Top Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Hotel Reviews

Luxury Downtown w/Backyard by Franklin Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect spot in downtown Troy! Clean and wonderfully furnished, safe, quiet, and yet still close to everything! Tatyana was responsive and check in was easy! 5 stars!"

Courtyard by Marriott Albany Troy/Waterfront

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean and well maintained. The staff was professional and courteous. Also, it was walking distance to the Troy Music Hall for the concert we had booked."

The Ilium Suite 402 - River view Luxury Studio in Downtown Troy

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Walkable to most of the great restaurants and bars. Super clean and modern. Very responsive hosts. There is a great bar with a diverse/ fun crowd and events on the first floor."

5th and Grand Lovingly Restored Brownstone Troy NY Unit 2

10/10 Excellent

"We were in Troy to visit family at RPI and this was a perfect stay for us. The apartment was so clean and comfortable - very true to the photos. We loved the unique decor. April was extremely communicative and friendly and responded right away any time we reached out. We loved the location being able to walk to Dinosaur BBQ and the little bars down the street. I would definitely stay here again and recommended to family who visit here often. The only note is that there are fairly steep stairs to the apartment and three stairs down to the bathroom. This wasn’t a problem for us at all but might have been challenging if we had older family members with us as planned originally."

The Ilium Suite 406 - Luxury Studio in Downtown Troy

10/10 Excellent

"Exactly as pictured & described! Very clean and comfortable - exactly what we were looking for. Outside noise can sometimes be heard but the sound machine was a huge help to get to sleep."

5th and Grand - Lovingly Restored Brownstone Troy NY Unit 1

10/10 Excellent

"Smooth communication and great unit"
