Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was nice and clean, and I had made a reservation weeks in advance. The check-in process was smooth despite the hotel's size, and being a repeat visitor was a plus. However, the service was a bit lacking in attentiveness at times.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable despite being located on a busy and noisy secondary road. However, the absence of a fridge and microwave was a letdown. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff being professional and friendly while others were indifferent to our needs. The location was convenient for quick access to the expressway and our morning plans, but the proximity to the highway made it less private. The dining options were a hit and miss, with some dishes being disappointing and others exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was spacious and comfortable, offering a beautiful view of downtown Albany; however, being right beside the highway made it far too noisy to get a good night's sleep. The service was a bit hit or miss - some staff members were very friendly and welcoming, while others seemed more interested in watching TV than assisting guests. The location was convenient for quick access to downtown Albany, but the noise from the busy highway was a drawback. Overall, a decent stay with some notable positives and negatives.
