Crowne Plaza Albany - The Desmond Hotel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

".."

Albany Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"If you’re the type of person who is looking for state-of-the-art accommodations for $50 a night, this IS NOT the place for you! However, the room was clean, and so was the bathroom. The sheets were also clean. It was a sufficient stop over to grab some sleep before continuing on the next day. Note: there was this funky BO/foot smell in the hall as soon as we stepped out of the elevator. Luckily, it did not seep into our room."

Hampton Inn & Suites Albany-Downtown

8/10 Good

"We had an enjoyable stay. What really made the difference was the staff at the front desk. I had damaged my car as I was pulling in to the parking lot. We had two cars, both loaded to the tiptop as we were on our way to move my daughter into her college apartment. The one I damaged was not drive-able. Triple A towed it. My son had to drive up from our home and we had to load everything into his car. The staff at the desk was so understanding and patient when I explained my dilemma. So appreciated and so helpful."
