AAnonymous UserWhen searching for Albany's travel strategy, I found that the downtown of the city is not very safe, so I searched the surrounding campus area and found that the University at Albany campus area is 10 minutes away from the city by car. The hotel is located near the campus area
I feel that the cost-effectiveness of the hotels here is much higher than that in the urban area. Most of the hotels in the urban area do not have independent parking lots and require street pas, while hotels near the campus area can park for free. The room is also very big. The hotel does not include breakfast. If you want to upgrade the breakfast, you need to pay 11 dollars per person. It is recommended to go to the city to eat Brunch. The hotel room is big and the facilities are also very complete
