Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Albany
For most travelers, Albany International Airport (ALB) is the only logical choice. It is the only airport located within the city of Albany, and it offers the most efficient and cost-effective ground transportation options, including direct CDTA bus routes and quick taxi rides. All other airports on this list are located in neighboring cities and serve different regions. Bradley International Airport (BDL), located near Hartford, serves the Connecticut region and requires a significant drive or complex bus and train combinations to reach Albany. New York Stewart International Airport (SWF) serves the Hudson Valley and is a secondary option, though it lacks direct public transit to Albany. Lebanon Municipal Airport (New Hampshire) (LEB) and Manchester–Boston Regional Airport (MHT) are significantly farther afield in New Hampshire and should only be considered if your travel plans specifically involve the Upper Valley or Southern New Hampshire. In all cases, if your final destination is downtown Albany, the distance, cost, and complexity of transfers from these distant airports will far exceed the convenience of flying directly into Albany.

The breakfast is very simple, a few cakes, snacks, coffee and tea, placed on the loby. The two beds are large and do not require an extra bed. Can take children. There are a lot of parking spaces in the parking lot. The surrounding environment is good, across the road is New York State University, only 5 minutes to Crossgate Mall, Walmart. The room has kitchenware and the hotel offers a full set of meals to cook.Very Good115 Reviews

一次超出預期的舒心之旅，這家酒店值得N次回購！
從踏入大堂開始，就能感受到酒店的用心——前台工作人員笑容温和，不僅快速辦理完入住，還主動告知周邊的特色餐廳和步行路線，連我隨口提的“想借個充電頭”都立刻幫忙送到房間，細節處滿是暖意。
房間比圖片裏更顯寬敞明亮，落地窗把城市夜景框成了天然畫，拉開窗簾就能收穫滿屏治癒。最驚喜的是床品，柔軟度恰到好處，像陷進雲朵裏一樣，奔波一天後倒頭就睡，醒來完全沒有疲憊感。衞生間乾濕分離做得很徹底，洗漱用品是淡淡的雪松味，用完忍不住想打聽品牌。
早餐種類超豐富，從現煮的麪條餛飩到新鮮水果、烘焙點心，連咖啡都有好幾種口味可選，廚師長還會主動詢問口味是否合心意，比家裡的早餐還要貼心。退房時發現不小心落了耳機在枕頭下，保潔FromUS$148

Albany in the United States has lived here for a few days. It is very close to downtown. You can go to the museum in a few steps. The room cleaning is just that the sheets are basically not changed. This is very unaccustomed.Very Good101 Reviews

When 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 completeFromUS$110

it was so so nice to have a bathtub in the US! there is an issue with third party booking and breakfast. Paid extra on this app to have a breakfast, and at the reception was told that they have begged third party booking to charge for breakfasts as they cannot provide them.FromUS$151

The sheets in the room were single smelled, the use was very old and the texture was not good. The air conditioner simply couldn't sleep. It was like a motorcycle. It was given to the machine platform outside the third floor. The air conditioner of others was also very noisy. Because I was too tired, I didn't want to toss after I checked in, so I stayed, and turned off the air conditioner at night, otherwise I couldn't sleep.FromUS$144

The room is clean and relatively large. You can watch the sunrise directly if you open the window. Everything in the room is quite complete, including a microwave. The disadvantage is that the sound insulation is average and the heating noise is relatively loud.FromUS$146

The hotel is located near a viaduct but no noise. There are no slippers, toothbrushes, or bottled water in the room, which is more environmentally friendly, but relatively simple for domestic people. Don't expect Hyatt in the United States to be the same as in China. It feels like domestic Samsung standard.FromUS$127
