We were in Troy for a wedding and this hotel couldn't have been in a better location. Everything is within walking distance… restaurants, the historic town, the Hudson River. The hotel itself is comfortable and super clean. I would recommend it for anyone staying in Troy.

Testimonials:

Testimonials icon
"My middle school band and I have been extremely pleased with the service we received from your company. I had many choices for hotels very quickly and the hotels I considered were all excellent. Even after I selected our hotel, your agents stayed in contact with me periodically and even arranged a free upgrade of my room to a suite! What a nice surprise! I plan to book my next trip through them and would highly recommend them to my friends for their group travel plans. Thanks for a great experience." C.C. - Grove Hill, AL
