Former Crown Plaza property, so the GPS couldn't find the hotel as a Hilton. Centrally located downtown. Walking distance of Jacks restaurant and other establishments. Parking has in and out priviledges as an overnight guest. Close to Capital buildings. Rooms were spacious, flat screen TV, refrig, and coffee maker. Had a fantastic view of the Capital Building. Nice lobby bar... More

This property was acquired by Hilton from Crown Plaza a few years ago. Hilton has made some lovely changes to the lobby and restaurant. The rooms were also remodeled. BUT - the carpets are still dirty and ugly in the hallways and while the rooms are redecorated it still has many of its previous limitations - tiny bathrooms, poor A/C... More

First, the dinner - ordered med-rare, receive med-well. Ordered chocolate cake, received cheesecake. Didn't complain, but gave a tip commiserate with the poor attention to detail - ~12%. Then when I checked out found out that the waitress "added" a tip equivalent to 25% to the bill! I corrected this, showing the manager the original receipt - THEN! literally one... More

This hotel wasn't bad at all but nothing much happens on a Sunday in Albany. I was with a party of UK tourists on a one night stay as part of our Colonial America tour. I must say that the colonials seem to be doing pretty well these days. Nobody in our party had any complaints about the hotel, which... More

While Albany isn't a place for a destination resort, it is a busy government center, so it's nice to have a place to balance the frustrations of dealing with State bureaucrats. This property is in a very good central location, has a terrific staff and very comfortable rooms. There are also a few pretty decent restaurants nearby. The business facilities,... More

I would highly recommend this Hotel! Now under Hilton ownership it has been completely redone, top to bottom, it is like new! We were in town for a concert at the Palace Theater just a few blocks away. The Hotel shuttle took us to the theater area, and suggested some restaurants. When the concert let out there was a lot...

This location was the Crown Plaza since probably the 1990s, but Hilton took it over in 2012 and it's a really nice location with a great staff and nice rooms. I haven't tried the restaurant or bar yet, but am anticipating it will be quite good.

The staff is outstanding and helpful. The food is very good. BUT, the bed is the best part. You may have an issue in the bathroom. The shower head is positioned for someone under 5'7". The heating and cooling is apparently still being modernized, you will have to know metrics to read the temp.
