What guests think

Across recent stays, Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Downtown Albany New York is frequently described as clean and comfortable with spacious rooms and helpful staff, and its proximity to the MVP Arena and downtown attractions is a clear advantage.

Many reviews cite recurring HVAC problems leading to uncomfortably warm rooms, plus traffic or guest noise. Breakfast is commonly described as basic with limited selection and often no meat, and on site parking carries an extra fee and can run out. Several guests find the immediate area by the highway and bus terminal uninviting, with signage and access a bit confusing, though it remains walkable to certain venues. Expect a value focused stay with trade offs.

When you first walk into the hotel it has a bad odor. The smell is also in the rooms. Not sure what the smell is but it’s not very pleasant. Parking: You pay $19.99 for parking and then you can’t find a parking spot. We were told the spots are first come first serve. If there are 190 parking spots and 134 rooms and each car has to pay for parking there shouldn’t be an issue with finding a spot. We were then told to park on the street OR at the greyhound terminal for $30. This caused a lot of havoc last night because so many people paid for parking and there we no parking spots. We asked for extra towels and wash cloths at 9am and by 10:20am we hadn’t received them so when my niece went downstairs to ask for them she was told we had to request them from our room (although they handed another customer towels at the counter). So we called again and the guy answering the phone had someone bring them up at about 10:40am. There was a small hole over the toilet (we stuffed tissue in it) which was weird.

My concern/complaint would be the parking fee they charge for a lot that can not house all the guest cars! We paid an additional fee & ended up parking on the street! Poor management policy! The staff employees are all very nice!

The hotel itself is good, it’s just in a sketchy part of town. It’s surrounded by abandoned buildings and right next to the highway, which you can hear all night. I wouldn’t want to be outside the hotel after dark. Inside it was very clean and our room was nice but the bed we had in our room had a broken spring that we could feel. The breakfast was average in terms of what is offered, although one of the mornings they were out of most items by 8:30am. If we ever went back to Albany I would pay more to stay in a different hotel. I forgot to mention this earlier but they do charge about $20 a night for parking as well.

Hotel was sold out; therefore so was the parking. Had to park across the street for a larger fee. Air conditioning was very poor; dropped two degrees from 76-74 overnight. Bed was too soft. Breakfast was average; nothing special

The pictures do not match the property at all. I pulled into a parking lot that looked incredibly unsafe, so much so that we hesitated to get out of the car. Upon entering the property the entire place smelled so strongly of smoke that I said something, we asked if we could just cancel, however that was not possible without going through Expedia and I was promised the rooms would be better. Upon entering the room, it too smelled the same, my son was coughing, the water coming from the sink was filled with floating things, and I felt unsafe. We checked out immediately and found a different hotel. This is NOT a safe hotel experience for families, and my son would agree. We could not get out of there fast enough.

It was actually a clean hotel BUT too much noise and people staying were all shady persons making loud noises late at night. The corridors and even our room reek of weed all night. It is funny that the hotel has a no smoking policy and they say nothing to cannabis. It was disturbing. The sink in the room was blocked and tv didn’t work. We didn’t bother telling anyone. Breakfast was extremely poor and very bad coffee.

Breakfast which is included for all guests was nicer than most, including hot waffles and scrambled eggs. Rooms are nicely appointed, clean and have comfortable beds and pillows. AC worked well. Good room darkening drapes. Note that if you can’t walk a long… distance ask for a room assignment near the elevator. There are rooms that are a far walk.

It is well located when you go to the mvp arena. The bed was comfy, the water pressure was good in the shower but the room smelled like a cat peed in there. It was ok for one night, I would have asked for another room if we were staying there for more.

We checked in about 11pm- we got there and there was no parking available (so had to find street parking)- we got to our rooms and 1 was 80 degrees - air appeared to be in, but room never got below 78. We called the desk and they sent someone up quickly, but he said it was on and fine- and let 2 fans. The second room we had the air sort of worked, but there was a musty smell in it.

The air conditioning in room 407 didn't work it was 74 in the room all night. The hotel was sold out so there was no changing rooms. Upon check out we told the receptionist about our stay and she stated the manager would call us and offer us a refund. This never happened the manager never called. Disappointed

The property itself was difficult to find, and dark and felt unsafe upon approach. The staff at the Reception desk were not helpful, and provided no information regarding parking, amenities and check-in/check-out. The cost of parking per day was not disclosed until my second night, and my key card access was cut-off after one night, despite booking multiple nights. The room was not clean upon inspection, with visible carpet stain, hair in the bathroom, and mold in the corner.

While those things control-able by the staff were very acceptable The location is terrible. No parking both nights when we got to the property. Property sits adjacent to the highway. It felt like we were under the highway. Abandoned buildings and vacant underpasses surrounded the property. Also, bus terminals and city bus storage sits behind the property. More than once were confronted by homeless people when we went to the car. It did not feel safe in the neighborhood. I would not recommend this property for families.
