The Argus Hotel & Cocktail Lounge

"My husband and I have stayed at the Argus hotel 3 years in a row and every time we stay it’s a comfortable welcoming experience. This time I forgot my charger in our room and Terra was kind to mail it to me. As a previous hotel I stayed and forgot my charger, I did not have the same experience and had to buy a new one. As we know these chargers now-a-days cost an arm and a leg and people will steal them unfortunately! I appreciate an honest trust worthy place to stay. My favorite spaces are the cocktail lounge and breakfast area. I also love the tucked away location. Quiet and peaceful. We will definitely be back this year during the summer! Thank you Terra!!"

"We had unexpected long layover in Albany and the Argus crew was nice enough to let us spend the afternoon sitting next to their fireplace. Great ambiance and very friendly staff. Will definitely be back!"

"The Argus is a beautiful hotel. Was very impressed with the location and affordability. My only concern is that we stayed here solely because of the cocktail lounge and could not use it due to a private event. I would have preferred if this information would have been given to us at the time of booking. We seemed to be the only guest at the time that were not a part of this group and would have stayed elsewhere if we were made aware of this information."

"Shockingly one of the best hotel experiences EVER! I never knew a gem like this existed in Albany seeing as it’s hard to find a nice place to stay around here for this price! The building was BEAUTIFUL. The owner has amazing taste everything in there was art down to the fridge and microwave! The art on the walls was so beautiful it made my stay even better just to look around the hotel.. I also loved how open the cocktail longue was and it felt like we had our own personal cocktail longue seeing as we were the only people there.. If you like more private areas surrounded by less people this hotel is definitely for you! It’s so much better than staying at some big commercial hotel where you are surrounded by people and noises. The night I stayed it was pouring rain and made the atmosphere BEAUTIFUL. I felt like I was in a different time period almost. Had a lot of fun chatting with the bartender and owners daughter was so sweet too! The staff there makes you feel so at home and welcome I was shocked bc I usually am trying to avoid staff at most places I stay but here they were so nice & cool. They were also extremely helpful when it came to anything we asked about! The vibe of the hotel is amazing if you like nice architecture, furniture and are into aesthetically pleasing environments. This is 100% the place to stay if you are ever staying in Albany! 10/10"

"The room we had was small and the walls were a little thin, but everything else was very nice and comfortable and it worked out great for the one night stay we had in Albany. Check in was smooth and the location could not be better, on a quiet side street that leads right into the beautiful Washington Park and an easy walk to Lark Street and Empire state plaza. Great value and would definitely recommend the Argus if you are visiting Albany!"
