Washington Park Inn

What a gem! I absolutely loved everything about this place. Great, clean rooms, parking on site, organic coffee, milk, granola etc. a lovely, clean kitchen for guests to use. Cozy common spaces. I honestly did not want to leave and will never stay anywhere else when I come to Albany.

Five stars all around. The building is beautiful, the location is safe and quiet, the rooms are spotless and beds are so comfy, and the house itself is clean and stocked with everything you need. I had a room on the first floor next to the kitchen which made it even more convenient to grab water or a late night piece of toast. If i ever come through Albany again i will hope there is a room available!

Old homes that are converted into hotels can be a little rough around the edges. Creaky stairs, and the occasional little hole in the wall due to decades of renovations. This hotel has those tiny flaws, but I'm still giving it 5 stars because this was the best "old hotel" I had ever stayed at. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Also, the food available to eat for free was simple but very much welcomed. The ability to use the kitchen and silverware provided by the hotel was also a nice plus. Also, I LOVE that this hotel had a streaming device already installed in my room with a small number of streaming apps free to use. That in particular is a little luxury I am EXTREMELY surprised most hotels don't have in this day and age, but am glad this hotel had. As long as you can accept that this building is a little old fashioned and a little rough around the edges, this is the best "old hotel" I've ever stumbled upon.

Staying in this historic property was a wonderful experience. Our room was comfortable and we enjoyed the common areas available for guests. The breakfast options were decent, and the kitchen provided the convenience to prepare your own meal if desired.

Thank you for providing a clean, comfortable room after we had to leave a nightmare VRBO around the corner!! The woman I spoke to was very wonderful and even offered to help with suggestions on where to eat. The room was great and loved the self-service breakfast option. We left some beers for fellow travelers, staff, or whoever could enjoy them. If we make it back to the area we will stay there again.

Beautiful location in historic neighborhood, across from great park. Room was clean and comfortable. Owners respond quickly to ?s. Would have liked a box of tissues in room.

Very hateful owners who will make your stay a living hell. Be prepared to freeze to death as they keep the thermostat at 60 degrees and falsely accuse you of smoking to get whatever money they can get out of you. The owners are prejudice rich scum and unhospitable. Also dealt with drunk customers staying there. Doesn't help that the fridge is stocked by alcohol by the owners. This place is at its end

MICE BEWARE||Found mice running around and one came into my room. The mouse ran from the hallway into my bathroom then through a hole behind the tiolet. I was not offered a refund and managment ried to switch me to a room that was already occupied. You get what you pay for.

MICE BEWARE Found mice running around and one came into my room. The mouse ran from the hallway into my bathroom then through a hole behind the toilet. I was not offered a refund and the managers tried to switch me to a room that was already occupied. There was confusion by the managers on what to do. I deserved a refund. You get what you pay for.

No food left for breakfast. Cut my thumb badly. No first aid kit. Called and texted both numbers listed on information sheet. Called a 2nd time and retexted. No response - EVER. Beautiful house but terrible oversight. I am very surprised and more than disappointed that no one called concerning my cut and bleeding. Very dangerous for a business. I would NEVER recommend this Inn. "Accident waiting to happen". Complete waste of my money. Joel S

Very well-maintained inn in a quiet part of Albany (although on a Main Street. Clean, cheerful, well-lit, well-equipped. responsive hosts, although not on site. Someone thought carefully about how to keep this older building up to modern standards, and the effort has paid off.

Found this place on short notice, when I had to travel to Albany urgently to see a family member at Albany Medical Center, and I can't say enough good things about it. It's an old mansion that has been renovated and converted to a B&B type business. No formal breakfast but there is a kitchen with various food available at no cost. I got in late at night and needed something to hold me over until the morning, and found bagels, Chobani yogurt, fresh fruit etc in the kitchen. Also a deluxe water filtration system. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. Sure, there are some paint chips missing in a few places but the place has wonderful character. Entry and room keys are digital with a code that is emailed to you, so no need for formal check-in. Great location right across from Washington Park. Last but not least, it's $50/night less than the Hilton across from the hospital, or any other corporate hotel in Albany proper. And you can prepare meals here, like an Airbnb, if you want to save on food expenses during your stay. Again, I can't say enough good things about this place. Pay no heed to the guy who cut his thumb (there's an ER right down the road, thumb guy!)

Washington Park Inn is a lovely bed and breakfast located in a nice area across from Washington park. It's close to everything so the location is good. The room we reserved was not the room we stayed in therefore making it difficult to work without a desk and the extra space we paid for but didn't get. No one apologized for this inconvenience. The amenities were not as stated on their website either. Only one bike available, no pressed coffee, no charcuterie either. Our bed was comfortable but our room either too hot or very cold. Easy parking and very clean. The cleaning lady was very nice! Make sure and stay upstairs, the rooms downstairs I think would not be very quiet. If the amenities were as they advertised I would stay here again.

