Top Ray Charles Plaza Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Albany

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect for me. The food is very good. (Breakfast was included in my stay). Staff were extremely nice and friendly."

Merry Acres Inn

8/10 Good

"The property itself was nice. You can tell the rooms have been redone. The bed was comfortable and the ac worked well. The front desk when we checked in was helpful. Once we got settled in we realized we only had 1 towel. We asked for more and we had to follow up later again to actually get more. We had no coffee or cups in our room and had to ask for that too. The coffee maker didn’t even work. The breakfast was sufficient. Check out was easy. We would stay again despite the little problems."
