Top Albany Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Albany/SUNY Area

8/10 Good

"Overall stay was amazing"

Hampton Inn & Suites Albany-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was at 4 but we were able to check in a little early. Staff was friendly and helpful."

Red Roof Inn Albany Airport

8/10 Good

"Before I made reservations here I asked if they had a elevator. Anser was yes and they do. I then asked if they had luggage carts. Answer was yes and they don't. I am handicapped and can not carry luggage any distance. I ended up leaving the majority in my vehicle. Additonally the desk chair slipped out from under me and I hit my head on the wall and had to crawl to the bed to get up with quite a bit of difficulty. You should consider putting some kind of floor covering to prevent this happening to someone else."

Hilton Garden Inn Albany Airport

8/10 Good

"Nothing special… clean, convenient and safe."

Days Inn by Wyndham Albany SUNY

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean, amenities stocked, good breakfast, great water pressure, staff very nice."
