    Good value for money and the location is great- if a little dated.

    Noticeably older looking than photos display. It seemed that there might have been an renovation/update to part of the facilities but not all- that’s just my impression. I didn’t appreciate being put into a room with an adjoining room as a solo female traveler especially on night two when the adjoining guest tried to open the door between the rooms.

    Good location near downtown center of Troy. Very clean. Breakfast was standard bland hotel food, but warm and a lot of variety and options whatever your food needs (veg. Etc…) I didn’t interact with the staff a lot- but when I did they were polite and friendly.

    The grey walls. Not all greys are equal. Sherwin Williams- Agreeable Grey may have been a better choice, it’s softer, warmer, and inviting. The hot food, at breakfast, wasn’t hot. The mattress was okay, but very springy, it could have been more comfy.

    I liked the ease of access, even on the 3rd floor. The pharmacopia products were so good! The fresh look and the music in the lobby - gay vibes. We appreciated the lower cost on this trip. We had looked previously and saw $300-$400 a room mid-summer. Smh.

    The heat was very dry so we had to keep the temperature down to be comfortable. Also the TV would quit randomly while watching at night. The shower could use a bar to grab because the floor was slippery so you had to be careful. We are both 70 so a bar to grab inside would have been helpful because grabbing the door handle only made the door open so no stability.

    I liked the location only 10 minutes away from family. Breakfast was good. The staff at check in upgraded our room with a shower instead of a tub because the last Holiday Inn we stayed at in Virginia the night before had a tub/shower combo that was not flat and we both almost fell because it was slippery and bowed at the bottom very narrow.

    The parking lot was filled and I needed to park my car across the street at a different business center. Just because of the location, I was worried my car would be broken into.

    Breakfast was good, satisfied what it needed to (had pancakes, potatoes, sausages, a variety of cereals, etc. Check-in was relatively painless, room was clean enough for the one night.

    I feel the front desk staff could of been a little more helpful/pleasant - Staff didn’t greet patrons as they came & went We stopped at the front desk twice & the staff did the bare minimum -certainly no above & beyond here - on one occasion- the staff appeared to be texting- she did not respond to a question we asked- never looked up & walked away without a response at all ?! It’s too bad b/c it is a beautiful hotel I’ve stayed at hotels in the past that cost a lot less than Troy BW - were not updated or remodeled- but the staff was amazing- I’d almost rather stay there & deal w pleasant/friendly staff

    The hotel appears to be newly renovated The atmosphere was very pleasant The rooms were clean I will definitely return to this location
