Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Albany East Greenbush

UPDATE: third visit, still five stars. I’ve been here a few times, and it’s always been reliably good. And a great value. Especially with a recent renovation, the rooms and the lobby area are nicely appointed and modern. I had a large, clean, quiet room with all the normal amenities including a desk with a (very important) comfortable desk chair, and (even more important) plenty of outlets for my devices. The staff have always been unfailingly polite and helpful, and the location is very convenient for getting on/off the highway and back on the road. A great business travel hotel, has everything I need and I’ll keep coming back.
