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.

I would only stay here again if there were no other options. Requested a king room and received two queens and staff sai
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Overpriced and room had an odd smell. Although the room was clean we had to have window opened all night to deal with smell. Maintenance sprayed carpet but it only helped for 15 minutes then smell returned

Very nice hotel in a great area.
Pros:

The hotel was centrally located with many dining options with in walking distance or a short drive. The hotel itself was very clean, and lovely lobby area, and our room was very comfortable. My only complaints would be no convenience toiletries at the bathroom sink and while they have a bistro in the lobby ~ you can’t get coffee till 7am. AND the little in room coffee maker needs an upgrade! Coffee was horrendous! I will also say the front desk staff were very kind and helpful!

Jason and his staff at the Courtyard Marriott on Harborside Dr were exceptional! They accommodated us with our last second changes. Easy drive to Saratoga Springs. We highly recommend this hotel and thanks to Expedia for the assistance.