My stay at the Washington Park Inn was a bit of a mixed bag. The good: -I love, love, loved the beautiful, ample front porch appointed with rocking chairs and small tables (large enough for a laptop or a plate/beverage). It's covered and raised, offering a beautiful view of Madison Ave and the skate park at Washington park. -The bed in my room was comfortable -The building itself is gorgeous. Built in the late 1800s, it's beautifully restored and wonderfully historic -The room was spacious The less than stellar: -I stayed in room #2. It was sparsely appointed. It had a desk that was all glass, very narrow, pretty wobbly, and ultimately not terribly functional. Other than a few hooks on the wall that had coathangers hanging from the hooks provided, there was no dresser, closet, or any other convenient spot to unpack and store clothing. Essentially, other than hanging up a couple dresses, I was relegated to living out of my suitcase. I travel often, so this is not super ideal for me. -The bathroom was also sparsely decorated. With a pedestal sink and a small table by the door (no where near the sink), there was no real good place to keep one's toiletries (the back of the toilet? It was kind of inconvenient). A table by the sink would have been appreciated (and plenty of room for one!). The kitchen is stocked with basics (bagels, eggs, cheese, salami, milk, juice). One morning, I attempted to make coffee, but was disappointed to find the only options for cream was a little Almond milk left in the fridge. While possibly not the ideal spot for me, for those into historical sites who maybe are a-ok with more basic accommodations, the Washington Inn could possibly be just the spot.

Washington Park Inn This was an interesting B&B. We never saw any of the staff. We arrived at 6pm. We received check-in instructions by email so the lack of staff wasn't a problem. We are not early risers, so we didn't get breakfast, but it smelled great. You have 24/7 access to the kitchen with lots of snack options. The baked goods were wonderful. The room was comfortable and VERY clean. The inside decorating is more modern than the outside would lead you to believe. Great TV in the room. There are only thin curtains on the windows in the room we were in (room 6), so the sun shines in brightly in the morning. Close to several eating options and plenty of off-street parking.

I stayed at the Washington Park Inn while I was visiting Albany for a concert. It's a beautiful B&B style place. It felt a lot like staying in someone's home. Very cozy, melding the modern decor with the historic architecture. There's a small lot in the back to park. The entrance is in the front. The owner provided us keys to our room and showed us around the space. There's a kitchen with snacks, breakfast food and drinks, which is all a lovely addition (do your own dishes and be a considerate guest!). A lot like if you're staying at home! There are a couple common areas to relax, watch TV, and hang out. Our room was great - perfect for an overnight stay with big windows overlooking the street and neighborhood. The bed was cozy - a firm memory foam. We also had a small twin bed on the way to the bathroom although we didn't need or use it. The bathroom is spacious and came with the necessary amenities. The TV was hooked up to wifi + Netflix so we watched a random show before falling asleep after we returned from the concert. It's easily walkable to the nearby bars and restaurants down Madison Ave. We walked to a few spots, which was nice on a crisp spring evening.

Never book this place for long term! I paid $2,400 for 30 nights stay last Nov. because of my work. My job terminated and I only stayed 5 nights till beginning of Jan. I offered generous rates and they agreed to refund $1,500 instead of $2,000 in Jan. The owner, Terra, stated that she would refund by the end of Feb. I waited but she never contacted me. When I reached her, she would send a refund check. It never happened. Since Covid-19 breakout in March, I have patiently waited till now. I contacted her again but no answer returned. I am filing to small claims court with her texts as well!

A quaint gem with a great location. The Washington Park Inn is beautiful. The rooms were spacious, I appreciated the kitchen / work area / other amenities, and the room had a really high ceiling. While the temperature was a bit higher than what I find comfortable, I easily got used to it and had a lovely stay. The porch was an amazing addition, too.

Amazing place to stay Bed and breakfast style Super clean and organized and owner is here all the time. Gave us his phone number so we can reach him at any time Self service breakfast all day and night Fresh cofee, organic milk, yogurt and tea and breads and eggs The front porch with rocking chairs and great view of a park is always clean and great place to get to know others that are here

Pictures do not do justices! This place conquered all my wants and needs. Super clean and relaxed atmosphere. Walking distance from bus station.

I don't want to write this review. Because I don't want you to stay here all the time and tell all your friends and then everyone will know and stay here. Because that IS what will happen after you learn about this place. This inn is the best kept secret since McDonald's special sauce. It's amazing. Great location. Check. Enormous rehabbed, charming historic house from the 1800's. Yes. An entirely stocked kitchen with things like organic granola and Siggi's yogurt or cheddar cheese and Kashi crackers that are complimentary 24 hours a day. Why and how!? Tempurpedic like mattresses. Zzzz. Fireplace in room 3. Gorgeous. Friendly, gracious staff that is actually happy to see you. 100 percent. I could go on and on but you have to check it or for yourself. Next time you're in Albany, make a beeline for this cozy little nest!

