The food at the holiday party was great, the staff and our room was amazing.
Clean, spacious
Outstanding Property. Beautiful establishment. I will be back.
Beautiful surroundings. My room and bathroom were immaculate. Everything was clean and fresh, especially the bed linens. Highly recommend.
I'm very happy that I had the opportunity to stay here!
We have an elderly family member in Cooperstown and try to visit several times a year. The flights to Ft Lauderdale depart Albany extremely early in the morning or arrive from Ft Lauderdale extremely late in the evening. We have stayed at the Desmond four (4) times in the past two (2) years and have found the Desmond to be the perfect place to stay (both on our late evening arrival into Albany or our very early departure back to Ft Lauderdale). The Desmond location could not be better as it’s only five (5) minutes from the airport (if that). The Desmond is a wonderful hotel, clean with a lovely ambiance throughout (not to mention a wonderful and large indoor heated pool). Freshly prepared sandwiches, snacks, drinks and sundries are available in the lobby and available 24 hours a day. The restaurant has an excellent and diverse menu and the hotel has an exceptionally fast room service with the food delivered at perfect temperature. The staff are exceptional. Friendly, efficient and very accommodating to all our requests If you want a lovely hotel to stay for whatever the reason, we strongly recommend the Desmond Hotel, Albany. Ken and Ann.
Well kept property. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Food is adequate.
The remodeled Desmond Crowne Plaza offers large rooms immaculately kept with all amenities. The restaurant is quite good and the entire staff is helpful and pleasant. My meeting was in another local hotel, but I stayed at the Desmond Crowne Plaza and drove to my meeting. I suggest you do the same.
Excellent accommodations, restaurant was very good. both good and service. Room clean and well appointed.
Very clean hotel with excellent service. 10 out of 10.
Friendly staff, great restaurant, quiet rooms.
I love staying at the Desmond. The staff is super friendly and the room is always immaculate. They have the most comfortable beds too. I enjoy the food and drinks from the restaurant.
Just wish all cost was included in the price.
The renovations are fabulous which also maintained the great qualities that set the Desmond above other hotels!
Very nice room with plenty of amenities. Staff knowledgeable and friendly. Check in and out was simple.
The first room I was given was in disrepair and after reporting I had to Move rooms after a whole day of working only to be given another room with same issue with shower water scalding hot or freezing cold not expected at the Desmond very disappointed and I should receive a credit booked through Expedia which is didn’t realize why does that happen when I booked online clicked on Desmond very deceiving.
We love staying at Crown Plaza in Albany. We've been visiting for nearly 20 years now. It is pristine, very comfortable, the staff is friendly and the food is delicious! We missed the fire this year,though. The only drawback was the cost of the room almost doubled from when we were there in December.
As always, exemplary service and accommodations. Staff knows our name when we check in and out.
My sister and I were amazed with the hotel. Not only was it incredibly beautiful, comfortable and welcoming, but the staff was so friendly and accommodating. We made friends there and will definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely weekend.
very good service and attention to detail.
