For the money, there were low expectations. The parking lot was uneven with many potholes. The hallways were dark. The room was large but had many non working parts from the shower curtain to the lamps. We would try someplace else next time.

Parking lot has too many potholes. Breakfast staff is extremely unfriendly. Front desk staff was fine. Breakfast is extremely limited. Have to beg for a cup of coffee. The breakfast staff has a tips cup on serving desk. Those who tipped him get good service; those who didn’t tip him get poor service! ☹️

I would never stay here again. I booked this hotel for myself and my parent, and the service was absolutely terrible. They only provided two towels for three of us, and when I asked for more, the front desk guy told me I’d have to “wait until tomorrow.” That makes no sense, especially when I’m only staying one night. He was rude and completely unhelpful. The hotel recently changed its name from Ramada Albany to Albany Plaza, but the poor service is the same — if not worse. For the price they charge, you’d expect basic hospitality, but instead, you get attitude and excuses. Save your money and stay somewhere else.

Got exactly what I expected

I booked the Albany Plaza for 2 nights because it was cheap and available for a last minute holiday weekend trip. I expected a low budget experience and they delivered. It started with no cups in the room. I went to the front desk to ask about that and was promptly given some smallish cups out of a sleeve. Obviously they were expecting the question and weren't spending the extra bucks for individually wrapped cups. The next surprise was housekeeping not touching our room after the first night. The didn't need much, but it just didn't happen. So if you are ok with truly budget service don't fear this place. -cth
