Riverside Comfort Close to Albany's Top Venues

Modern and welcoming, Courtyard by Marriott Albany Troy/Waterfront sits right on the banks of the Hudson River in downtown Troy. Stylish common areas, a relaxed vibe, and easy access to Albany's biggest concert spots make this a smart pick for music lovers looking to stay close to the action.
Expect clean, non-smoking rooms, speedy free WiFi, and handy perks like express check-in and a 24-hour front desk.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just about 8 miles from Albany's major venues like the Times Union Center and The Egg means you’re only a short drive or rideshare away from your show. After the concert, you’ll appreciate the peaceful riverside setting for winding down. Flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and a generous noon checkout gives you plenty of time to recover after a late night. Plus, the 24/7 front desk is a big bonus for night owls.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends reuniting for a big show
• Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list tour
• Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend
• Fans who want a quieter space to relax post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value without sacrificing style

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s bar serves up drinks and light bites, perfect for a late-night snack. An American breakfast is available in the morning—ideal after a late gig. While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, Troy’s lively dining scene is just a walk or short drive away. And thanks to nearby eateries, grabbing a meal before or after your event is easy.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself offers a relaxed bar setting, you're only minutes from downtown Troy’s vibrant nightlife, including craft breweries, cozy pubs, and trendy cocktail lounges. Whether you want to keep the night going or chill with a local brew, you'll find great options nearby.

What People Say

Guests rave about the spotless rooms, friendly staff, and prime riverfront location. Many highlight how easy it is to get to Albany venues while enjoying a quieter, more scenic setting. The comfortable beds and modern decor also get frequent shoutouts.

Areas for Improvement

Parking can sometimes feel a bit limited during busy weekends, and while the bar is a nice touch, those looking for a full-service restaurant on-site might need to venture into town. Still, most agree these are minor trade-offs for the overall experience.

The Bottom Line

If you want to be close to the music but far enough away to relax after the encore, Courtyard by Marriott Albany Troy/Waterfront is a standout choice.
