Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Albany/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean, very friendly staff"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Downtown Albany New York

8/10 Good

"This hotel is very conveniently located off the expressway and in proximity to MVP Arena. My room was clean and tidy but extremely cold. I first attempted to raise the temp myself using the thermostat. While I was able to manipulate the temp and the fan on the screen, it had no effect on the room condition. I tried calling down to the check in desk but the phone rang continuously without answer. I went down in person and explained the situation and the clerk said she would let maintenance know. After 20 minutes went by, I went back down to try again. She seemed surprised that no one had been by so she tried calling maintenance again. She assured me that someone would be by soon. While I waited for maintenance, I sat by the open window to let someone of the outdoor warmth inside. Finally, the maintenance man came by and was working on things in the ceiling. After about 10 minutes he said he fixed things because he saw the room temp had risen by 1 degree so he left. 30 minutes later, the room temp had not risen anymore so I resigned myself to keeping the window open and hope that by the time I returned from the concert, the room might be tolerable. 4 hours later and it had risen another 3 degrees. I ended up sleeping in sweats to keep warm. But, if it hadn’t been so cold in my room, I would have thoroughly enjoyed my stay there"
