This hotel is disgusting! When we arrived there was a nice woman on the desk - I believe she was probably part of the family that owned it since her young daughter was behind the counter. The room was FILTHY! The carpet had obviously not been vacumed in a LONG time. There were chunks of things on the carpet. There... more

We visit Albany every year for Irish 2000, an excellent all day Celtic Music and Arts festival. This year we did not reserve quickly enough for the Quality Inn Albany. The Howard Johnson is the host hotel for the festival so we figured how bad could it be. I was afraid to stay after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor... more

We were a large group (85 people) and we spent one night at this hotel in September 2005. We had a very nice time and experienced no problems. The staff was frindly. No problems with the cleanliness of the rooms. more

We stayed one night in this motel (thankfully!) The room was dirty - unvacuumed carpets etc. and very shabby. It was dfficult to determine whether the sheets were clean - mine were covered in hairs. Yuk! Have stayed in Howard Johnson hotels elsewhere without problems. Really disappointed with this one. more

I just returned from a 5 night stay at the Howard Johnson's in Albany, NY. I was under the impression that this was a recently renovated hotel, with recently renovated rooms. That is absolutely not true! Their website makes this same claim. I did not arrive in my room until 10:00pm. The room was not clean - carpet needed to... more

We decided to stay at this hotel at the last minute - we were driving home from Baltimore to Montreal and did not want to drive the last 3 1/2 hours in the rain and darkness of unlit highway. Having been to Albany many times before, I had heard that the rooms at the HoJo had been refurbished and knew... more

Although the rooms are in need of refurbishing, the price and location can't be beat. It is very convenient to restaurants and shopping. The management is helpful and there is a lovely courtyard where guests can sit out in warm weather. more
