Hilton Albany
First of all, I had a wonderful day at your hotel at the front desk. Sharon and Rachel were awesome. Very kind. Sweet and accommodated. Have a wonderful attitude. That alone will make me go back. Room is very clean very spacious and beautiful. The only thing I didn’t like was that there was no microwave ...
