The overall property was OK. It is not in great condition, but it was fine. However, the front desk staff a check in and throughout a visit was extremely unfriendly and not helpful at all. We felt like we were a bother and not customers. We will not stay there again.

I’ve lived in Latham for years and, while dealing with a home repair, I booked a night at The Century House—partly for convenience and partly out of curiosity. Sadly, the experience was very disappointing and not worth the $150+ per night price tag. At check-in, I was greeted by a front desk woman (I believe her name was Za—a heavier-set, middle-aged woman) who was shockingly rude and condescending. I asked whether debit cards were accepted for incidentals—a common question—and she replied sarcastically, “If you have no money on it, then no.” It was unnecessarily insulting and set an uncomfortable tone for my stay. I tried not to take it personally, but professionalism should be standard in hospitality. The first room I was given smelled strongly of mildew, had stained furniture, non-working AC, and felt totally neglected. I called the desk and was moved to a better room, which I appreciated, but the damage was done. In hindsight, I should’ve booked the Hampton Inn or Hotel Trilogy. I wanted to support a local, historic spot—but I won’t be returning or recommending it. Had Za been even remotely polite, I might’ve overlooked the room issues. But when bad service meets poor upkeep, it leaves a lasting impression—and not a good one. I’m honestly baffled by the positive reviews. Maybe they’re from wedding guests or nostalgic diners, but my experience was far from pleasant

it was very nice but dated. I also thought paper plates and plastic forks and spoons were disappointing for breakfast, although the food was nice with a good selection! People were polite. There were cookies in reception when we arrived, which was very nice. We were passing through town and just needed a room, so it suited our purposes fine.

This is clearly an older hotel, but it has been remodeled and the rooms are quite spacious in comparison to what you find at a newer hotel in the area. We were on the first floor on the same side of the parking lot and it was so quiet! Beds were comfortable, room was clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast is included in the price of the room and was exceptional - great selection, great quality, wonderful service. We will stay here again!

The first impression entering the property are the potholes in the driveway and parking area. The lobby is nice enough, and at first glance, the room seemed nice. However, the room was extremely dusty. The bathroom mirror was coated in dust. There were hairs from previous guests on the bathroom counter. There were ants on the bathroom floor. And the pillows were the most astonishingly bad pillows I've seen in any hotel (or even motel) in my life. I've definitely had a better pillow at a Motel 6. I think this place could be reasonably nice if they put any effort into it, but that is evidently not happening.
