Hey Elmhurst Nick! A number of my Hilton stays this year were in Albany. I started at the HGI there for $119/night and then also moved on when they raised their prices. Not wanting to leave the Hilton family I stayed at the Hampton Inn on Wolfe Road which was not so great. I then tried the Hampton Inn in Latham a couple of times which I prefered and always at less than $100/night. Each time I stayed there they gave me the same quiet corner room looking out onto a field.
