This is one thoughtfully designed budget hotel. Not a lot of common spaces, just the lobby and a sensibly-sized breakfast area. The room we had was clean with a really comfortable bed and lots of comfy pillows. We slept soundly. Didn't have issues with noise outside the parking lot or upstairs. Breakfast was so-so but the location of this Inn makes up, in my opinion. There's a McDonald's and a Denny's down the street maybe a mile away if you must have a hot breakfast. For lunch or dinner go to Johnny Carino Country Italian restaurant where we went. Other options include a Japanese grill next door, a Longhorn's across the street and a bunch of other places within a mile radius.
It's a thoughtfully designed budget hotel that cut back on things that a typical guest could do without and focused on the essentials (like a very efficient and friendly front desk, an excellent bed, basic cable). I would recommend this to friends who are passing through or doing a short visit to Albany.
PS. It was really thoughtful of them to start breakfast service at 3AM when runners and bikers blew into town for the Marathon and Bike Race on March 3. Now that's good service!

I personally have used this hotel for several years. Having the ability to choose any hotel in the area. This one has always been convenient and accommodating. Most importantly, the staff here, very friendly and efficient.

It's nice staying where people know you by name!

Thanks Staff and Stephen

We had stayed at a few Jameson Inn's before so booked our room before our trip. We did not get there until 11:15 and so it was late, maybe the better rooms were already given out as other reviews seemed to be very satisfied. We were given a room at the back area and opened the door to a sour smell and a chair that looked like it came from the dump and carpet well worn. I let the Front desk attendant know the room was not acceptable and she gave us a second option that was only a small bit better. We took it as it was late the redeeming factor was the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was also not the quality of other Jameson Inn's we have stayed in.

I've been traveling for the last month and I have now found my new favorite hotel.
Great staff, fast check in, and the most comfortable bed I have slept on in years!!
The rooms are nice and clean and I was upgragded to a premium room at no extra cost!. I'll be recomending this place to my colleages when they are in the area.
