"Clean, Comfy, Free Parking"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
We stayed one night for a wedding at the State Room. Hotel parking is free. We did not allow enough time for walking on a hot day so we drove to a parking garage. Would recommend walking. Room was clean and beds were comfortable.

Room was clean and so was the hotel. Plenty of parking. The breakfast was a nice variety and there was plenty of it. The pool area was clean and so was the fitness area. I would recommend this hotel if you are in the Albany area.
