Albany/Hilton garden Inn

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 31 Jul 2024
"The hotel overall was a peaceful and well-maintained establishment. I particularly appreciated their well-equipped gym facility which added to my stay experience. However, despite the generally positive experience, I did encounter a concerning issue with a bed bug during my time there. This unexpected incident was disappointing and somewhat marred an otherwise pleasant stay. I hope that the hotel management takes appropriate measures to address this issue to ensure the comfort and well-being of their guests in the future."

Arrived 07/18/2024 for a 4-night stay. The fire alarm went off at 3 AM Friday morning, and the hotel was evacuated for over 90 minutes. The reported cause was a faulty sprinkler system, which activated the fire alarm.

The same event repeated at 1:30 AM Saturday morning (same sprinkler system issue), and we were able to return to our rooms in an hour.

Two midnight wake-up calls in two nights, both caused by the same faulty equipment, should entitle a customer to some consideration, right?

I reached out to Hilton Corporate, asking them to contact me to discuss remediation options. Instead, the representative sent an e-mail "scolding" me for not trying hard enough to seek consideration from the hotel manager during my stay. Hilton did offer to add 30,000 points to my Hilton Honors account, which covers less than one night's midweek stay in a basic room at a non-premium hotel.

A sticker on the bathroom wall states that cleaning services, linens and COFFEE are provided on alternating days. The sign wants you to believe that this "service" is provided for the customer's privacy and comfort, but it's really a cost-cutting thing that benefits Hilton. Ironically, there was no reduced rate for dates where no services were provided.

This Hilton offers a standard breakfast buffet that is only free for hotel customers who pay full price. Customers who use discount services (e.g., Priceline), are charged $10 per person.

Room tip: Discount customers may want to disremember their room number if a breakfast host requests it for billing purposes.

We had a great nights stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Albany. After a day of driving, we were welcomed by kind and caring staff. William at the front desk was very accommodating and answered all of our questions. Our room was clean and extremely comfortable. It was a perfect experience!

As a Hilton Honors Diamond member I like to stay at different properties across the portfolio in the places I visit. Having stayed downtown before and with a rail stopover in the Albany area, I chose this hotel for my recent stay.

My usual routine is to do online check-in and room selection the day before my arrival. When Uber dropped me off, I first thought this was a typical HGI with an attractive lobby including a small restaurant. Since I had a Digital Key, I went directly to my chosen room. I noticed that carpet appeared worn in the hallway, needing replacement. Once in my room, when I went to get the luggage rack to put down my suitcase, the closet door was off the track. I had to slide the other door and fish the rack out.

The room itself had seen better days. Furniture was chipped in many places. The bed was very soft. There was a horrible musty smell making me wonder just how and when the room was last cleaned without anyone noticing this.

And also very noticeable was traffic noise from I-90, which runs behind the hotel.
Having seen other reviews, I tried to choose a room that was not as close to it. But it seems that every guest no matter what side of the building, gets to enjoy the nonstop traffic noise from every vehicle driving between Seattle and Boston. Nothing like hearing trucks shifting down to brake on hills. The hotel is poorly placed being this close to major highway. Some states put up sound walls to shield such decibel levels from the general public. If New York doesn't have such plans, this hotel should be lobbying the state government to do so. The hotel itself could do more to retard the sound. I've stayed at hotels near airports and was not bothered so much.

In the bathroom, the sink was cracked, another sign of neglect.

To find positives, the room was big enough for my needs and the bathroom had ample counter space. TV, WiFi, Air conditioning all worked well.

Hilton should be ashamed of this place. It was not at all what I have come to expect from a Hilton Garden Inn or any Hilton property. No doubt I will steer clear of this place for my next Albany stay.
