Sketchy area, was a ghost town inside, they advertise food being available but the restaurant was absolutely deserted at dinner and breakfast. Paid for breakfast and there was no one there at all, front desk said I could order off the menu but it was clear that was going to be some sort of microwave situation bc there was NO ONE THERE. Nice lobby, nice gym, but I only saw one other woman there, it was all men and military. Front desk was nice when I interacted with them, but the hallway was under construction near my room, with room doors open. Wouldn’t stay there again, would probably find a less expensive, newer place in the Albany area?

Seems ok. Rooms were a bit small and the bathrooms smaller. Satellite TV wasn’t working too well and one of the elevators was out of service. Nothing great and nothing bad but not sure I’d visit again vs a Hampton inn instead.
