5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

The Hotel is on a hill overlooking the Hudson River and Albany skyline, an easy drive to downtown Rensselaer, Albany or Troy. Three story building served by a single elevator but we didn't find that a problem. The room was spacious and clean, 32" LCD, hair dryer, coffee maker, iron/ board, two phones, clock radio but no mini-fridge or room... More

Nice rooms and the friendliest service possible. The staff is accomodating, especially John at the front desk. He booked us a free shuttle to the train station and also found us parking accomodations during our three days in New York. Breakfast is very good, the hotel is close to a shopping mall and just off the highway. A wonderful stop... More

I'm in Albany for 2 months for work. This place is top notch. The service is awesome. Staying in room 317 its has a wonderful view looking over downtown Albany. 42 LG hi-def TV also makes stay much easier. Shopping blocks away. Walmart Target etc. All in all a nice place to stay. :0) More

We stayed here on the first really hot day of the year. The a/c was not working in our room. The front desk clerk came to look at it, but had no solution. He said he could give us a $15 credit on the room. In addition, the hall, and our non smoking room, smelled strongly of cigarettes. The carpets... More

Stayed here for one night while on business in Albany. The rooms are pretty basic BUT have everything you need for a decent nights sleep, at a very competitive price. My room was huge (king deluxe) and had a great view over Albany at night. Complimentary breakfast the next morning was a nice touch. Sure, it's not the most luxurious... More

Stayed here on business a couple of weeks ago. Have stayed here many times each March. 1st review. Checkin: I'm a Priority Platinum Member - check in took 2 minutes - didn't get the room requested (king bed - all rooms are non-smoke). I didn't get an upgrade either. They stuck me in a handicap room with a shower with... More

I've stayed at this property several times. It is very clean and not far from Downtown Albany. It has an excellent skyline view of Albany on a clear night. More

I stayed here while on business. The hotel was a standard Holiday inn Express. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. The biggest perk to me was the fact that the property gives you access to the Planet Fitness about 1 mile down the road. Usually these properties and have two crappy treadmills, but the access to the... More

Stopped here last year when traveling to The Cape at Thanksgiving time. So satisfied stopped again this year. Comfortable room. Arrived too late for the pool. Next year will try to arrive earlier to take advantage of the hot tub. Above average toiletries provide compared to other Holiday Inns. Not your average complimentary continental breakfast. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, plus pastries,... More
