It is a nice place, not much going on. Not many amenities. They have a big place, no swimming, or nice place to enjoy. It is just very quiet.

As a food & beverage professional the property and dining atmosphere was excellent! The meals we had were above average (2breakfast,1 dinner). Daily parking fee was unexpected but understandable for the convenience of being downtown.😎

The staff was helpful and respectful. The property was elegant and well-appointed. I was especially grateful after leaving another property, due to my asthma and their disrespect. Renaissance was a delight.

Classy and Beautiful
The Renaissance is a beautiful, elegant hotel. It is conveniently attached to the Albany Convention Center via a walkway that also extends to the MVP arena making events at either location easy to get to. The hotel is subdued and impeccably clean. A few photos on the lobby attached.

Nice enough.. the hotel restaurant Wellington was not well staffed and took a ridiculous amount of time for us to get served. The dinner choices we had were tasty however breakfast was definitely subpar… overcooked eggs, burnt fingerling potatoes and chewy bacon. Very disappointing considering the cost of the room and restaurant pricing. Staff were courteous. Would stay again but do not recommend the restaurant.
