I would never stay here again. I booked this hotel for myself and my parent, and the service was absolutely terrible. They only provided two towels for three of us, and when I asked for more, the front desk guy told me I’d have to “wait until tomorrow.” That makes no sense, especially when I’m only staying one night. He was rude and completely unhelpful.
The hotel recently changed its name from Ramada Albany to Albany Plaza, but the poor service is the same — if not worse. For the price they charge, you’d expect basic hospitality, but instead, you get attitude and excuses. Save your money and stay somewhere else.

An old Ramada Hotel looking very tired, but comfortable.
I booked the Albany Plaza for 2 nights because it was cheap and available for a last minute holiday weekend trip.
I expected a low budget experience and they delivered. It started with no cups in the room. I went to the front desk to ask about that and was promptly given some smallish cups out of a sleeve. Obviously they were expecting the question and weren't spending the extra bucks for individually wrapped cups. The next surprise was housekeeping not touching our room after the first night. The didn't need much, but it just didn't happen.
So if you are ok with truly budget service don't fear this place.

Good location the gentleman running the breakfast buffet is a real asset to the company. I am very nice unfriendly man. The front desk was good. Places kind of old it seemed a little bit rundown. For me it was OK for one night nice clean towels. The room I have I think it was 804 definitely needs to be remodeled. It seems like it should be like a 50 or $60 a night, place. My stay was OK.
Comfortable bed, good shower, clean room, and very kind and helpful women at front desk. Those are what’s important for me on a quick one night stay. Thanks!

Incompetence and Ineptitude A Plenty
I never got to take a room 'cuz of a snafu between yoU and the hotel. Ridiculous for you and them to quibble so much as neither of you helped youRRR customer, i.e., Yours Truly. In fact, I put the blame squarely on you are you made certain assumptions that obviously were wrong, and you failed miserably in your responsibilities to me! So, I only can give an Average rating since I never set foot into any room. Disgusting, having to nap in my car for part of the night before just moving onto my destination for the day extra early. Totally ridiculous something like this could happen in Year 2025. You oughta be ashamed of yourselves!!
