Renaissance Albany Hotel,

144 State Street, Albany, NY 12207

"Very nice location with clean rooms and comfortable beds. Extremely like this location but they do charge $20 for parking. Would stay here again. There's a restaurant in the lobby of the hotel that makes delicious espresso martinis"

"Bizarre experience here. Very clean hotel, staff was at times rude but effective. Weirdly no ice buckets. My card didn’t get me in the front door after midnight. Totally crazy room layout - the couch is useless unless you need a pull out for your kids. Fine for a work trip but not very luxurious if you’re paying yourself. REALLY good towels. Chair is comically too low to sit at the “desk”. Very conflicted on this review but I’ve shared what I have."

"We had a fantastic experience when we rented a suite in a wedding block here. The staff was wonderful, even calling us ahead of time to let us know our room was ready for early check-in and let us know it was raining so they wanted to make sure we knew where the attached garage was. First class right there. The lobby, foyer and bar area are gorgeous with heavy dark wood and beautiful green marble. Are suite was very modern and beautiful. We had a group brunch in the library the next morning and that entire floor was also beautiful. The food was delicious, especially the potatoes. They were fluffy clouds of Heaven. The only reason I gave four stars for the room was the bed was too firm for us. We didn't sleep well and both woke with back aches. Also, all the ladies in our group laughed afterwards about the insane lack of lighting in the bathroom. We all struggle with our makeup before the wedding. That was definitely a man's design! Still, I highly recommend this hotel especially if you like a firm bed. I wish I had taken photos of how beautiful this place was. I live in the moment and always forget though."

"We were there for our sons wedding. We had a special room rate for guests. I must mention that all staff were accommodating and friendly especially Heather who was very helpful. We also enjoyed Natasha as a wait person Also must mention Anthony the driver who was friendly. There was free service from the airport. We had a wonderful stay. Loved the scrabble game in the lobby and the connect 4 game. Wonderful hotel. Communication was outstanding in planning for our guests and our stay."

"Beautiful building, tasteful decoration and great furniture. The room i stayed in is large, with nice view of the church. The club lounge is big and most of the time quiet. Breakfast has all the essentials. If you drive, go to the parking garage on the back of the building and park your car on 1st floor. Then you could walk with your luggage to the lobby. There is no valet parking as far as i know."
