The lobby was filled with young children scheduled for a national soccer tournament so the Reception Manager upgraded our room to a suite so that we would enjoy a quiet, relaxing stay. I would not hesitate to return when I plan to spend a night in Albany, New York.

This is a beautiful hotel. Clean, attractive, safe. It is unique in it's decor which makes it a nice change from the norm.

We hosted a conference here & it was AMAZING!! Everything was WONDERFUL. The staff was EXCELLENT. The rooms were very nice. The food was delightful. We has about 100 people at the conference and we did not hear one complaint!

Indoor town square was cute; suite was roomy and comfortable. Old, rickety elevators - scary! Great boutique hotel near the Albany airport. On the plus side: there were very friendly staff throughout the property, especially the valet team; the rooms were clean and comfortable and the rate was fair, in a relative sense (compared to Marriott or Hilton) -- I liked the quaint indoor town square theme, too. On the negative side: the restaurant food was nothing special - I had a really terrible steak; the elevators were scary-old and in need of upgrades. Overall, it's a solid 3 star property.

A lot changed at the Desmond in the six years since we were last there, none of it good. The bathroom was almost clean -- if you ignored the corners and edges. The food went from what was once quite nice to inedible and the manager shrugged and could not care less. They put food coloring on the roast beef to make it look rare -- it only made it look sci-fi weird. Another dish bore no resemblance to the discription in the menu. On the plus side , breakfast was better. We stuck with bacon and eggs.

Furniture in room not as pictured. Room lacked Internet. Complained, no relief. Finally got new room that required 20' Ethernet cord; charged me 20. Had to get bill reversed. Pool was too cold. Public areas too dark. Bathroom out of date.

We arrived at 12 midnight with our two grandchildren ages five and seven. The staff helped with baggage. They brought in a fridge needed for my husband's medication. Each person we dealt with was very warm and friendly. The accomodations were pleasant. Our meal the next day excellent and again staff was very pleasant to deal with.
