SpringHill Suites by Marriott Albany-Colonie

In a shopping district just off the Northway in Albany, minutes from Colonie Center Mall and Northway Mall. The University at Albany, Crossgates Mall and Albany International Airport are all a short drive away. A family-friendly hotel base for shopping, campus visits and quick airport runs.

119 thoughtfully arranged rooms with kitchenettes that include microwaves and refrigerators, premium bedding and sofa beds.
