    Great rooms, awesome service! I’ve been here now for a few different conferences/conventions, and every time this hotel never ceases to impress me.

    I've been coming here every November fior NYS Realtor meetings for over 10 years. A great facility with good food and a very unique atmosphere. Always enjoy it!

    Though this hotel is a part of history, it could still use some updating. More late night amenities in regards to kitchen closes too early, and everything just appears outdated!

    Best airport are hotel. You can stay on property and in the winter the indoors atrium is a nice break.

    Beautiful location ... But don't stay on first floor with window facing the parking lot!

    There are plenty of great places to eat nearby! Don't limit yourself to hotel food!

    I know they are going for a certain "feel" but the musty, mildew Grandmother house smell is going overboard.

    Someone from another hotel- which I will not say, said this was the best hotel in the entire Albany area....I'm thinking she shouldn't be in the hotel business. It looks like and smells like gramma.

    Quite possibly the creepiest looking hotel I have ever stayed at. It looks like it was designed by a 90 year old woman.

    Overpriced. Old. Reminds me old tacky Catskills-style conference center.
