Courtyard by Marriott Albany

I like it here!!! For Albany, this is a great comfortable stay…
You have to request a room with microwave and refrigerator!!! Just a note… Great customer service! I tried the new Hampton Inn & Suites down the street, and it sent me running back for the 12:00 check-​out and great customer service!!!
I’m in love with the king beds, they are much larger than the king beds at the neighboring Fairfield Inn…

I stayed here recently on a business trip to visit a client in Albany and I will stay here on my next return. I wish I could remember the names of the many staff members that helped me while I was there. From a warm and friendly welcome, to assistance getting my expense reports faxed out, and an excellent restaurant recommendation the staff was and is an A+ all around.
The bed was fine but the numerous pillows were just not a good enough size for me. The free breakfast was good, the bacon in my opinion was the standout. Perfectly prepared and just crisp enough. The coffee also was more than passable for the gigantic pot they make for everyone.
Definitely try this out if you’re in that neck of the woods.

Courtyards are not my preference for business or leisure travel accomadations, mainly because it’s a pretty bare bones hotel with no frills. I like modern contemporary/​lux amenities. However, Courtyards are typically pretty comfortable and they pride themselves on catering to the «business» traveler.
This location was pretty up to date as far as current Courtyard standards. The rooms are equipped with flat screen TV’s and semi-​modern furnishings. There is a nice business center that has has an open floor plan concept and free wifi.
Zaxby’s and Johnny share the same lot with the Courtyard and Fairfield Inn. So decent food is within very easy walking distance. KFC and Longhorn’s are also just across the street.
I also enjoyed the friendly service.
If you must travel to Albany for business and you prefer the Marriott Brand (because you’re a Marriott snob like me) then this is a great choice.
