Clean, close to all, comfy

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Oct 2020via mobile
Beautiful clean lobby with warming fireplace. We liked it so much we stayed another night.
Underground parking with elevators to rooms. Use your digital key and bypass front desk. Quick in and out access. Well lit.
Sparkling clean bathroom. Fluffy large towels.
Strong water pressure
Friendly service
Pool was very nice and hot tub just what I needed. Pool was clean but not too warm. Shower for rinsing and bathroom located in pool area. Convenient.
Hand sanitizers throughout.
Decent view of Albany Campus
Nice sized flat screen TV.
Bed was comfy and pillow medium firm.
Climate control worked well wasn't too loud, but you can hear it. I liked the white noise.
The backside of the hotel is right on I90 and we heard the occasional large truck go by at night.
Coffee and beverages in lobby is a nice touch.
Bathroom is a good size with adjustable shower head and good water pressure and hot water.
I always love Hilton Garden's little microwave, refrigerator and coffee station.
Hallways are clean and carpets in excellent condition. You might see an occasional ding in a wall or piece of furniture from use.
Good size full closet with sliding full mirrored doors.
Ample lighting and plugs with USB ports on side tables and desk.
Desk is a good size with ergonomic. Chair and lamp.
Could not access the Guide on TV.
Creamers in room coffee were rancid a
Have to reserve pool time.
Told us pool was booked for 7pm but when we walked passed at 710 and 720 no one was in it. Probably no show but we could have enjoyed pool a bit longer.
Told us no late checkout even as a silver member but hotel was practically empty on a Sunday.
Mostly friendly staff but one seemed only obligatorily so.

Stayed two days in August. The rooms were average. But you had to request if you wanted the room cleaned every day because of the pandemic. The free breakfast was the worse breakfast I have had in 60 years of traveling and was totally inedible.

Room tip: handicap accessible rooms are much larger

beeare,

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience during your stay! Due to covid, we are still trying to limit housekeeping entering any guest rooms just to when guests are comfortable having someone come to provide service. We apologize that we are unable to have our usual breakfast selection available at this time, but hope you will consider staying with us in the future when we can fully reopen our restaurant!

Best,
HGI Albany/SUNY Management

My only criticism is that the breakfast isn't the same as it was, but then what is amid this covid thing? The bacon is frequently underdone and the sausage overdone for my liking. However, the friendliness and sincerity of the staff more than makes up for it. If it wasn't in violation of social distancing, I'd give them all a big hug for making me feel not just welcome, but at home.

Room tip: Rooms on the south end are quieter. North end is closer to freeway.

I planned a suprise 60th birthday party for my girlfriend. People came from throughout the United States a various times. CHERISSE at the front desk helped with all my changes and is an asset to the hotel. Stacey Jones was a great asset with all the coordination. I reserved about 20 nights of rooms. The hotel accommodations and staff was phenomenal. Staff was friendly and courteous. Great stay.. recommend for all occasions.
Hilton honors on the other hand..Read the fine print. Even then it won't help you.I reserved all rooms with my hilton honors number. I paid for all rooms. I recieved credit for 4 nights. I contacted hilton program ,person was polite and stated only 4 rooms could be credited and I gave reservation numbers and was assigned a case number.. They acted quickly, denied, denied. I wasn't the guest who stayed in room..Then supplied credit card statement..we will see.

There was this breakfast hostess this morning when me and my wife had breakfast and she was so rude. I didnt catch her name but she was light skinned with short black hair. I simply asked a question about the cook and her response was I dont know you will have to ask my manager. My thing is why work in this environment if you dont know. I dont understand. Then get mad when I keep asking questions as if she didnt want to be bothered with my questions. Very unprofessional and not a good start to my morning. Nice place other then the breakfast staff. Will not stay again.

Had to attend a competition and went alone. Enjoyed the stay, felt safe, and was a great space to get away and be alone for a bit. Staff was extremely helpful and nice, I originally only booked 1 night but they accommodated my extension into 2 and kept me in the same room.
