Hampton Inn & Suites Albany-Downtown

I was here for a work conference. My review is limited to the breakfast provided and the conference areas. Starting there, they are nice and offer multiple sizes for different group requirements. They provided a good selection of refreshments. The provided daily breakfast is actually way above average for a hotel giveaway. They had a waffle station uncluding fresh fruits and honey, plus whipped cream for the kid in you. Nice variety of pastries, breads, cereals and juices including guava, tough to find around here. Clean area, friendly staff.

We selected a Whirlpool suite for a 2-night stay for our anniversary. The room is nice with updated modern fixtures and comfortable furniture. We arrived 2 hours earlier than the expected check-in time (posted online as 2:00, actual check-in time was 4:00), but they moved quickly to accommodate us within 30 minutes of our arrival. Multiple quality restaurants surround the area. Breakfast is your standard continental breakfast, with two waffle makers and lots of choices of food. The valet service is professional and quick. However, we requested a complete bedding replacement for the second night (you know how anniversaries go) but none of the bedding was changed. I think our request got lost in translation to the housekeeping service, who only provided a second comforter and four extra pillows at the foot of the bed. Overall not bad, but housekeeping could do better.

We stayed here the second night of a 2 day trip and were wishing we would have been here both nights. Great stay in many ways. Very clean and updated for the price, great location. Downsides (which weren't enough for me to give less than 5 stars): Breakfast was good, but they were less than prepared for the traffic - struggled to keep items stocked. Parking sucks given that it's all valet. And the walls seemed on the thin side. Other than that was a wonderful stay!

When we arrived at the hotel parking lot the valet was very rude and made us hurry and get our things out of my car so he could move it. We asked him how it all worked because it was our first experience with valet services and he acted like we were idiots for asking the question. It started the trip off bad but the rest of the Hampton Inn experience was nice. It had a very clean room, comfortable bed and big jetted tub.

Very clean. Great staff! The parking is valet type and you have to leave your car key with them, but the parking is in the back and seems very secure. Neighborhood is quiet with bars/restaurants/ event venues within walking distance.
