Hilton Albany
It wasn’t stellar, but it was a good hotel. The room was modern. I couldn’t figure out the TV. I had to watch through my own account so I don’t think there was any TV included with the room, but the bed was clean and comfortable housekeeping was good. Front desk was good. Everyone was good.

Renaissance Albany Hotel
We loved our stay! The room was spacious, clean, and modern. We were there for an event at the convention center— loved that everything was easily accessible via the “sky walk,” and we could come and go as we pleased throughout the day.
