Top Empire State Plaza Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Downtown Albany New York

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable beds, clean, climate controlled via wall thermostat and vent so no noisy, air-blasting under-window unit. Window opens a few inches too. Plenty of space. Toilet is adult height and non-slippery tub. Parking adequate. Location in area of bus depot and parking lots near expressway, a five+minute less than pleasant walk to anything but also not far from the main commercial street. My credit card was charged twice and it took several days of pleading with staff to get it fixed."

Hyatt Place Albany/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast, better that one expect of a typical Hyatt Places. Parking is not in the hotel premises, but in a private lot, for a hefty fee. So a bit misleading when they announce parking. Otherwise a very fine property, convenient access to state and interstate highway 87."

Albany Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Some people are whining about this place and giving it one star etc. but they need to be slapped. IT'S NOT THE RITZ. It's like 50% cheaper than the next highest hotel in the area and I got it last minute. ANd check it out... yes maybe a chair cushion had some loose threads but the room comes with: a microwave. a fridge. two desks. space. a perfectly comfortable bed. a spacious shower with high pressure warm water. Not a five star resort. But its perfectly suitable. Note, the free "breakfast" is kind of anemic. Just hard boiled eggs, bread, and coffee. But it's free."

Hilton Garden Inn Albany Medical Center

10/10 Excellent

"Nice Stay"

Renaissance Albany Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Food and serrvice excellent at Wellington"s their restaurant"
