My family and I live only an hour away from Albany but were looking to stay the night so to enjoy two full days of attractions. We had searched online and were prepared to stay at a reputable hotel chain located in downtown Albany because the price was right. However, when we went to check-in, we were not comfortable with the hotel's safety...lots of people walking the property and downtown. We chose to look elsewhere for a place to stay. We went to many of the hotels in Albany but found the prices of the rooms to >$70...much more than we were wanting to spend. Then we decided to go to Super 8 and check out the hotel and assure its safety. The location of the hotel is much safer than any hotel located in downtown Albany and the price was right. So if you are looking for a hotel that is clean, cheap, and safe, Super 8 of Albany is a good choice.

Me, my mother fiancee and son all stayed at the hotel. We reserved 2 rooms and stayed for 3 nights. The staff was friendly, the rate was excellent, the rooms we very very clean. When we checked out we forgot to turn in the key to the room and realized when we arrived home to Miami FL. I returned the key in July and the management was very nice about it and told me not to worry, things like this happens.
We were in the area because I plan to move to Albany and I love the area very much. Better than Miami as far as the people.
I recommend this hotel to anyone.
