I read the reviews here and took a chance as the rate was so good. This hotel looks new inside and out. I am not familiar with the area and there did not seem to be much around. There was a gas station/quick stop accross the street. Hotel was very clean, had a small fridge and microwave that looked brand... More

The pros: The rooms are pretty clean, it's in a safe neighborhood, it's near downtown Albany. The cons: I had an extremely minor issue concerning my room key being reactivated for a second night (which had been prearranged.) Though all of my stuff was still in the room and my credit card was on file for two nights the night... More

I "moved" here from the horror that is the Regency Inn on Southern Blvd. My! What an upgrade! This review is a bit of a comparison of the two. I stayed at the Regency for about 2 weeks, but! I am glad I paid the extra 5-10 bucks to stay here -but no more as I'm on a budget :)... More

We decided to take the chance and book a room here even though the reviews are mixed. I was a little concerned since I had my family with me. Also the person that took our reservation was very cold. Wow, were we surprised. Nothing fancy but much better than many of the reviews would indicate. The person that checked in... More

This is the best motel in have stayed at in the Albany area. The room is a great value. Rooms have recently been refurbished. It's location is close to downtown and in a quiet neighborhood. Not far from Crossgates Mall and restaurant row on Central Ave.

I spent a month at this hotel while doing a construction job. It was perfect for my needs - not exceptionally fancy, but definitely adequate and the price was right. Originally, I just needed a hotel I could check into on a walk-in basis, inspect, and make a decision. I decided to stay. The hotel offered all the basics. Two... More

Back again, this time for the Tom Petty show. Drove about 40 minutes to SPAC. Rooms were clean and staff was helpful. Good, inexpensive overnight stay.

I am stayed in Red Carpet Inn Albany NY 12204. This is the worst place to live . No cleanliness, internet service is horrible. Staffs are non cooperative , Stinking rooms. Manager never react to the issues reported. I simply wasted my money and time in this place. Transportation is also very very bad from this place.

Just horrible. Numerous stains on the carpet, hair all over the sink and counter, shower was rusty/moldy/gross, pretty sure the bedding was just reused. Extremely sketchy long term residents wondering around. I can't believe it passes health inspection. I'm embarrassed that I didn't leave after 5 minutes.
