“Renaissance Albany presents an interesting contrast: its striking architecture and prime location near the capitol building hint at an exceptional stay, but service inconsistencies sometimes overshadow the experience. While Wellington's restaurant earns high marks, a more consistent level of hospitality would elevate the hotel to its full potential. For travelers who value aesthetic appeal and proximity to Albany's core, it's worth considering.”
