This hotel has a very serious mouse problem. If you go there everyone will act surprised when you say you saw a mouse, but they've known for a long time they have this problem. They will not refund your money, I promise…

Room was small but well kept. Lights are either on or off. There was no bedside or reading lamp. Closet in the room I stayed in was not available to me. Good location and walkable.

Lovely feel to the building and rooms. I wanted quiet and convenient and got both. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. When traveling away from home, it can be lonely and strange. Not so at the Albany. Thanks…

I selected the Albany because of location to the bus station as I was doing alot of tours and this hotel didn't disappoint. It is a 10 minute walk to Prince Street and all the main attractions... but without the crowd…

Questions about Albany Hotel

What time is check-in and check-out at Albany Hotel?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Albany Hotel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Does Albany Hotel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Albany Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

Can I check in late at Albany Hotel?

The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.

How do I book Albany Hotel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
