2. Americas Best Value Inn Albany East Greenbush

Rensselaer

"Single level hotel rooms right by parking. Rooms are mostly smoke filled 1930s type vintage. The walls are paper thin and you can hear every word of the adjacent room(s). The people who go to this hotel are trashy and show up at one in the morning and party all night. But then again what can you expect for that Price. The office staff is not very helpful and don’t really care. Stay away look elsewhere.!"

Top Albany Hotel Reviews

Hilton Albany

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet property with amenities and a bar."

Albany Plaza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room had a microwave and a refrigerator in it. The hotel was clean and well maintained. The driveway had a lot of patches in it, but it was fine to drive on. This hotel did not have a lot of flowers and decorations on the outside, but it was beautiful inside. I would stay at this hotel again."
