Dual-brand Homewood Suites & Tru by Hilton in Albany, NY<br />

by Michael Cohen<br />

Albany is a 400-year-old city on the banks of the Hudson River and the capital<br />

of the State of New York.<br />

From museums and historic sites in downtown Albany, to scenic views and outdoor<br />

adventures in the Helderberg Hilltowns, Albany County boasts a variety of must-see<br />

attractions. Tour top landmarks, explore the rich landscape or visit one of the worldclass<br />

museums for a trip that is beyond conventional.<br />

This 192 room dual-branded Homewood Suites and Tru by Hilton opened in 2018.<br />

It features two separate areas designed for each brand, unique public spaces<br />

designed to promote social connectivity, a 24-hour fitness center, an indoor pool, outdoor<br />

grills, sport courts and an airport shuttle. The hotel offers a meeting room and<br />

a business centre. The different lobby and dining spaces are extremely large and offer<br />

all of the comforts of home and more. There is 24 hour complimentary coffee and<br />

tea in the Tru by Hilton lobby.<br />

Our room had a kitchen, stovetop, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and<br />

all of the necessary dishes and cutlery. There were two televisions, two queen sized<br />

beds in the master and a safe (always a must for us) as well as a pullout couch in the<br />

spacious large living room area.<br />

I was beyond impressed with the complimentary hot and cold morning breakfast,<br />

from the neat pancake machine to the array of bagels, English muffins, cereals,<br />

yogurts and hot and cold drinks. Next to the front desk there is a small market to purchase<br />

refreshments and light bites.<br />

A huge plus for this property is its location: virtually in the parking lot of the fabulous<br />

Crossgates Mall, the largest shopping, dining and entertainment destination in New<br />

York’s Capital Region. The center is<br />

anchored by Macy’s, JC Penney, Dick’s<br />

Sporting Goods, Primark and Best Buy, while<br />

offering more than 180 retail shops.<br />
