It is an older property, but it has been thoughtfully updated with a sympathetic eye to the period in which it was built with modern comfort in mind. There is a lot to love about this property, but one must give the highest ranking to the staff. They are attentive, engaged, and so very kind.

I used to live in Albany and this place is a landmark. It is one of the few remnants of the old "motor courts" of the late 40's - early 50's. The staff eagerly helps with the old southern style. After an evening with old friends, I had a to go plate. Forgot I didn't live here & did not ask for a plastic fork. A staff member named Shawn

If you like the sounds of constant roosters crowing in the morning, then this is the place for you. This reminded it of the scene from the movie “My Cousin Vinny”.

Motel setting with country vibe! Great restaurant- bar! Great service! Be prepared for a 4:30 wake up call by the 9+ roosters and one adorable cat!!

It’s a motel and nothing close to merry. This was so horribly bad that it became comical. I booked the “executive suite” (nothing suite about it - average size room) and they put us RIGHT next to the loud pub and registration building. Finally the pub noise dwindled down around 1am, but then roosters started at 3:30am and never stopped - only getting closer and closer to our room windows… After finally tuning them out and starting to relax a little, one of the workers started having a LOUD (actually yelling) conversation right by our window at 7:30am. And then housekeeping opened the door at 8am and again at 9am even after I said “no thank you!”. We gave up on sleep and had headaches the rest of the day, all for the price of $150. In summary: rude staff, misleading pictures, damp/old room, broken door handle, rooster and dog noises … the list goes on. The only single redeeming quality was the shower water pressure. That was actually impressively good. Otherwise, total ripoff.

The staff were friendly and efficient. We liked the chickens. However, the room was showing its age and seemed dirty and in poor repair. The "continental breakfast" was nearly non-existent and the coffee did not taste good.

Thanksgiving stay

The hotel was clean, had everything we needed, and was conveniently located. However, the roosters on the property woke us up at 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., and the surrounding neighbors in other rooms were very loud when they unloaded into their rooms around 11:00 p.m. Were it not for our very poor sleep we would have given a higher score.
