Top University at Albany Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Albany - The Desmond Hotel by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with great amenities! Love Mr. D’s restaurant and our server, Colin, was amazing!!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Albany SUNY

10/10 Excellent

"Went to UAlbany for Homecoming 2026. The motel was perfectly located across the street from the tailgate and the game. We were able to walk from the Days Inn. The staff was friendly and attentive. The room was nice and clean. The only issue was that the AC wasn’t working. They gave us a fan to cool down the room and that overall worked since the nights were cool. Overall great location. Great price."
