Top Empire State Plaza Convention Center Hotel Reviews

The Morgan State House

10/10 Excellent

"The historical ambiance of the house was so stunning! We used the 4th floor room, which was huge, and beautifully decorated. The only down side was no elevator, so dragging a 50 lb suitcase up 4 flights of stairs is no easy task! Even though, I still would absolutely recommend this property!!"

Hilton Albany

8/10 Good

"Good location for capital, slight walk to restaurants. Rooms modern, but bathrooms older (toilets, shower/tub). Restaurant not always open for dinner, but food available in bar."

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."
