The bed was dirty with hairs in it, and the overall room cleanliness was just average. My checkout time was at 11 a.m., but I was locked out of my room at 9 a.m. I had to go back and forth to the service desk multiple times to get the door key validated until 11 a.m. The breakfast was mediocre, offering only standard options like bagels and muffins, which weren’t fresh and seemed to be leftovers from previous days.

Lots of potential and remodeling is in progress. However, checkin was delayed an hour, the room was dirty, and the commercial dumpsters for the adjacent shopping center are emptied at 3:00am.

Under construction. Water damaged room.
The Inn is under construction. The room was damaged and smelled like mold. Ceiling was stained by a roof leak. The toilet ran and ran. No breakfast as advertised. No food there at all. Roosters making lots of noise early in the morning. Front desk person was in a foul mood.

The lady at the front desk was very nice though for some reason they could not find my reservation which I showed her proof several times (the receipt on orbitz, my debit card charge, the text message and email) after about 30 minutes she finally let me into a room. Which was not what I booked but I let it go cause of the hurricane and the room was dirty and had centipedes in the bathroom killed a few. Then at 730 am we are awoken by a phone call which we didn’t get to in time we figured it was a wrong number. Then when we finally get back to sleep we get banging on our door at 8am demanding we give them our debit card to pay for the room which I told them I had showed her I already paid for her and gave her all my info showing it WAS PAID. I wouldn’t stay here again just the rudeness of being woke up so early would be a reason I wouldn’t stay 2/10

The cleanliness was on point. But they can keep the chicken and roosters all over the premises. Along with the chickens comes the flies!

This is a very historic hotel in Albany and I’m pleased to see it’s getting some TLC with new ownership. The Manor House Pub is a must visit with Allen and Joel being staples that bring me back year after year!

Pool was out of service and that was one of the main reason we chose Merry Acres. The A/C unit in our room was dismal at best. Coffee maker in our room took FOREVER to make one cup and then overflowed. Upon arrival, the ice bucket had melted water in it from previous usage. The complimentary breakfast is basically frozen food that must be microwaved. Nothing freshly made. The television is to small for the size of the room. On a positive note, the water pressure in the shower was perfect. Property definitely needs upgrading!

From the reviews and pictures I was expecting a pretty little inn off that held wedding receptions, etc. The pictures are very misleading. The "Inn" is on a main road, and the rooms are behind the main inn picture in a motor court style. There is a lot of construction going on. The room had a sticky floor and the bathroom tub had at least 2 different layers of peeling paint, a leaking faucet, as well as water damage to the door and surrounding areas. There was no closet door and I could hear the people in the adjacent room. There was not a good seal on the main door to the room so light and air streamed in. The cherry on top was the ROOSTER and other chickens living on the property that woke me up around 5:30 am each morning. The hotel was a stop to break up a trip I had to make from FL to AL, otherwise I would have left after the first night.

When we arrived the office was under construction and it wasn't convenient to register. The pool was also under construction and were not able to use it. There was no prior notice of the construction. The king bed was comfortable but the room was in need of updates. It was also not as clean as you would expect for the price. Two roosters and many chickens roamed the property which didn't bother us but I can see how some people would object. The location was close to a very nice brewery and the Flint River park.
