Clean, quiet, and comfortable stay. The staff was polite and very helpful throughout my visit, and as a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and at ease. I didn’t try the breakfast, but it looked and smelled great when I passed by. Would definitely stay again!

It was a nice quiet end to a day with college friends from way back. My room had a beautiful view of Albany in the distance and the lights were beautiful after dark. Nice breakfast before hitting the road at 7am. I stayed here last year and will again when I’m out this way.
