What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Hotel Impossible's Season 8 episode Rocky's Hot Tub Horror Show, which aired 2016-11-21, featured Cocca's Inn & Suites in Albany, New York. The address, 2 Wolf Rd, now operates as Super 8 by Wyndham Albany, according to Wyndham's own booking page, which returned an HTTP 200 response on 2026-09-09 with a last-modified date of 2026-09-08 and current 2026 page content. Hotel-industry booking listings, including a hotel.com.au property page and a Trivago listing, identify the address as formerly Cocca's Inn & Suites Wolf Road before it converted to the Super 8 flag around 2021.

Tripadvisor's current page for the property carries reviews updated through 2026, including one reviewer heading that references the property's earlier Cocca's name. The Wyndham page describes the 45-room motel as a two-star, budget-oriented property near Albany International Airport, and other listings note the building dates to the early 1960s with later renovations that did not change its original structure. No source reviewed here reported a change in ownership specifically tied to the franchise conversion, and none named a purchase price or new operator. The available evidence shows a straightforward rebrand from an independently named motel to a national franchise flag rather than a closure, with the Wyndham site's live, current-dated content confirming the address remains an operating budget motel roughly a decade after the Hotel Impossible episode documented hot-tub and maintenance problems there.
