No coffee pot in room. Probably will not stay here again. I need my coffee first thing with out walking to the lobby.

I cannot say enough good things about the staff. I have been having a stressful weekend and staff were able to make things so much easier for me.
Building itself is obviously older and is showing some wear and tear.

I came for a meeting and really liked the location but my pillows were not comfortable, they look fluffy but become flat very quickly. The pool is tiny but at least they have one. The breakfast was ok. The pancake machine is amazing. I think the staff were really friendly. I think a lot of people stay here because Albany is the capital and there are all the meetings. It seemed like they had free airport pick up too since the air port is only 10 minutes away. I would stay here again.

Good hotel. Seemed a bit dated. But it was sufficient. On a very busy street.

Our recent experience at the Holiday Inn Express on Wolf Road was nothing short of exceptional, particularly for our large group of 15 artists. From the moment they arrived, the management team, Mr Shekhar Varanasi, Sharada and team extended a warm welcome, showcasing a level of hospitality that truly sets this hotel apart.
The environment exudes cleanliness and comfort, making it a space for both relaxation and gathering. The staff's friendly demeanor and attentiveness further enhanced the experience, ensuring that every need of the artist was met with a smile.
Breakfast was a substantial spread. The facilities equally impressive, the pool and gym and laundry room are immaculately maintained, providing ample opportunities to unwind and stay active. Additionally, the spacious conference room, which appears new, served as an ideal venue for group meetings and dance rehearsals for the artists.
Convenience is paramount at this location, with seamless airport pick-up and drop-off services that simplify travel logistics. Its prime position offers easy access to major highways, as well as proximity to shopping mall and a range of dining options on Wolf rd.
