Love that this is a historic building; our room was actually a suite with small eat-in kitchen. Lots of restaurants within walking distance.

The Morgan State House gave us a fabulous location for my medical school reunion. The property is beautiful & historic, and we were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked such that our breakfast and modest lunch needs were covered while we worked on-line before the festivities. I would stay here again in the future!

This is a very interesting and unique place to stay. The location is amazing - overlooking Washington Park, walkable and access to many areas of Albany. A couple of suggestions: the parking lot is a short block from the property which I learned just an hour before arriving. The property address is the place where you check in, which is a brownstone with stairs for entry. Upon checking in I was told I would be in a room 2 buildings down the street, and then given a key chain with 3 keys for access to that building, and the room. Its very much like an Airbnb since the building where I stayed had other occupants (renters, etc.). The room was big and comfortable - a little on the older side but that's not an issue for me. My television did not work - it was a DirectTV (dish) system - and it never worked during my stay. To check out you walk back down the street, ring the bell for assistance and enter that building to check in. Overall, I think this is a nice and unique place with great access - but they need to figure out communication and process a bit more. Older folks with mobility issues would not be a good fit for this hotel option!

Charming and historic with a convenient location
What a unique spot to stay in Albany - a lot of character, helpful management, lovely location across from the park and in historic buildings. My room was in the "annex" in an apartment building down the block and, while it is not a fancy building, I was very happy with my room (which was a suite with a kitchen, bathroom, large closet, etc.). I had a view of the park and the decor had some nice, funky touches. My only kvetches would be that while the wifi was strong, it wasn't always reliable - it would drop out at times. And, being an old building, it was a little noisy with "old building sounds" at night (it was winter so probably related to the heating). The included breakfast was not lavish but more than did the job and included some nice options. I would definitely come back.

A HIDDEN GEM
A hidden gem. I love this place. I can’t fault it. Apart from Wi-Fi dropping signal. But outstanding little place. Historical, boutique chic. Great for short stay. The staff where incredibly friendly and couldn’t do enough for me. I will definitely be back. I look forward to seeing you guys on the early new year.

Great bed, not great breakfast
Amazing location in a lovely historic property. The bed part was great, the breakfast part was underwhelming. My gluten free wife had very sad breakfast options so I walked down the street and picked her up a meal from the Iron Gate Cafe.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property was inconveniently located for dining options and parking. We were looking forward to walking the park associated with Inn, however neighborhood didnt lend to a safe feeling. Property is dated and worn. Room doors only had a flimsy lock to secure the door. The Inn appeared to be occupied by long-stay or permanent tenants. The hallway smelled of having a Marijuana grow room nearby. Assuming a room on floor was growing or had marijuana in abdundant quantity. Parking was a block away from Inn, so pack lightly to carry luggage.

A good choice for this area
Loved everything about my stay. My room was like a small apartment with separate kitchen, dressing room and walk-in wardrobe. Bed was comfortable with plenty of storage. Charming annexe and the actual State house. Beautiful view across to the park. Hosts were friendly and free breakfast was an added bonus. Buses close by into the city.

If you want to stay in the main old-historic house, which I truly recommend, make a clear conversation with the owner. Do you know the main house belongs to an artist, a political activist, and a women's rights fighter, Alice Morgan Wright? Check it out!
