Top hotels in Helderberg
Hyatt Place Albany/Downtown
It was a clean room with a beautiful view of downtown at least from my room. Very close to a lot going on downtown. Big negative is paying to park!

Hilton Albany
Breakfast was decent. Omelet bar was good. Service to get coffee/water was very slow. The Starbucks in the hotel was no longer there. My room did not have working a/c, broken refrigerator and shower head.

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Albany Airport
I needed a place to sleep for the night. There were places nearby for more than twice the price. This was a clean room, and I saved some cash. It exceeded my expectations.

Hampton Inn & Suites Albany Airport
Fix your fire alarms! Why are they so close to the bathroom?!?!? Your water doesn’t even get as hot as I like it and it STILL was able to set off the fire alarm and the fire department showed up while I was STILL nak*d and doing my hair. Not the relaxing morning I was hoping for.
