My daughter was moving to the Albany area and this hotel was amazing because we were able to park a 26 foot U-Haul easily in their parking lot and felt completely safe leaving everything there. The hotel was close to everything and we were able to find great food and have a good night after a long move.

Room for Improvement

My stay was ok. Room was convenient and comfortable. Excellent breakfast spread. The thermostat in the room didn’t help maintain a comfortable temperature, I alternated between heat snd cool to try to find a sweet spot. TV turned on automatically to “welcome” me after I had already gone to bed. Pool water looked cloudy so I avoided it, but had been planning to use it.
