Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Downtown Albany New York

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place."

Hampton Inn & Suites Albany-Downtown

8/10 Good

"The location was great, the staff very helpful, polite, professional, breakfast your usual expected continental, warmed, clean environment, the mattresses are not firm and supportive are aged not totally saggy yet aged"

Albany Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great value for the money. Bed was great. Only sparsely outfitted. Towels are at an extreme minimum and may not be the size you need. No kleenex, no coffee maker. no cups. Bring your own toiletries. Tons of parking. Staff is excellent. 6th floor smells. Stayed on the 5th floor 4 months ago and it was fine. Toilet seat was almost off and the shower rod was loose. In all fairness, this place was purchased in the last year or so and they are trying very hard to upgrade it and it is going to take time and money. I would still stay here again in a heartbeat. There are fast food and other restaurants within a mile and larger chains 10-12 min away. Very convenient to I-90."

Trendy Parkside 2-bedroom with Private Entrance

"Not the best location for the lock box key, had to climb into the garden and around the bushes to get it , and did not know that the key was for the doors right on the other side of that wall because the address given on the listing was not the number that was on the doors. Other than that the place was very clean, had issues connecting to the internet even with the hosts descriptions by text. Nice park across the street."

"The space was perfect for a one night stay but could definitely serve as a multiple night visit. Quite an efficient space, too. Everything you need. Parking was easy and close. The neighborhood can be a bit loud at night but not too bad and nothing the host can do about it. Very convenient location to all government locations."
