This used to be the premier accommodation site in Albany, and retains its 1960's charm. The staff are friendly and the rooms adequate. The only downside is the continental breakfast, which could be a bit more diverse.

The staff is wonderful! Beds are comfortable. The room was clean except the floor. After only a couple minutes in stocking feet my socks were totally soiled. Im 5'3" and I could not reach your closet hanging bar, it is ridiculously high. You should sit in the bathtub to see the view, bare 2x4's visible under the counter.
