Marriott Albany NY
Will be in town to see Tina Turner. Is this a decent property?

Yes, I was there twice last year and would recommend it for anyone in the area. It is centrally located on Wolf Rd. near a good deal of shopping and rest'. The hotel itself was nice with friendly staff and a decent lounge.

The Marriott there is fine, but the bar is a bit expensive. <g> There's a Courtyard directly across the street if you want something less expensive.
I'm usually there a few nights per year. I would be there for Tina Turner show also, but I have Steelers game in Pittsburgh the next day.

I was there a couple of weeks ago. The room was fine, but I took my wife and sister to breakfast the next morning and the bill for three of us with tip was over $45.00
I have stayed at the Hilton Garden Airport property about 1 1/2 miles down the road several times. The rooms are as nice if not nicer and included a free cooked breakfast for a little less than the Marriott rate.
Tina should be great - but I wish I could get tickets for the Neil Young concert in Saratoga coming up!

I've stayed there a few times, once last year, but it made almost no impression on me. The location is good, near the airport.

I live just outside Albany, and the Marriott is simply par for the course. Nothing overly great about it, but an OK Hotel. There are a lot of good restaurants real close and a mall less than a mile away if you need to shop.
