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.

Indoor pool, 24-hour fitness center and a cozy lobby fireplace. Complimentary use of a nearby fitness facility and free self-parking keep things easy. Sensory hint: jump into the pool after a mall run or stretch out in the fitness room before your day of exploring.

24-hour business center, express check-in and check-out, plus a 330 sq ft meeting room for small events. Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet and free self-parking make business travel smooth.

Complimentary buffet-style continental breakfast served weekdays and weekends (weekday hours earlier in the morning; weekend hours slightly later).
