The Spotlight on Motel 6-Albany NY

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from the Music


Simple, clean, and convenient, Motel 6 Albany NY is a no-frills option for travelers heading to Albany’s concert scene. Located just 2 miles from downtown and the Egg Performing Arts Center, this motel offers a budget-friendly base with easy access to live music, local eateries, and public transit.

With free local calls, cable TV, and pet-friendly rooms, it’s a practical pick for concert-goers who want to focus on the show without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its close proximity to The Egg and other downtown venues, you can be out the door and at a show in minutes. Public transportation is nearby for late-night returns, and the area stays relatively quiet—great for catching up on sleep after a big night. Check-in starts at 2:00 PM, giving early arrivals a jump on the day.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stay that won’t eat into their concert budget
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see artist
  • Couples turning a show into a weekend getaway
  • Fans wanting a peaceful place to recharge post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prioritize location and value

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer on-site dining or room service, it’s within walking distance of several local restaurants—perfect for grabbing a bite before or after the show. There’s also a variety of fast food and casual spots nearby for late-night cravings.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music or a bar on-site, but most of Albany’s bars and lounges are just a short ride away. Whether you're into craft cocktails, local brews, or quiet nightcaps, downtown Albany has you covered.

What People Say

Guests love the value for money and the easy access to major venues. The rooms are described as basic but clean, and many appreciate the pet-friendly policy and convenient parking. It’s often praised as a solid choice for a short stay focused on events rather than amenities.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury hotel, so don’t expect designer toiletries or plush bedding. Some reviewers mention dated decor and occasional noise from nearby roads. Still, it delivers on its promise of an affordable, no-nonsense stay.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Albany for a concert and just need a clean, budget-friendly place to crash near the action, Motel 6 Albany NY hits all the right notes.

Benjamin, visiting The Linda Albany Mon, 24 February 2014

Dirty, stained sheets; broken toilet; the building had an overwhelming smell; not a pleasant stay to say the least.

Hygiene and cleanliness seem to...

Liked: Nothing. It is awful.
Disliked: Without a doubt, this is the worst place I have ever stayed.The smell throughout the entire establishment, including the room, was unbearable. Everything—absolutely everything—was extremely dirty.There were stains and hair everywhere, which was very unpleasant.The bed had burn marks, probably from cigarettes or something worse, along with dark and red stains (which looked like blood).The walls were visibly dirty, and the floor was no exception—it was covered in filth.I had to disinfect the toilet myself because it had urine stains and possibly feces. The sink was full of hair and grime, and the bathtub was in a deplorable state.Hygiene and cleanliness seem to be completely disregarded in this place. I didn’t even dare to pull back the sheets because I was too disgusted to lie down. I only stayed because I needed a place to sleep and didn’t want to lose money on a cancellation. However, I would never stay here again.To make matters worse, I made multiple requests to the management through the app but never received a response.

Good

Liked: The location close to the hospital was why I booked the stay.
Disliked: There was 1 washcloth in the bathroom for 2 of us and no hand towels. The floor obviously had not been swept. The bathroom sink still had toothpaste in the sink and on the end of the faucet.
