Loved the hot tub and fireplace in the room, 2 tvs as well. We enjoyed the pool, Jacuzzi and sauna. We have stayed there twice for long weekends and will definitely be going back for a nice getaway. HIGHLY recommend getting the hot tub and fireplace room and HIGHLY recommend going to Howe's Caverns ...

Hyatt Place Albany/Downtown
Room was like brand new, comfortable bed, breakfast buffet had lots of choices. Only downside was parking which required a short walk from a nearby parking lot which was $10 per day. The weather was good, but if was raining or snowing it would be a pain
