Hyatt Place Albany/Downtown
It smelled so good when I first walked in. I ALWAYS double check the bed before laying down for bedbugs. There was none. Bathroom was clean. And the breakfast options were good. I hope they keep it up because I would love to stay here again if I’m passing through Albany.

Everything very nice. Room was clean. The staff was nice and helpful. They have a small restaurant. Great food but pricey for me. Shuttle driver was great...very helpful when I needed a little extra help. My second time staying here when traveling and I would definitely stay again.
