Hilton Albany
It took 50 minutes to check in, a long line, and not enough staff. When I was leaving, the elevators were full, so after 5 minutes I walked down with my luggage. I understand they had a big group, but if they are having one, they should be prepared.

Albany Retreat- Free Breakfast & Parking Included
It was clean and cheap. My room didn't have any hangers, garbage can, phone and shampoo. The TV was small and didn't have a clear picture. The counter top in the bathroom was about mid thigh height and I'm only 5 foot 8. I wouldn't stay here again even if they paid me.
