Hyatt Place Albany/Downtown
This hotel is only 2yrs old and seems very clean and nice. The staff has been unfailingly nice and helpful. There is also a brewery next door that was fun. Very pleased with our stay so far.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Downtown Albany New York
Check in, check out was simple. When checking in on Friday afternoon, the girl who took care of us (I didn’t get her name) was exceptional! Helpful and cheery. Room was clean and breakfast was excellent. All in all, I can’t wait to come back to stay again!

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Albany Downtown
Good hotel for a business trip. Breakfast was on time and hot. Room was clean and the beds were a good firmness for me. Internet speed and coverage was good. The only odd thing was the toilet.... It was elongated (must have) but it was pretty low to the ground... Lower than any toliet in a hotel ...
