Wonderful

It was a nice enough hotel but for the rating and price (relative to other hotels in the area), I was expecting much more. The staff was mediocre, not particularly professional or friendly. Probably would not stay there again.
Clean, beautiful rooms, and incredibly hospitable staff, a convenient snack and drink bar in the lobby. You can’t ask for much more when passing through a small town like Albany. Great views from the room, comfy beds. You won’t be disappointed.
walking distance to mvp which was our reason for staying.

Uncomfortable, short-staff, don’t recommend
Front desk staff not available-waited long to check-in. When finally helped, Reserved room was unavailable at check-in. Put in accessible room, assured there was no difference-bed was so low and so uncomfortable-very hard to get in and out of and move around in-physically hurt when tried to get in due to hard bed frame unavoidable; worst hotel experience/bed. Restaurant short-staffed-many open tables but told the wait was over an hour for 2. Way over-priced ($300) for that experience. Would not stay again. Only parking available cost $.
