Hilton Albany
It wasn’t stellar, but it was a good hotel. The room was modern. I couldn’t figure out the TV. I had to watch through my own account so I don’t think there was any TV included with the room, but the bed was clean and comfortable housekeeping was good. Front desk was good. Everyone was good.
