Hilton Albany

8/10 Good

"The room was great, the staff very helpful. But due to scheduling we just checked in, went to bed, woke up very early and left using the hotel shuttle."

Hilton Garden Inn Albany Medical Center

8/10 Good

"The Hotel was a decent hotel for a one night stay. The room was very spacious and clean. The area was a bit busy because it's near the hospital, but it was convenient for us to travel to where we needed to. The parking was a bit complicated because of how people parked but overall it was a nice hotel."

"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."
