Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Albany Downtown
Good hotel for a business trip. Breakfast was on time and hot. Room was clean and the beds were a good firmness for me. Internet speed and coverage was good. The only odd thing was the toilet.... It was elongated (must have) but it was pretty low to the ground... Lower than any toliet in a hotel ...
