Hampton Inn & Suites Albany-Downtown

I got a great deal more than I expected when I stayed here. As a single female traveler, they put me on a women's only floor, which had some great amenities, including fresh fruit, extra socks, and a nice selection of extra toiletries. It was a really large room too, very comfortable. Dp Brasserie, which is right next door, was also an excellent place to have dinner -- mid priced, but the food was delicious.

Went to a moe. show, stayed here and place was great and close to the gig and the after hours shows.

Great location. Two blocks from Palace Theater.. went to see a concert. Great room. comfortable bed. friends slept on pullout couch said it wasn't bad either. The hotel was sold out and the guy doing checkin was rushed .. didn't ask me if I wanted parking or a wake up call and he asked the lady in front of me.

This is a lovely hotel and it was very clean and beautifully decorated. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Plus, we were going to a show at the Palace Theater and it was within walking distance and there were many restaurants and bars nearby. We love staying at Hampton Inns specifically for the room and bed comfort and cleanliness - and this location did not disappoint!

Very pleasant new hotel, with nice rooms and good breakfast. Surrounding area left a little to be desired.

Excellent stay at this beautiful hotel. Staff very nice!

everything was perfect

Great location, welcoming lobby and clean rooms! Albany was a pretty desolate town over New Year's, but the hotel was in the busiest location - convenient to the bars, restaurants and Palace Theater! If you are visiting downtown Albany, the Hampton Inn is the place to stay.

I have stayed at this hotel several times in the past, mostly during spring visits. Have always been impressed with the following: well maintained, helpful staff, convenient location and overall pleasant hotel.

We drove from Rochester to Albany for a concert, and checked in around 4:00pm. The lobby is very nice for a hotel in this price class. Tiffany checked us in, and was extremely pleasant and friendly. In fact, when she overheard we had driven 4 hours from Rochester she upgraded our room! So that was a nice bonus. Our room was spacious, with a kitchenette and sitting area. A large flat-screen TV and king-sized bed were welcome additions, although we found the bed to be too stiff for our tastes. That said, the pillows were nicer than our ones at home. We parked on the street and walked everywhere we needed to go, which only encompassed a 3 or 4 block radius. There are some cool bars and restaurants in the immediate area, so lots of choices for the out-of-town traveler. After the concert were returned to the hotel to have a drink at the bar, which has a surprisingly extensive drink menu for a Hampton Inn. In fact I would say it puts many NYC bars to shame. Our bartender Angela was very friendly and chatted us up from time to time as we enjoyed our drinks, and she made drink suggestions based on our likes and dislikes, and even customized a drink for my wife. The continental breakfast was very good, with a wide selection of items. We filled up before hitting the road again, enjoying a breakfast that would easily have cost us $20-$30 elsewhere. The only negatives were: no in-room safes (you have to use a lock box at the check-in desk), our room was a frigid 60 degrees when we walked in (which we quickly corrected using the thermostat), valet parking is $12.95 per day (although street parking is free on the weekends and we readily found a parking spot a couple blocks away), and we were automatically charged for parking on our bill but the front desk quickly removed it when it was brought to their attention. All in all, we found this Hampton Inn to be one of the nicest in the chain that we've seen, with friendly service and nicely appointed rooms that really offer a good value for your travel dollar.
