My stay was excellent.
Pros:

I love that the breakfast had turkey bacon and chicken sausage as meat options because I don't eat pork. I also like that ther was a pork meat option for the people who do eat pork. The staff in the breakfast area was professional and kept the area well stocked.

Cons:

The only thing you could have done better is have a location closer to downtown Albany's Capitol building.

We had a wonderful and comfortable stay with great amenities, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosp
Pros:

The hotel is very clean and tidy, and my son and I really enjoyed our stay. The pool is great for small children, and the beds and pillows are very comfortable. The noise insulation is also very good. It was great to have a microwave in the room to heat food and drinks. The breakfast offered a good variety of tasty food, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend!

Cons:

We loved everything about our stay. Just one recommendation: it would be nice if the hotel provided robes, as that would make visiting the pool more convenient, as well as toothbrushes and toothpaste, since I forgot mine in the rush.

Confidence restored
Pros:

We stayed here for one night early this month. Hampton Inns have always been our 'go-to' when we are traveling and this one didn't disappoint. We did have an issue with our billing at check out but the manager, Christopher, was a big help. Kudos to Christopher. He came through for us in a big way.
