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.
