I needed at room in albany for the night with special attention to an early check-in at 11am.I understand a hotels policy with early check-in, but when rooms are available, make the customer happy. I contacted 74 State and spoke to Mary Ann and was I helped faster, and I was more satisfied, then any other hotel in the area.... More

If 74 State was located in New York City, it wouldn't compare to the nicer hotels that Manhattan has to offer. Albany though is a wasteland so considering that, this is a very nice hotel. Nice amenities, friendly staff and refreshments in the hotel were all supplied. It is very close to the state Capitol building which is probably the... More

We were in town to attend the Rascal Flatts concert at the Times Union Center, and wanted to stay at hotel close to the facility. The 74 State is just around the corner. It is defined as a "Botique Hotel." What we found was an exceptional establishment, great decor, and all the things a fine hotel would offer. The King... More

We have stayed here several times in the last few years while visiting my nephew at a nearby college. This past time was a bit disappointing. The carpets were dirty throughout even in the common areas. The elevator smelled aweful! We had breakfast at Le Marche and were underwhelmed, particularly with the service. At one point hte waiter yelled from... More

I was somewhat skeptical after reading some of the reviews prior to booking the room. I will say my personal experience was amazing. I did have an issue with the fireplace. It wouldn't start up. I called and the manager came right up to try and fix it. He was unable to resolve the issue. He contacted maintenance and they... More

relatively good price. Quiet on weekends but quick cab ride to everywhere in Albany. Parking not too bad on weekends. Staff better than ok, gonna be great w time. Room service staff and food very good. Decor cool and retro. Not for kids. Not for complainers. Not for high maintenance. My only real request is ventilation in the bathrooms! More

Albany is not New York (city) and let's not forget this. Boutique hotels don't really exist here and while there is a fun bed and breakfast in the Morgan House over by Washington Park, such place is very much a bed and breakfast with many quirks. So in downtown Albany there are only a few options and all of them... More

We enjoyed staying in our oddly shaped room with one queen bed and a tiny flat screen tv. The hotel is interestingly restored but lacks most amenities other than the basics. Free wi-fi was a big plus, as was coffee in the lobby. The downtown of Albany clears out at night, but there are some bars and restaurants if you... More

Downtown Albany on a Sunday night is dreadful -- everything shuts down early, and the places that stay open are basically sports bars. So I was looking forward to staying here and having decent room service options. Only they don't have room service on Sunday nights (management, please rethink that practice)! But the restaurant sent up dinner anyway because they... More
