Top Empire State Plaza Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Albany/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and well maintained, staff was extremely helpful and went above and beyond"

Hilton Albany

8/10 Good

"Hotel was nice but for the cost of the room it could have been better. Parking garage not the most convenient and I'm not sure what the smell was in our hallway, but it smelled like fishy water??? Also, for the cost you would think they could at least provide some type of complementary breakfast options"

Renaissance Albany Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was absolutely beautiful. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The property is amazing and the proximity to all the government offices is perfect."

The Morgan State House

8/10 Good

"Gorgeous turn of the century building in a wonderful neighborhood."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Albany Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I wish I could remember the Staffs names but every staff member was helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable about the hotel and surrounding area. The room was spotless. The bed was cloud soft. Everything was wonderful. Your team deserves a lot of praise for how well maintained the hotel is and how special they make the guests feel."

Trendy Parkside 2-bedroom with Private Entrance

8/10 Good

"Not the best location for the lock box key, had to climb into the garden and around the bushes to get it , and did not know that the key was for the doors right on the other side of that wall because the address given on the listing was not the number that was on the doors. Other than that the place was very clean, had issues connecting to the internet even with the hosts descriptions by text. Nice park across the street."

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."
