3-star hotels in and around Albany
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels in and around Albany, gathered for travellers who want a simple, well-rated base in the Capital Region. Two options appear here, each suited to a different kind of stay.
Staying in Albany
Albany sits at the heart of New York's Capital Region, and the hotels on this shortlist place you within the wider Albany area rather than in one single quarter: one address lies in Schenectady and the other in Delmar. Between them you get a choice of a full-service hotel and a self-contained apartment-style stay.
Couples and short-break travellers are the natural fit for the Homewood Suites By Hilton Schenectady, with its 4.5 guest rating from 654 reviews. Families and longer stays lean towards the Cozy and Walkable Delmar Getaway with Fire Pit, whose kitchen, oven, dishwasher and laundry-style setup make everyday life easier. Business travellers will find both practical, since each provides free wifi and non-smoking rooms, and the Delmar property adds a 24 hour front desk.
