Everything! Such beautiful decor, comfortable bed, all the amenities I needed, large variety of options for breakfast and great location for walking to good restaurants and nightlife.

Nothing. It was all amazing! Definitely going back.

"A Great Weekend in Albany at the Argus"

10.0

The whole checking in process was seamless. Sent a code to my phone and walked into the place upon arrival and went right to the room. The staff was friendly and full of history of the actual facility which I found out is only a bit more than a year old. Our room was bigger than my college apartment - apparently I received what would normally be a family room as it had a completely separate breakout room (no door) with a large daybed. The appliances were modern but made to look older - added a cool effect. The facility itself is huge inside with a great bar and very knowledgeable bartender. The drinks were top notch as well.

Not a criticism just an observation - there were no pictures or anything of that sort on the walls in the room. I asked and was told that the place is so new they are getting to everything and plan to fill the space with art from local artists. I had no idea the place was that new.

"Very good"

8.0

I found our room to be spotlessly clean. The building is charming and the breakfast room was cute and cozy to hang out in.

The rooms are very small and basic. Also, I am not sure why the door to our room was wide open when we arrived, as a result, we got eaten alive by mosquitos while we slept.

"We loved the Park and the architecture of the hotel, but were disappointed in the overpriced room."

7.0

The breakfast and evening snacks (part of the deal) were excellent and abundant - breads, fruits, granola, yogurt, milk, great coffee and also tea. Very comfortable dining area. Nice example of architecture from early 1900s. A short walk to Washington Park ( a real gem that visitors should review on washingtonparkconservancy.org website before hand ). The bed clothes were fine, that is luxurious, and the mattress was very comfortable.

The advert implied that there were park and lake views - the view from the room consided of a back patio and into the neighboring parking lot. Basically the H numbered rooms seemed to have been built into the old servce wing of the mansion or added on. The bathroom was excellent - nice towels too, but the room was small, just enough space to walk between the wall and the bed. The desk did not have a chair - no closet - just two hooks on the back of the main door to the room and a bar with 5 hangers that swung out from the wall in the room. Really very small compared with the price. There was dust in the desk draw, but the rest of the room/bath was clean. The sleeping wing was not quiet, that is, you could hear neighbors opening the cypher locks on their doors (beeb, beeb, beeb).
