors TV programs late into the night. Additional sounds to round off our stay included the pitter padder of little feet running down the hallway around 2AM. If you chose to stay in this hotel I suggest you request a room on the top floor at the end of the corridor to minimize unwanted sound sources. Also disappointed that they failed to make up our room for our second nights stay. At close to $250/ night I should not have to request that the beds are made, trash cans emptied and towels changed.

Repeated Business Stay
Pros:

I often stay at this location for work in the Schenectady area and, more often than not, Azeem (sp?) in the manager on duty. I am always impressed with his friendliness, the fact that he remembers me, and does his best to ensure an upgrade as a gold member of Bonvoy. Thank you for ensuring a night away from home is welcoming.

Good place to stay while on business
Pros:

Feels like a newer property but one elevator was out of service. Didn’t matter, had no issues getting up and down. Room was clean and comfortable. Wish there was free breakfast or at least free coffee but the Starbucks / breakfast people are super nice. Parking is easy.
