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.

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 ...
