Almost Perfect

Everything was pretty great. The AC was just very loud in the room. It made a loud thud that woke me up at 3:30 AM. I went back to sleep. There wasn't anything that I felt was worth complaining about.

Our Favorite Hotel in Albany, NY

The Hampton Inn on Western Avenue is where we always stay when we travel to Albany, NY. The location is super convenient. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The rooms are always spotlessly clean, and the beds are insanely comfortable. There is always a tray of cookies in the lobby, and a hearty breakfast in the morning. What’s not to love.
