The Spotlight on Capital Inn and Suites

Affordable Convenience Just Across the River from Albany Venues

Modern, no-frills, and conveniently located, Capital Inn and Suites is a solid choice for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without breaking the bank. Just over the river from downtown Albany, this 2-star motel offers easy access to top performance spaces like the Times Union Center and The Egg Center for the Performing Arts, both within a quick 10-minute drive.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak Station just 1.7 miles away and major venues like The Egg and Times Union Center within 2.5 miles, getting to your show is a breeze. While the hotel itself is in a quieter part of town, guests appreciate the peaceful nights after loud concerts. The simple check-in process (from 2:00 PM) and friendly front desk staff make it easy to come and go at all hours.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for affordable, shared lodging
Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
Couples wanting a quiet, budget weekend stay
Fans needing recovery time after a rowdy night out
Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than accommodation

Food and Drink Options

There is no on-site restaurant, but the hotel is less than a 10-minute drive from downtown Albany, where you'll find plenty of late-night eats, diners, and fast food spots. While there’s no room service, each room has the basics you need, and staff at reception can point you to nearby delivery-friendly options. Ideal for grabbing a bite after a long night out.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t feature a bar or live music, Albany’s entertainment district is just across the river. Whether you're heading to a post-show bar or looking for a relaxed lounge with craft drinks, you'll find options nearby. Uber and Lyft are readily available and make getting back to the hotel easy.

What People Say

Travelers on Booking.com and TripAdvisor often highlight the great location for concerts, the value for money, and the quiet setting—a nice contrast to downtown’s bustle. Guests also mention the rooms are clean and functional, with reliable WiFi and free parking as a huge plus.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviews note that the hotel is basic in terms of amenities, and a few guests mention the decor could use a refresh. There's no breakfast service or fitness center, but for the price and location, most guests find it a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a clean, quiet, and budget-friendly base close to Albany’s top music venues, Capital Inn and Suites hits all the right notes.

Find somewhere else to stay.

Liked: No breakfast? Coffee didn't open until. We left prior to that.
Disliked: Toilet rocked, toilet handle broken, smelled like pot and mothballs, ceiling falling down, bathroom door broken, floors sticky, chair completely worn out. Took pictures. Did not feel safe at all.

This hotel was by far...

Liked: I liked nothing about this hotel. I suppose the location was near where I needed to be. Otherwise a terrible experience.
Disliked: This hotel was by far one of the dirtiest, most disgusting hotels I have ever stayed in. I ordered a non-smoking room that reeked of smoke. No carpets and filthy floors. My first room was so bad smelling that I needed to request another. To their credit, they put me in a different room for the remainder of my stay. I was happy it did not reek of smoke, but the room was just as dirty, stained, old and run-down as the first. Everything from the beds to the walls, couches, floors, bathrooms, hallways, linens and towels were all filthy, old, stained, broken, and grungy. I've stayed in one or two cheap hotels in my day, but NOTHING compares to how gross the Capital Inn and Suites is.
