I spent last night at the Courtyard by Marriott at 168 Wolf Rd. near the Albany airport. I didn't expect much but, wow, was I pleasantly surprised. It had the best decorated, cleanest room I've stayed in anywhere in a long time. The place was pristine! Really comfortable beds, down pillows, extra real blankets( not fuzzy foam), super nice staff and a great breakfast, especially the coffee and the yogurt fresh fruit parfait. Also, when I called them at 10:00 p.m. To get picked up at the arrivals they were at the airport in about 10min.
I highly recommend this hotel. It is a GEM.

This hotel has friendly desk personnel and is a nice new hotel. Clean and nicely decorated. The room was very spacious. It has Restaurants within walking distance and was easy to find. Wish we were not just passing thru. Love any Marriott property.

The hotel staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Nice size rooms, and all in excellent condition. The hotel is within walking distance of a few restaurants and just about 10 minutes from the Albany airport. I would highly recommend.

Well... Albany is not a place we go for vacationing. Its mostly business. However, I had a strikingly pleasurable experience with the staff at Marriott. Every single person greeted us with a smile and was willing to help. All else constant (clean facility, great location, excellent food), their service will make me totally go back.
