I can't put my finger on what it is that makes me hate this hotel but each time I stay I can't wait to check out. Nothing in the rooms is comfortable. At this price I have certain expectations but 74 State can't meet them. And how tacky to charge $1.00 for the apples at the reception desk. Nobody seems... more

I recently stayed one night at 74 State for business. A friend accompanied me on the trip. I arrived in the afternoon after driving about 3 hours from Massachusetts to Albany and the hotel was not busy when I arrived. I was pleasantly greeted by the valet and my bags taken in. Then I met the front desk staff, who... more

I stayed at 74 State for 2 days and was less than impressed. Getting to the point... -The room had three burned out light bulbs. -While they splurged on plasma screens, I think my computer monitor is larger than the TV in my room. -Every time I leave the room for more than an hour, the door resets and I... more

My wife and i stayed at 74 State when attending a concert at the Times Union Center. The location was perfect. It seemed like the nicest option in the area, and the hotel itself was in fact pretty nice. There were issues though. First, I was assured of an early check. Uopn arrival my room wasnt ready, even though the... more

My husband and I stayed at 74 State to be close to the Times Union Center. The hotel was expensive, the location was difficult to find because everytime you drove by there were buses blocking the entrance (there is a bus stop right out front with some interesting characters hanging around). The ONLY option for parking is Valet. The rooms... more

We were in a room with a King bed which was very comfortable. Unfortunately, there was only one night stand and light (for a King - are you kidding me - speak about barebones). A small amenity like tissues are not to be found anywhere - yikes. For a boutique hotel, it did fall a little short of expectations. Overall,... more

Only stayed one night en route to Finger Lakes. We found the hotel suited our needs, the rooms being a reasonable size, but well decorated and clean, also the bathroom and shower. Didn't use the restaurant but had a substantial breakfast included in the price. Found the desk staff to be very helpful and polite. Would stay again. more

I stayed here for 2 nights for a business outing to Saratoga Springs race track. The hotel room was big, comfortable and clean. The bed was great. There were two closets in the room. The bathroom was new and clean. There was a flat screen TV in the room and there was internet acess. The staff at the front desk,... more

Stayed 4 nights at this hotel. The room is HUGE with an equally large bathroom. The room is nicely appointed with modern, quality furniture, fixtures, and an LCD TV. The hotel Internet worked GREAT all week. Nice lounge on the second floor, friendly staff... Overall a great stay. more

I had a great experience at 74 State from beginning to end! The staff at 74 State were always available for anything you needed....every time we walked out, there was always someone there to open the door. Even when I was walking into the Starbucks across the street, one of the concierge was walking out and held the door open!... more
