We felt totally valued as customers. The hotel is large with several different areas, with some upper scale units which included fireplaces. There was a beautiful wedding party in the large atrium, yet we couldn't hear a peep from our room. The hotel is adjacent to an airport, yet we couldn't hear any buzz from our room, which boasted a comfortable king bed. There's an attached restaurant/bar, and diamond amenities include breakfast for two. We enjoyed our stay at the Desmond, and would return.

Our studio room was clean and comfortable. Plenty of surfaces and storage nooks. Good kitchenette with a trio of glasses, dishes and flatware. Full refrigerator / duel range cooktop. Large microwave.

We were in town for a wedding and will likely not have an opportunity to stay there again. But for a long weekend, this was a wonderful little home away from home for us. Would recommend.

The music selections that are used are nowhere near true to bachata clásico. I have tried attending their classes at both Ritmo Room and at Bar Vegan but neither are impressive. They should be embarrassed to call themselves a Latin dance venue. No one should even consider attending unless they find a real instructor who can ACTUALLY dance. Shame too because the venues are very nice. Long story short, if you get to the class and the instructor says her name is Annie, just go home and don't waste your time or money.

The bed was dented in, the fridge was very humid and warm which was less than fortunate since my food went bad. There were dirty glasses in my room and the gym felt very dusty and humid. My biggest complaint is the WiFi - the wifi was down for myself and co workers. We needed to have Marriott connect our ip address per device. I would say the 1 good part of the trip was the free water bottles.

From the very beginning I knew I wanted to be on the river in Troy, so the moment I toured the venue and met Maria, I felt an instant sense of warmth and genuine care. The space is absolutely beautiful, with the charm and character of a historic building paired with the stunning backdrop of the Hudson River. It provided the perfect mix of elegance and uniqueness we were looking for. The personal staff we had the day of the wedding was incredible! They made the entire day flow so smoothly and made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. And the food... was SO good! Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. Choosing the Hudson Candy Factory was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I can't thank Maria and Ameila enough for their kindness, attention to detail, and the support they gave us from start to finish. If you're looking for a venue that feels personal, picturesque, and full of heart--this is it.

I love the food that I have, especially the burgers and the chicken wrap. They have great appetizers like buffalo chicken eggrolls and they offer gluten free pizzas menu. I have never had a bad dish. Its pretty big for a golf spot/bar. The golf is pretty reasonable--a great way to spend a rainy afternoon. I also like most of the staff I have dealt with, especially Britany, she is very accommodating- and works hard. The one negative for me is the music on some nights. Music adds to the vibe of a place. This is NOT a-country bar but certain wait staff would like it to be. There are customers who hate country, some hate rock and some hate pop. For this reason the music should be diverse. I was with a group last month and we had to ask them to change the constant country music. It ruins the vibe. Other than that this is a great spot in latham for golf,food and to watch sports. Definitely recommend!

Five stars just doesn't do The Argus Hotel (TAH) justice! So many more could be awarded but for…read morenow I am relinquished to conform and will try to do TAH justice in my review. TAH is a former mansion turned attorney's office turned B&B, currently owned by Terra and Matt. A dynamic duo with a powerful history of business savvy, hospitality, craftsmanship, culinary experience and so much more. TAH was an amazing place but it was these two that welcomed my family into their home and embraced us with all of our nuances and imperfections as if they were part of the family too. Attentive and observant of what we needed, what worked or didn't in the house and were quick to adjust as needed. TAH is still a pretty new hotel and they are doing an amazing job ironing out all of the kinks that come with anything new. I was speechless when I first entered the house and spent hours absorbing the beauty of the house and their labor. As for the actual hotel...Built in the late 1890's, the hotel has the modernized features of central AC, WiFi, Satelitte TV, etc. but still holds the historic charm. The walls are adorned with hardwood paneling, wood floors and classically decorated with beautiful, modern furniture mixed with some classic pieces for added flare. There are a multitude of rooms for sitting and enjoying conversations and cocktails at the rustic bar in the main entrance as well as ample seating in the main area where the tremendous fireplace can be enjoyed. The bar serves a full menu of drinks which can be enjoyed whether you choose to stay at the hotel or not. Sleeping rooms are plentiful too and nicely decorated. There are a full compliment of sizes and configurations, even a separate carriage house turned into a perfect spot for families needing a bit of isolation from the main house. The carriage house/ cottage also has a small kitchenette, bathrooms, living rooms, etc. My wife, son and I stayed in the suite with the sun room off the back. A large room enough room perfect for a family with smaller kids and the ideal spot for a relaxing afternoon in the sunroom. All of the rooms were well stocked with the basic necessities and each had their own keypad for access as did the main entrances to the Hotel. This was my first visit to Albany so I was not familiar with the area. Having some down time between family events I did make my way out to some local restaurants and the neighboring park. I enjoyed the area and the scenery of the neighborhood and would definitely encourage anyone to do the same. The area has so much local flare and personality to enjoy it should be considered criminal to miss out. I am counting down the days until I can return for another phenomenal stay!

This is a review of only the cocktail lounge. Friends from out of town were staying in the…read morecarriage house behind the hotel and we agreed to gather in the lounge for a drink or two. The building itself is impressive, although maybe not quite as impressive as the castle-looking building next door. Our party of seven settled in at the bar as there otherwise did not seem to be a large enough table for all of us to gather around in either the main lounge area or a small room off to the side. The dark wood paneled walls, large fireplace, assortment of easy chairs, couches, and high desktop table gave off a feeling of warmth and welcoming. The friendly bartender introduced herself (sorry I've forgotten her name) and informed us that spirit-wise, the bar was capable of preparing the standard, traditional drinks like Manhattans, martinis, etc. All beers were poured from cans, and at my request, she recited the names of about six that were available. I don't believe anyone in our party inquired about the wines that were available. The building simply calls out for an explanation of its history. Upon our request, the bartender offered to provide either the "brief" or "full" option. We requested the full history. She was obviously well up to the task. You would be amazed at the variety of things you could learn here. Just to touch on a few key topics that were mentioned, consider Alexander Hamilton's wife, puffed rice, Bab-o cleanser (cue up the jingle), Bishop Gibbons, and an orthopedic surgeon. I don't know what the normal food arrangements are in the Lounge. I'm guessing that our out-of-town hosts requested some snacks for us as a few bowls appeared with mixed nuts, crackers and cheese, fresh grapes, humus, and warm pretzel/croissant rolls, and a plate of prosciutto wrapped cream cheese. Overall, the atmosphere here is simply friendly and inviting. I think it will become an occasional gathering place for our local friends when looking for a place that is quiet and relaxing.
