The Albany Renaissance is a nice hotel but seems to be on the brink of being neglected and becoming overwhelmed by many factors.!it’s in a great location has terrific parking and a good restaurant in Wellingtons. For me my stay was too expensive considering the state of everything. Comparable price level hotels offer far more in overall premises conditions, ambience and service .!I am not saying my services and interactions were bad but for what I paid more could have been offered.

Great location. Contrary to the hotel statement, there is no reliable shuttle to the airport from this hotel. When we asked for a ride for the following morning to the airport, we were told that if the shuttle driver will be around we can get a ride.

Comfort & Accessibility

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Renaissance Hotel in Albany, and I couldn’t have been more satisfied with my experience. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure that every aspect of my stay was comfortable. Their hospitality truly stood out and added to the overall positive experience. The hotel itself was impeccably clean, from the lobby to the guest rooms. It was evident that cleanliness and upkeep are a top priority, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was both modern and welcoming, offering a relaxing retreat after a busy day. Another major highlight was the hotel’s location—it was conveniently situated near all the places I needed to visit, making transportation effortless. Whether for business or leisure, this hotel offers an ideal spot to stay in Albany. Overall, I highly recommend the Renaissance Hotel Albany and will definitely be staying here again in the future!
