My husband and I stayed at 74 State to be close to the Times Union Center. The hotel was expensive, the location was difficult to find because everytime you drove by there were buses blocking the entrance (there is a bus stop right out front with some interesting characters hanging around). The ONLY option for parking is Valet. The rooms... more

We were in a room with a King bed which was very comfortable. Unfortunately, there was only one night stand and light (for a King - are you kidding me - speak about barebones). A small amenity like tissues are not to be found anywhere - yikes. For a boutique hotel, it did fall a little short of expectations. Overall,... more

Only stayed one night en route to Finger Lakes. We found the hotel suited our needs, the rooms being a reasonable size, but well decorated and clean, also the bathroom and shower. Didn't use the restaurant but had a substantial breakfast included in the price. Found the desk staff to be very helpful and polite. Would stay again. more

I stayed here for 2 nights for a business outing to Saratoga Springs race track. The hotel room was big, comfortable and clean. The bed was great. There were two closets in the room. The bathroom was new and clean. There was a flat screen TV in the room and there was internet acess. The staff at the front desk,... more

Stayed 4 nights at this hotel. The room is HUGE with an equally large bathroom. The room is nicely appointed with modern, quality furniture, fixtures, and an LCD TV. The hotel Internet worked GREAT all week. Nice lounge on the second floor, friendly staff... Overall a great stay. more

I had a great experience at 74 State from beginning to end! The staff at 74 State were always available for anything you needed....every time we walked out, there was always someone there to open the door. Even when I was walking into the Starbucks across the street, one of the concierge was walking out and held the door open!... more

I traveled from Northern New Jersey to the Clarion Hotel in Albany this past weekend to attend a show in the nearby Palace Theater. The location was very convenient to the theater as well as many restaurants and bars. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. After coming home at around 2am, the hotel staff helped us locate a late-night... more

This may be upscale for the Clarion chain of hotels, but certainly is not even average compared with most hotels. The front desk clerks were ditzy, my room was dirty, and the wireless internet service barely worked. The bed sheets were scratchy and the HVAC system was loud. My view of the office building next door forced me to keep... more

My wife and I stayed here so we could walk to the Trans Union Center (Old Pepsi Arena). We were very surprised at how nice it was. The room was not big, but brand new. The bed was very comfortable and it was very quiet. Room service was ok and the staff was good when you could find them. It... more
