Stay was excellent, staff was friendly, room was clean and comfortable, only problem we had was finding the hotel there are no signs outside with hotel name.

I found the hotel to meet all of my needs for a business trip to the Capitol. The room was clean and furnished and had everything I needed. The area immediately surrounding the hotel is lacking in restaurants/services/activity, but the hotel now has a market with basics.

Plenty of parking. Room was clean and comfortable. Close to the main sports/concert arena and downtown. Ten minute walking distance to NYS buildings. Climate control in the room was not good.

Clean, safe, friendly staff, within walking distance of MVP arena. There is really not much around though if you are looking for shopping. Surrounding area was eerily quiet, although we were there on a Sunday night for an event at MVP. The name of the hotel has changed to Country Inn & Suites though- no longer Albany Hotel. This needs to be updated on the hotels.com app.

Fine place to stay.
Looked rough from the outside. Room itself was large and very nice. Shower was good and strong. Bed was okay. Receptionists were nice. No breakfast. Small hotel store was reasonably priced. Location was okay.

Highly recommended 👍
So clean I was impressed. Staff extremely friendly & helpful. Especially being disabled, staff went above & beyond to accommodate me. Management also put me on the highest floor for a great view. 🙂

Great find
Really nice hotel. Very clean, comfy, quiet and staff were polite and helpful. Close to downtown venue was a big decisive factor for us.
