On weekends prices are lower than during the week, making this hotel a great value deal. Very close walking to bars and restaurants in downtown Albany. Rooms are spacious and have free wifi. Bathroom is nice and the hotel bar features live concerts on weekends. Staff is very helpful and friendly. A place to recommend!

Stayed at 74 State Hotel for my daughter's graduation from College of St Rose. The hotel staff was more than accommodating. They suggested a great restaurant a few blocks away, Katrinella's, and we were a two minute walk to the graduation at the Times Union Center.

74 State was a great choice for us when we attended a weekend athletic event at the Times Union Center. It's within easy walking distance and plenty of restaurants. The boutique rooms are fine and the hotel layout is great. There is a fitness room that's tiny, but was empty both times I used it. Hotel check-in staff were great... More

Nothing bad to say about this place. If you're looking for a classy place to stay in downtown Albany, you can't go wrong here. The rooms are laid out and spaced out well; I've stayed here several times and I never heard any noise from an adjoining room or the hallway. The rooms are large enough so that you don't... More

Has valet parking for only $5, but we chose to park on the street which is easy after six PM and on weekends. Only hiccup was failure to make up room after first night, but... More
