This hotel was excellent - great breakfasts, VERY clean throughout, service with a smile, staff couldn't be more helpful, had a couple of evenings when we had a nice family dinner (ordered in) in the living room, nice exercise room overlooking a nice pool area, very quiet, large rooms, thick sheets and towels..... NOT ONE complaint or suggestion for improvement!!

Excellent hotel. Very clean, large rooms. Breakfast had a few extra items beyond your basic continental. Stay here and drive to Saratoga during racing season. Why pay exorbitant prices for lesser quality. Good location for access to SUNY Albany.

We stopped off here on our journey from Niagara Falls to Boston, the journey was a very long drive in non stop rain all the way so we were tired and very pleased to get to this hotel which we had booked on the internet after reading the positive reports on trip advisor. We were welcomed by Nick on reception... More

Holiday inn express maintains high standards. Everything is as expected. Clean. Friendly staff. Nice workout room. Good location. Very busy hotel. They must be doing everything right. Accommodations in Albany are expensive. This one is a reasonable value.

Quick overnight trip to the area. Hotel was convenient to my meetings. The front desk staff who checked me in was fabulously nice, helpful, enthusiastic and overall a gem. Free Wifi with my room, and my room was very large. Everything worked properly. The breakfast buffet was included in my room rate and was overall better than average for a... More

The front desk people were nice and very attentive. When we checked in and when I just went to all a question they went out of their way to help and make sure I got what I needed. They clearly wanted to go above and beyond and they did!

Great rooms, quiet and clean, very large for the price. Staff was extremely helpful, responded to requests seemingly before I finished asking for what I needed (i.e. forgot toothpaste, called front desk, less than 2 minutes later knock at door). Only gripe is the parking situation - parking lot has no sidewalks, requiring you to walk in the aisles, all... More

Very sorry about the exterior door issue that happened while you were here. Turns out it was the locks, not the keys. We were able to fix the issue but it really should never have happened in the first place. Hope we get to make it up to you sometime in the future?! And thank you for the nice review!... More

4 parts of the family met up for a family occasion. The King Suite was a grand meeting place. Breakfast in the morning was varied and well done. The pool was a welcome place to relax.

yes, the perspective on that photo is odd. It was hard to get a shot of the room from the right angle to show it at its best. Basically it is 3/4 the size of the king room. Very happy to hear you used the suite to its best advantage though! Hope to see you again soon. Kathy Tabora General... More

I can't complain about this Holiday Inn. Rooms were clean and updated. I've stayed here a few times over the past few years for conferences and business and have not been disappointed. The breakfast is also very good as well. Keep up the good work!

It has been quite some time since I've stayed at a Holiday Inn. I've preferred the Hilton, Marriott, Carlson, Choice Hotel families. This Holiday Inn Express had such a high level of service, pleasant surprises, and clean, comfortable accommodations. Little things make the difference. Pillows that are labeled "firm" or "soft," free high-speed internet, mouthwash, snacks offered at check-in, etc.... More
