Best Two Star Hotels in Troy

Business hotel, the room is small, very clean, buffet breakfast is relatively simple, not far from the university and student dormitory.

The mansion was truly a “home away from home” with comfortable beds and amenities! Tina, the owner, is a wonderful host and cooks the best breakfast meals and offers a variety of snacks that one can access 24/7! There’s no check-in or check-out time and we got our own designated parking spot and designated bathroom! She’s also an excellent conversationalist and we learned a lot from her from the mansion’s history, the city of Troy, places to visit, and even vacation destinations and tips! The house doesn’t have the luxuries that hotel chains offer but the old charm and exquisite architectural and historical details of the old mansion PLUS the wonderful service Tina offers surely exceeded our expectations! We are actually planning on staying there again this coming weekend with our children this time! - Rufino and Lizza

Lovely mid-range hotel on the Hudson and close to everything in Troy -- easy access to restaurants, farmers market and the highway. Lots of parking spaces. Picked a room with waterfront views. Normal sized room with sofa. Big bathroom with walk in shower. Fridge, coffee maker etc. Bistro downstairs offers breakfast (paid) and dinner, however i did not eat there so cant comment. Lobby area is nice and open (glass with view on the hudson). Best feature for me was the ability to walk to town and try one of the many good restaurants. Troy itself has a bit of quirky to it and wonderful architecture. Felt safe walking back at night.

The room with breakfast was booked but received 20 dollars for breakfast for two days at the checkout. I called Trip.com 5 times and still didn't return it to me.

My college roommate and I stayed with John during the Belmont Stakes race weekend in Saratoga Springs (about 20 minutes north). John's Inn is super cozy and cool and chock full of interesting art and do dads (like a museum). The outdoor area is super well tended, with flowers and more art. Being the oasis that it is, chipmunks and rabbits and birds run / fly around his back patio / seating area. The bedroom we booked, had two twin beds that were super comfortable and the best pillows that I've had anywhere (feather pillows that were not too stuffed or empty). I slept like a baby both nights. Shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water. John's breakfast was spectacular (he varied it from day to day and each day was better than the last). You can sit outside on his patio, which we did, but one day we just sat around the island in his kitchen and ate with John and the other guests, while John cooked and we all chatted. Felt like home. His super chill, very sweet dogs (two rescue greyhounds) hung out and minded their own business but did enjoy being patted as well. John is an extremely gracious host and you will be very happy if you take my advice and give The Garden Farm Inn a try. Cheers and thanks for a fine weekend John. I'll be back with my daughter one day. Larry S
