The property was nice and convenient for my stay.The woman at the dining area on Friday night was rude when taking orders and seemed very overwhelmed. Also, I didn’t get a welcome bag and was told “we’re not allowed to give out any water’’ and to purchase bottled water when I asked for one that morning prior to leaving for work. I didn’t get to participate in their breakfast so a bottled water while staying there so a bottled water is not asking for much. At least I don’t think so.
The Hilton Garden Inn is located in a quiet area of Albany. However there king size bed was a little bit soft for me to sleep comfortably. Don't expect to have bar or restaurant service on the weekends.
Check-in guy was rude, the website stated there was a pool, when checking in was told they had no pool. Found the pool and it was drained with furniture placed inside the pool. Went down on Saturday asked for clean towels, was told they will have them sent up to my room, never got the towels until i went down Sunday morning asking back at the front dresk for towels. There was also a very nasty smell that was coming from the bathroom, not sure if it was coming the tub drain or the toilet. I had to keep the bathroom door closed at all times otherwise the room smelled bad. Also why would you have the bar closed on a weekend?