I walked through the Inn with the owners to get a feel for it, and really wanted to book it. I'm traveling for work and needed a place to stay for 12 weeks. I was told there are open rooms, with two more opening soon, and we discussed the rates and everything. The owners gave me their number, but didn't respond to my texts or call/voicemail. I attempted to book through air bnb, but they never accepted my request. I had to scramble to find a place to stay at the last minute. I saw other reviews saying they got to the Inn and were stranded outside due to the non-responsiveness. I am so disappointed because the house is so cute and the location is perfect.

What a wonderful find. The Inn is a majestic, converted house. It's B&B style, though you prepare your own breakfast in the very well stocked kitchen. The rooms are quiet, clean and spacious. It's right across the street from Washington Park, with easy walking access to restaurants nearby.

This was a very comfortable place to stay. I was traveling alone and wanted to feel safe and I definitely did. Room 7 was really nice and they accommodated my need for a desk by switching out a couch for a desk. The kitchen is stocked and makes it feel like you are home. Even though the inn was full I rarely heard or saw people except in passing. I could walk 15 minutes to the State Library and to many historic places. You can Uber around easily. On New Scotland there is a good salad place called Counter. This was a good take out option. There is a good book store on Dove and Hudson. Mexican delivery was good. Iron Gate was a nice casual restaurant about a mile and a half walk away. A great place to stay.

Stayed with my kids in early June 2018 at Washington Park Inn at the beginning of a long trip throughout Northeast, and the place and gracious hosts gave us a great start. Well situated across from lovely Washington Park and within walking distance to lots of fun, healthy, delicious eateries. The inn--converted from a 1880ish mansion--itself is quite ambient: our room was spacious with tall windows overlooking the park and lushly manicured front yard. Comfy beds, big bathroom. Very nice porch with rocking chairs to relax on. Inn is not a traditional B&B, but the self-serve kitchen is stocked with more than enough (mostly organic) breakfast food & drinks (good coffee) to get the morning started, as well as complimentary treats and adult beverages to unwind in the evening. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We LOVED our stay here! I really cant say enough about this adorable bed and breakfast! It a restored historical house with a lot of beautiful details and we loved staying with our two children. We stayed in a room with 2 beds. The room was huge, with a large bathroom. The beds were comfortable, and everything had a cozy feeling. The wifi was fast. There was an open kitchen that had refreshments available and drinks (even beer which was nice). In the morning the breakfast was lovely with muffins, bagels, cereal, yogurt, fruit, so many options. We loved it! I read somewhere someone complained that it was noisy outside. I am so glad I didn't let that deter us, because we stayed in the front room on the bottom floor and we had didnt find it to be loud at all. There is a beautiful park (Washington Park I think) across the street that is an added bonus and is beautiful to walk through. Also, the location is so close to downtown. And it is one of the only places in the area that has it's own parking in the back, which is huge becaue otherwise you are stuck looking for street parking.

Pretty good B&B. Great porch out front. Off the street parking. Our room was nice. Owners were very accommodating and it was very reasonably priced. Easy and comfortable place to stay. Bit of a walk to downtown but half of the walk is in the park, which is great.

A hidden gem!! Beautiful historical mansion with comfortable beds and the most hospitable staff!! Clean and quiet in a great location. By far the best value in the area. Help yourself, stocked kitchen and rocking chairs on the porch across from the park. Great place for a cocktail before dinner or coffee in the morning!

We were very happy with this stay (for two nights). We don't really know Albany and the area was just perfect; parking accommodations easy and a relief; an assortment of restaurants, coffee, shops, etc. nearby; and a beautiful park across the street. The manager helped make it easy, gave us keys a quick tour, and tips on getting to great restaurant options. Our suite was private, roomy, attractive, and comfortable. We liked the offerings in the kitchen and our bathroom, and the bed was INCREDIBLY comfortable.

This place was really fantastic. The room was very clean, stylish and comfortable. Terra was very attentive, and so was Matt. The breakfast and kitchen was a really nice touch and really helped make me feel more like I was at a home away from home. Check out was simple, very reasonable prices for everything you get out of it.

While a good idea, it is not well executed. I stayed in the largest room on the first floor. It was clean, but poorly appointed. There were two gueen beds only one of which had an end table with lamp. The only other light in the room was a ceiling lamp, thus if two people wanted to read in separate beds the only option for one is to turn on the very bright overhead lightI. There is no place to put your clothes albeit there is a place to hang two or three items in the bathroom. The so-called Inn has more of a boarding house feel and for a total of $158/night it is very overpriced.
