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.
