Washington Park Inn

There wasn’t breakfast in this inn however there was a nice kitchen stocked with items for making breakfast.

The two rooms that face the front of the house needs double glazed windows. There is a lot of noise from the busy road the inn is located on. There is a basketball/ skateboard court directly across the street. Inconsiderate people congregate there late at night playing music from their vehicles with noisy exhaust pipes!! On Friday night we didn’t sleep at all! Saturday was better.

Beautiful, spacious home. Everything was really clean and comfortable. Park is right across the street, easy parking, kitchen and dining room are big and well equipped. The whole house felt really cosy and we really liked the stay.

We booked really spontanious and did not get the checkin instructions on time. Reaching the host was a bit difficult, but it was solved within 15 minutes. The rooms were quite cold, so we turned off the ac in the hallway. The street was quite loud and one window blind was missing.

The house was lovely in a beautiful location. Instructions for entry were clear and immediate. The self-serve breakfast was great! Fresh bagels, eggs, coffee, juice and a wide range of choices of cereals, fruit and yoghurt. Very comfy bed and pillows!

My room did not have a bathmat or soap. When I asked these to to provided I received no response. The rooms are also cold. A few rugs on the floor would warm things up a bit. Finally, I did not know how to make the TV work and there were no instructions.

I loved my stay. It was my first time in Albany so did not have any expectations upon arrival. The location is right across from the park which is lovely and a 5-10 min walk to Lark street and other restaurants. The beds are comfortable and the size of the rooms are great. There is a help-yourself kitchen that has some good basic breakfast items. There is wifi and areas for which you can relax in. One thing important for me is the safety of my individual room. Here there is a chain lock inside as well as the front entrance being guarded by a code lock and your bedroom as well having the code lock. I would definitely come again.

The room was slightly too cold, and the thermostat is located in the halls which meant that changing the temperature of my room impacted the rest of the place. Therefore when others changed the hall to a cooler temperature, my room was freezing! But temperature is just personal preference and I had not brought any warm/long sleeved pjs with me!

great spacious porch with rocking chairs, fully stocked kitchen with wine, beer, breakfast food, filtered water, etc.

poor communication from the host; I had to email, text and call several times just a few hours before arrival because I never received any guidance on how to check in (room number, door codes). I truly believe that if I hadn’t called and texted so many times, they would have forgotten to send me the check in information. I’ve gathered from other reviews that this is a fairly common occurrence. also, the kitchen ran out of non-decaf coffee my second day there.

I enjoyed eating a simple yogurt/granola breakfast one morning with coffee. The next morning grabbed an apple and was one of the best apples i've had in a long time! I enjoyed eating breakfast in the fancy/grand dinning room overlooking the beautiful brick property out the window, so NOT California views! :) Enjoyed the sitting lounge area as well and totally enjoyed the front porch with rocking chairs, perfect while drinking morning coffee!

I did not know the kitchen offerings, until after i purchased a bottle of wine.

very quaint. good location. nice rooms- not huge but just what you need. we didn’t run into any staff while there. nice help your self kitchen for water/coffee.

only minor issue was our room at the front of the house was loud at night with street traffic. I made earplugs with tissue and that helped. not a big deal if you are used to a busy street at night.

Very hospitable with the accommodations. Breakfast was excellent, like you're at home but you didn't have to do the shopping. Plus we arrived with electric bikes and they had a secure place we could park them. We are headed back in a week and when we return to Albany, we will definitely stay there again

I enjoyed how the kitchen had supplies and was available at any time. I also liked that it was self check in and the character of the home. As well as staff I called because I didn't see check in instructions was friendly and helpful.

Some bread products were moldy. It would be awesome to have non-dairy options for coffee/cereal.

It was really easy to check-in, the bed was very comfy, there was food in the kitchen, the living room is full of light and it's right by Washington Park so I was able to go walk around there this morning. Also I was able to leave my luggage for an hour after check-out so that I didn't have to wait at the train station for two hours, I really appreciated that. It's also not far from the Amtrak train station, which is also convenient. I highly recommend Washington Park Inn!
