Super 8 Schenectady Albany, Rotterdam

All we needed was a clean and decent room for the night. We were gravely disappointed. I'm not a picky person and I've never written a bad review anywhere. But I feel compelled to warn others about the conditions of this place. The first thing I noticed was how strangely small the room was. Barely enough room to walk around a single full size bed. Especially considering this was supposed to be a wheel chair accessible unit. I couldn't help but wonder how a person could possibly get into the bed from a wheel chair. Another thing that struck me as odd was the wheel chair accessible bathroom had a regular bath tub in it. Unless you are able to stand or step in and sit up on a stool in the shower, you would be out of luck there. Then I noticed a very old and small television in a cabinet above the closet in the corner of the room. Next to it was some trash from the previous guest. I’ve been in hospital rooms much more comfortable than this room. There was an iron in the closet with no board. There was absolutely no place to put toiletries, curling irons, or anything like that. It was very difficult getting the two of us showered and groomed. Now for the biggest horror of all. This is what prompted me to write this review at all. The comforter was not only stained, but I would be willing to bet it was a few years old and had never been washed. It had many stains from bodily fluids all over it, including feces! All else could have been forgiven if it weren’t for this obvious disregard for basic cleanliness. Then around 7am the hallway was filled with non-stop loud conversation. I thought it must have been a cleaning crew with no regard for sleeping guests. I was surprised when we went out to get our continental breakfast to see that it was the front desk clerk chatting it up with other guests at a high volume. There wasn’t much to the breakfast. We had to ask for bagels. But it was okay. It was set up in another tiny unoccupied room which I thought was odd. I will never go there again. You can pay the same for a clean and decent room many other places.
