I spend about 75 nights a year on the road for business and I’ve been coming to the Desmond for approximately 25 years. It is always been wonderful comfortable excellent food excellent service. I was happy to say that I find change of ownership has not changed the quality of the Desmond

Staff was wonderful. Food was surprisingly good for a hotel. It's a very busy hotel with a lot of con*******s going on which was a little off putting. Convenient to the airport.

My husband and I stayed at the Desmond for 1 night, we loved everything but the refrigerator was a little tricky to find, it blended in with the furniture and also we had to purchase a bottle water, usually at other hotels we have been to 1 bottle or water is complimentary.

I didn’t like that there was no microwave in the room, otherwise, the room was nice and I enjoyed my stay. The food at Mr. D’s was very good!! P

Lots of space options for mtgs and events. Not a fan of a room facing the inside courtyard. But love the fountain for aesthetics and sound dulling. Restaurant was good but not many GF options. Friendly staff.

Second time I stayed here, the staff in the bar are the best. It’s Albany you come here to drink, not much else around. I will stay here again and will be at the bar every night again

Always my top pick when I'm in Albany! It's so much more distinctive than the typical chain hotels, yet the price is competitive. I love that it has something more closely approximating a real gym, and not just a typical "fitness center."
