Red Carpet Inn Albany

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Confortable beds
  : Lack of security, street gangs in the hotel, drug dealers around the hotel and people looking insode the garbage. I felt a lot of fear with my girlfriend

Poor
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : Price and location
  : So many sketchy people around. Receptionist was very guarded, like I would try to cheat her out of paying for the room. Place was decent but fridge so loud I just unplugged it. Smelled slightly of smoke though a non smoking room

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : The morning staff gave us back our money for one of two rooms when we explained the various problems of the hotel and why our experience sucked.
  : - Weird, scary people hanging around all night, the hotel is in a shady part of town- We rented two rooms. They were both disgusting. One of them had enormous marks of mold on the ceiling, the other had spider webs, dust, red marks (lipstick ? Blood ?) on the bedsheet, and a mark on the door to the bathroom : someone must have punched it or tried to break it. I've never seen this before. - In one of the rooms, there was a horrible smell of marijuana, so much so it was impossible to sleep there. In the morning, staff told us all the rooms were connected through the air vents in the bathrooms, meaning you can smell drugs if other tenants smoke them (and they do)- The A/C didn't work in one of the rooms. The shower curtain was disgusting in one of the rooms and the handle on which it's fixed was broken.- Empty beer bottles left in front of the rooms, nobody picked them up or cleaned them.- Shortly after our arrival, we told the night clerck we couldn't sleep in one of the rooms because of the smell (and we didn't feel safe because of the other tenants). He was rude, didn't care and didn't offer any solution, he simply grunted we needed to speak to the manager in the morning.- Saw a man smoking probably crack in the laundry room when we left (definitely not cigarettes)Do NOT go there, especially if you have kids. This hotel needs to be transformed from the ground up : you won't feel safe, it's dirty, and it smells horribly.After all these negative coments from all travelers I dont even understand how booking.com can keep this terrible hotel online.

Poor
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Near stewarts and dunkin. A/C worked good
  : Broken crack pipe got stuck in my man shoe, broken beer bottles on the ground, drug deals all hours of the night banging on peoples doors and extremely loud, boarded up windows and door, broken windows, cops in and out riping apart peoples rooms, needles and trash outside on the ground, hair in bathtub and on toilet, cigg butt left in room, room stunk

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Room was a decent size. Staff seemed decent.
  : It was a non-smoking room and I have never smoked. Yet the room stank of smoke to the extent that I had to wash clothes in my suitcase that I hadn't worn before wearing them again because of the smell of smoke.

Very Poor
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Prostitution, drug addicts/use.

Fair
Traveller Type:
  : The price was good and the location was good
  : The room smelled like rotten meat when we walked in. There were cigarette burns all over the room. The ac worked great but it was so loud. When we were pulling in the coroner was there taking a body out of the room 6 doors down from us. The people 3 rooms down from us were smoking crack. The room around the corner from us was selling drugs.

Very Good
Traveller Type:
  : Being able to park right outside our door is essential to an elderly person. Not having to go through a lobby or down long halls with your luggage was wonderful. The staff kept the room in very good order and even brought a handicap shower chair when requested.
  : We could not get the TV to work and had to call for several people to help. At 7:20 at night the TV would turn itself on to the adult channel which we found very offensive!

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : Drug deals, weird people around your vehicles, was so scary we left, our show was canceled we weren't in the room 3 hours, no kind of reimbursement

Poor
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : The staff at check-in was very friendly.
  : Families live in this motel. The rooms on both sides of me were occupied - the people on one side were yelling until midnight and on the other they were slamming doors and screaming at each other at 5 AM. They should definitely contain these families in one area and reserve nightly rentals in a separate location. I mean I did only get five hours of sleep so that didnt help, but the mattresses were like sleeping on concrete.
