Top Albany Hotel Reviews

Travelodge Inn & Suites by Wyndham Albany

Travelodge Inn & Suites by Wyndham Albany

8/10 Good
"My friend and I stayed one night here to attend a nearby event. We found the room clean and comfortable, the location convenient, the price very reasonable, and we would not hesitate to stay here again. The hotel listing describes an included breakfast, so we were expecting the usual sleazy buffet and we planned to dine off-site in the morning on the way to our event. I had noted in past reviews that what would actually be provided was a takeaway breakfast bag. What we experienced was a little better than that, with bagels and granola bars available, and paper bags containing 1 piece of fruit and 1 bottle of water -- somewhat more useful than the sleazy buffets usually are, but not really "breakfast". I highly recommend the Metro7 Diner for a real breakfast, and my friend appreciated their many gluten free options. Also, El Rancho was excellent for authentic mexican dinner."
