My recent stay at the Hilton Albany was average overall. While the hotel is conveniently located, the experience left something to be desired. I stayed on the 13th floor, and the room itself was basic nothing particularly noteworthy about the furnishings or amenities. Additionally, I noticed that the room was a bit drafty, which made it slightly uncomfortable, especially in the evenings. The breakfast options were also limited, which was disappointing considering the hotel’s reputation. I would have expected a more varied selection, especially for the price point. That said, the staff were polite and efficient during check-in and check-out, and the common areas were clean and well-maintained. While my stay was not unpleasant, I don’t feel it stood out as a memorable experience. If you’re looking for a convenient place to stay in Albany without high expectations, this hotel could work, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

The refrigerator wasn’t defrosted. There were only 2 towels when I booked room for 2 adults.Hallways needed carpets cleaned. The restaurant hours were very limited. I had charges on my bill at checkout that I did not incur and am still waiting for a resolution.

Stayed here this last weekend for an overnight trip with my kids. The check in was quick and easy but we were not given any information. We asked about the hotel restaurant for dinner as we were in a rush to make a show time. We were told it “might be quick”. We sat in the bar area for over ten mins before we even saw anyone who worked there. Many other patrons were already waiting longer. None of the other worker for the front wanted to help figure out where the restaurant staff was. We then found our room and walked through a hallway of dirty dishes including full glasses of wine lining the halls. Our room was tidy but not clean. The beds were comfortable. The next morning the halls were still lined with the same dirty dishes. I attempted to take my kids swimming early as they were excited that the pool opened early , but when we got there the water was cold and the room was 68 degrees. Definitely tried but were shivering and cold within minutes. I asked the staff if this was the normal temp and they told me they would alert maintenance. We were told to try back soon , no apologies offered. An hour later the temp was the same and we checked out . The people working tried their best but clearly they are not trained in hospitality and were very very understaffed - which is not their fault .
