Review of Crowne Plaza Albany- The Desmond Hotel
Reviewed 12 Jun 2021via mobile
Overall, very pleased. Room and common areas are modern and clean, staff friendly and efficient. Pool and gym area SUPER clean. Air conditioning in our room did not work that well and maintenance was alerted but problem never resolved. Requested a mini fridge but none were available during our 6 night stay. Housekeeping has to be scheduled in advance, likely due to covid-19. Will return!
Date of stay: June 2021Trip type: Travelled with family

Excellent service and professionalism. Grounds, rooms, lobby and overall upkeep of the hotel is excellent! I always choose Desmond for a nights getaway. I recommend the Desmond to friends and our church has had functions here.

We use the Desmond when traveling for its convenience to the airport.
The new renovations make it an even more attractive choice.
Joe, our shuttle driver was exceptional, friendly and so helpful.
Will definitely continue to use!

We were very pleased with this hotel. The decor in the lobby and rooms was clean and modern. Big TV and all white bathroom made the room even nicer! The elevator was a little slow, but that was a minor thing.
The hotel is close to anything you may need or want and is right off the exit.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again!
