Top Empire State Plaza Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Albany Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing, as usual. The key card did not work the first time we tried and they were absolutely apologetic and even sent a staff member back up with us to ensure the key worked that time. The room was immaculate and comfortable. Love the location as we are able to walk to any event we go to. Love this place! Only inconvenience and not a complaint, was there was only one elevator working. Again not a huge deal, just gave us a chance to meet some new people while we waited."

Hampton Inn & Suites Albany-Downtown

8/10 Good

"Although WAZE got us to the property we weren't sure we arrived at the right place. There is was no signage indicating we were at the Hampton Inn. Also, the valets are not at the front, they are in the back lot."

The Morgan State House

10/10 Excellent

"A Wonderful and Unique Stay I absolutely loved my stay at the Morgan State House! It has such a warm, welcoming, almost family-like atmosphere that makes it feel very different from a typical hotel. The service was excellent, personal, and genuinely friendly. I especially loved the character and history of the house. The beautiful historic architecture and elegant style give the property so much personality and charm. The location is also excellent and made my stay in Albany even more enjoyable. This is the kind of place you remember after a trip. Charming, historic, welcoming, and full of character. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!"

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."
