There's nothing plush about this Courtyard, but you can't beat the location -- it's 15 minutes from the airport, near the junction of the Thruway and other interstates, and only 15 minutes from downtown Albany. Rooms are surprisingly quiet, given the hotel's location sandwiched in between the Thruway and a major boulevard. Problems: There's only one small elevator serving the whole building, and its entrance is right outside the door to the first-floor swimming pool, which can be crowded with kids dripping wet. One night the front desk forgot a wake-up call. And the breakfast buffet is nothing special (stiff bagels, overcooked scrambled eggs, etc.). Basically this hotel provides a comfortable bed and pleasant room, but don't plan on really enjoying your time on the premises unless you're a child who likes to swim.
