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!"

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."
