3-Star Hotels in East Greenbush

I was a little hesitant to stay here after I'd read some recent reviews. I travel quite a bit and have stayed in a lot of hotels all over the world--from roadside trucker motels to fancy resorts. That said, I have not even the smallest negative thing to report about this hotel. The staff was INCREDIBLY friendly, thoughtful, polite, and kind. Even as we were sitting in the dining room the next morning, a random employee made suggestions about what his favorite items were from the buffet and he wasn't wrong. If they have the little mini quiches with spinach, they are good, get them! The entire hotel smelled fresh and clean when we walked in, check-in was fast. The rooms were just as described. Sure, some of the in-room furniture was likely on the older side, but everything functioned as it should and everything was sparkling clean including the bed linens, the kitchenette in our room, and the bathroom. The bathroom water pressure was great. The pool was nice and clean. I have a small dog and he was able to stay with me which was lovely. The grounds are adequate for taking dogs on short walks. The free breakfast was well stocked with options and the dining room was so cozy with the holiday decorations and tree and even holiday movies playing. Overall, my quick stay visiting friends was made extra special by staying at the Residence Inn in Greenbush--I have stayed at other places while visiting these friends, but from now on, I'm exclusively staying here. The location is so convenient, it's right off the highway but on a woodsy road where you can't hear any traffic. The neighboring businesses are tucked in an industrial park, so it's really quite and low key. The only thing that was lacking were clothes hangers in the closet. Our room only came with one. Not a huge deal since we only stayed overnight.

I called to make a reservation and was told check in is at 4. I said since we were there for an evening wedding, is there a way to check in sooner since we have to travel to get there and then get ready for a wedding, the girl said yes and to call the night before to be sure. I called the night before and talked to a different lady and she confirmed that we could get into a room by 1pm. Great!! We drove 2 hours to get there by about 12:45 and I went in to let her know we were there and were promised a room for 1pm. The lady at the desk said no way, won't be ready until 3. WHAT?? She knew I wasn't happy and said they shouldn't have promised me that. Well...they did - but somehow found us a room. We get the the room which is to the left of the lobby on the first floor. The room is dated, dark, and the carpet is stained. The bathroom wasn't as clean as it should have been. Now it's 11:30pm that night, we're tired and ready to sleep and there are WILD parties going on all through the wing we were in well into the wee hours of the morning. Loud talking, laughter, doors slamming, people talking in the halls wandering room to room, bottles clanking. It was TERRIBLE! When we checked out I told the guy at the front desk about it and he said he wondered if the parties were going to be an issue. Really? How about DOING something about it?? I would never recommend this place.

One of the nicest Hampton Inns we have experienced. Staff was wonderfully helpful and accommodating. Rooms were spacious and clean. Great outdoor space with available grill and fire pit! Only complaint was that the pool area was not well ventilated. Marking this as a favorite for future stays in the area!
