This is a decent place to stay at if you find yourself in Albany. If it wasn't for the staff being so friendly and accommodating I'd give it 3 stars for a few reasons: 1. There wasn't any toothpaste and not enough soap
2. The remote wasn't responding to operating the television, either that or maybe they had it locked on the history channel for some reason
3. I slept on probably one of the most uncomfortable mattresses ever and starchiest sheets
4. No fridge/microwave
5. One of the pool tables ate my money by getting stuck and not giving me the rest of the balls
Nothing I mentioned here is that big of a deal and was resolved by having any staff help, but in the end it's just annoying having to ask. Overall it's very quaint and cute, not exactly luxurious but a good stay.
