Top Empire State Plaza Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Downtown Albany New York

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay."

The Morgan State House

10/10 Excellent

"Timeless comfort. Really enjoyed our recent stay at this beautiful inn. The location is perfect - near the park and Lark street. Walking distance to a great restaurant (Rain), a liquor store and a cosy bookshop. What more could you need? The host greeted us warmly and we were given run of the house. Then we went to our room…words fail me. We were on the top floor (an impressive number of stairs but worth every step). The room had gorgeous skylights, warm brick walls, tall ceilings and light, light and light. It was the perfect mix of historic homeyness and modern comforts. Everything was perfect and our only regret is that we only stayed one night."

Hilton Albany

WOW ★ Bright Apt ★ PRIME downtown Walk Everywhere

10/10 Excellent

"The space was perfect for a one night stay but could definitely serve as a multiple night visit. Quite an efficient space, too. Everything you need. Parking was easy and close. The neighborhood can be a bit loud at night but not too bad and nothing the host can do about it. Very convenient location to all government locations."
