"We had a wonderful stay at the Residence Inn-Marriott in Albany while moving our daughter into college. The location was convenient, the hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. After a busy move-in day, it was great to have a comfortable place to relax and unwind. The overall experience made an already emotional and hectic college move-in weekend a little easier. We would definitely stay here again when visiting our daughter at school!"
