Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

The Century House Latham - North Albany, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The place was convenient on a nice part of North Albany with all sorts of things to do around the area We had about a 25 to 30 minute ride to Saratoga Springs, which was fairly convenient and the race were more reasonable than up there I would definitely stay here again"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Clifton Park/Saratoga Area

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was not great! Personal covering breakfast area in way of self service. Wiping counters right under me. Knocked my coffee over on to my foot. Although very apologetic she should give patrons space to help themselves"

Hyatt Place Saratoga Malta

8/10 Good

"You have an amazing staff at the overworked check-in/bar/restaurant area. The day we checked in, 2 people were working an extremely busy time - serving guests drinks and food, checking in new arrivals, and cleaning up the area. The two young guys working during our evening there were definitely doing the work of at least 4 people. They still provided friendly, helpful customer service and cheerful dispositions. I don't know how they did it! Our room was spotless, beds were comfortable, good water pressure in the shower. The room felt FRIGID when we checked in, way too cold for comfort, so we were happy to find we could adjust the temp to our liking! We did have a problem with WiFi reception on our phones. Don't know what the issue was, but reception was very spotty - sometimes fast, sometimes at a crawl - better outside the building or near the front doors."
