A mid-week getaway to Albany was perfect to get rid of the Covid blues and start dining, sightseeing, and shopping again. For us, Albany was an easy drive on I-90 and centrally located for a number of day trips along the Hudson River and Berkshires. The hotel, itself, is nicely situated on a busy strip of retail establishments and restaurants. There's no lack of dining or shopping options in the area. It is also very close to Albany International Airport and a good option for those flying in an out of the capital city.
Our room was very large (compared to so many other hotels we have stayed in) and featured: a large bedroom with a king bed; a nice size sitting area with a tv, pull out sofa, wing chair, and ottoman; and a small kitchenette complete with a small table and set of chairs, microwave, 2 burner stove top, dishwasher, full refrigerator, and all the dishware, cookware, and silverware. This unit could easily be a very comfortable apartment.
Although there were some signs of wear on some of the furnishings and bathroom fixtures, everything was well maintained and very clean. Covid cleaning protocols were highlighted and we felt very confident that our stay would be safe. The bed and, in particular the pillows, were comfortable and every night was a great sleep.
The staff here is exceptional. We had the chance to interact with the front desk, dining room attendants, housekeepers, and maintenance personnel. Each and every person was friendly, courteous, and enthusiastic about having us as guests. I truly felt that each staff member valued our patronage.
An unexpected surprise was the complimentary meals served at this location. We were aware of the breakfast (that's available 7 days a week) and it was very good. Freshly cooked eggs (scrambled one day, over easy the next), bacon and sausage, fresh fruit, hot oatmeal with an assortment of toppings; freshly baked muffins; and a variety of bagels, breads, and yogurts. You will not leave breakfast hungry. We were surprised, though, that this location served a complimentary light meal on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings. The first night we enjoyed a small salad bar, manicotti, sausage, soup, breadsticks, and beer and wine. The second night featured the salad bar, baked cod, rice pilaf, asparagus, and beer and wine. And - it was very good. Seriously, the food was really good.
There are so many aspects to this hotel that we didn't get to enjoy (e.g. outdoor firepits, indoor pool, hot tub, basketball court) that I cannot wait to return to the Albany area.
Upon check in I was informed dinner was being served as well as complimentary adult beverages...
Brought stuff up to the room, halls were spotless and well appointed. Room was spacious clean and fully equipped. Full kitchen. Even with a dishwasher.
Decides to try dinner even though there is a restaurant mecca down the road. Had pot toast with mahsed potatoes and brocolli. I'm no anthony bourdaine but I have a pretty refined, picky, bougie palat and this food blew me away. Hot, seasoned and cooked perfectly. Paired with a cold tap poured modelo..ans the. Red wine and I was quite settled in. After dinner went for a swim. Pool was clean and in working order. Once done requested the fire pit outside be out in and it was within minutes. Sat in an Adirondack chair by the fire until bedtime. Outdoor space/courtyard was well appointed with manicured grass, nice lighting and seating areas.
Bed was comfy, pillows plush and ceiling fan was perfect. You could hear a pin drop during the jight even though every room was booked.
Woke up to a full breakfast with the best blueberries I've had so far this year. Starbucks coffee. Cucumber mint infused water and fresh poured waffles. Even espresso chocolate bard at the front desk.
While I think the price I paid was a touch high for the location, the size of the unit, the comfort and flow of my stay and the fine tuned amenities that were offered made it WELL worth the rate. Very much look forward to an excuse to stay here again. Fantastic job guys!
Now, I had to call the front desk about 5 times because we had 3 rooms and 5 people in for a wedding. They were so helpful with everything! The great Lea looked up all kinds of things for me and the fantastic Amira responded to all my questions perfectly and had a maintenance man in our place in less than an hour after my wife dropped an earring down the bathroom sink. Sink and vanity in a room with closet with hangers and a safe while the stool and shower were in connecting room.
The living room is separated from bedroom by doors so one person can sleep while other watches TV.
If I ever run away from home this Homewood Suites is gonna be my first stop.
Good closet space for my belongings, two chest drawers!
I had to run right out and found there were a handful of places to grab something to eat on the way. this only to find when I returned to the hotel DINNER was being served! beverages included! I was there for a few days but on my last night they didn't serve dinner.
Almost every time I left my room the janitor was in the hallway wiping something, vacuuming or cleaning in the lobby area. The place is beautiful!
I asked a passing cleaning lady for fresh towels and to change my trash and she took care of it straight away! Awesome! The folks serving breakfast were bubbly and talkative and the spread of food was colorful and delicious.
Everything was just wonderful and I will be returning to Homewood the next time I am in NY for my meetings!
