Clean room and bathroom. The staff was amazingly friendly. Check-in/out process is quick and easy. Plenty of parking available for you and other guests. The pantry/mini mart is fully stocked if you need a midnight snack or toothpaste. The facility could put more effort into making sure that the breakfast is fully stocked. Even though there was still more than an hour before breakfast ended, most options were no longer available or just left to a mess by rude guests. Speaking of guests, while the walls seem thick, the doors aren't. Expect to have your sleep disturbed by the guests and their kids running and cackling around in the hallways.
After driving for five hours to get to Albany, we parked in front of the Best Western/University area were we had a reservation made in October 2017. The problem was that the Best Western has been closed and they lacked common sense and courtesy to announce us. We called Orbitz and two wonderful staff ladies worked together with the Hampton Inn reception and were able to accommodate us. Kudos to the two ladies from Orbitz. Thank you.
My daughter and I had a great stay! The beds were so comfortable. Homemade cookies were like Grandma's. Lots of smiling staff!
The hotel staff was helpful, friendly and professional. Registration was quick and easy. Room was very clean and quiet. Convenient to UAlbany.
We stayed overnight with kids during vacation travel. It was a quick overnight stay and we were really happy with the hotel. The facility was fresh and clean. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was a little nicer than some other places' included breakfast. Rooms were comfortable. Overall, very happy and would stay again!
Hotel was clean, comfortable and the staff was over the top friendly and helpful- highly recommend!
It was great, clean and awesome staff. I went alone and staff made me feel safe.
We were greeted by a friendly face. Checkin was a breeze. The hotel was immaculate. Breakfast was great except the choices for a kosher diabetic were very, very limited. They had a gym, an indoor pool. The grounds were manicured and the location couldn't have been better for our purposes!
Hotel was so clean smelt nice and the breakfast was so good and to s of choices. Only complaint is the swimming pool. It is not made for adults. The deep end is only 5 ft 8 inches deep and the length wasnt long at all. However with that being sad id stay here again.
Everything went perfectly well at this hotel. Very close to the SUNY-Albany campus and a few minutes drive to various restaurants; a few miles from downtown. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Pool is big enough to swim a few strokes across; no hot tub.
stay was excellent, breakfast was good, room was spotless.
Very nice hotel. We especially liked the breakfast, and the room was really quiet.
It's where I stay when I visit my college boy. Very accommodating staff and I recently got an upgrade due to my many visits.
The staffs are friendly. The breakfast was decent. Only the soap provided in the hotel rooms could be better.
The beds & pillows were comfortable & the room came with a 'frig, m'wave coffeemaker. What more could you expect! Bkfst was great & the staff was friendly & helpful. The hotel was quiet,too. My daughter & I settled in to relax & then had an ice cream urge-they had Ben & Jerry's available in their store. Perfect!!
We visit our family in Albany every year in October. and always stay at the Holiday Inn Express Western Ave Albany. It is a very comfortable and the Breakfast are very good. Thank you very much.
Can't say enough good things about this hotel. Perfect location just across from the University--and right between Starbucks and Five Guys, to boot! Spacious, bright room--clean enough that I thought I might have been the first to use it. Big bright bathroom. Free wi fi, free parking, free (full) breakfast. They had an impromptu free barbecue for guests one afternoon. Incredible pantry/gift shop with freezers full of microwave dinners and gourmet ice creams. Will definitely stay there again.
The hotel was very pleasant ,clean and staff was very helpful.
From the moment we walked in the place, our stay was pleasant. The staff was friendly, informative, and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, and new. Would recommend this hotel.
The hotel was a great value for the money. New, clean, and comfortable. There is a great breakfast - fruit, eggs, hot breakfast meats, pancakes, assorted breads/breakfast rolls. Free USA Today was a great perk and the 24 hour "convenience store" in the hotel was nice. We also enjoyed the work out room. The staff was really nice and helpful. The only complaints we had (and why the hotel received a 4 not 5 star rating) was that the shower wouldn't drain properly so that was annoying and that the AC was super loud and clunky (we were in room 440). Also it was annoying that the pool was closed. Otherwise everything else was really great and we would stay again, especially considering the great price and the newness of the hotel.
