This was our fourth stay at the this hotel this year. Always clean and comfortable. Furniture was a bit old but bed was comfortable. Will be back again in august and throughout the school year for visiting our son in college.

This is not the newest or fanciest hotel in Albany, but it is certainly the friendliest. The staff, particularly Heather and Jenny, outdid themselves in taking care of our family reunion group! The room were comfy, breakfast was great, and the food in the grill was also just what we needed on occasional late night. We will certainly be back!

Looked closer to suny albany on the map...technically its on the edge but you have to walk 20 min to get to the school's buildings. Pretty standard best western as far as fanciness goes. The pool was actually very nice and the breakfast was awesome- tons of options. I could have eaten that for weeks. I didnt go to the... More

Just returned from my latest stay. This is a decent work a day hotel. It is clean, convenient and has the amenities that you want. The free breakfast is a nice bonus. I stayed in an accessible room. The bathroom was spacious with a roll in shower. When in Albany this space is worth a try,

The room location was along a noisey corridor. It was a major first floor hallway, near the management offices. Up until midnight I heard people talking and moving in hallway. The hotel staff was courtesous. The location to the Albany Airport was good.

Paid about $80 for one night and the hotel was not bad for the price. The location is convenient to local colleges, food, and a crossgate mall. The room was clean, reasonable size, microwave, refrigerator, flatscreen TV. Wireless was free but did not work well in the room - kept dropping out. The free breakfast was pretty good with lots...

I stopped and stayed on the way to visit my daughter at college. It was a great place to stop. Rooms were clean, quiet and staff was friendly. It's close to highway, restaurants and stores. I didn't use the pool but it looked nice. I ate at pub, it as good but a little pricey.

My family and I travel a lot. Our vacations are comprised of many types of accommodations. We stay at premium Disney resorts every February (we own DVC) and take short road trips two times per year where we stay in moderate hotels such as the Best Western. I was so very happy with our stay here. While some areas of... More

Our family was in town to cheer my son's Varsity Basketball Team, trip to State Federation Title at the Times Union Center, and did not want to stay downtown Albany, so stayed at the Best Western. It was very relaxing, spacious, and accommodating. We got in earlier than expected and the two females that checked us in, allowed us into... More
