“The Argus Hotel & Cocktail Lounge offers a refreshing departure from the generic chain hotel, its remodeled mansion character a true draw. It sits conveniently close to key Albany sites and boasts an ambiance that feels both charmingly historic and vibrantly current, especially evident in its delightful cocktail lounge and the genuine warmth of its staff. Staying here feels more like a personal discovery than a mere overnight stop.”
