“Great place! Consistently great service, clean rooms, and quiet nights.Food & drinks: The on site restaurant is excellent, great, creative food choices. Highly recommend the burger.”

“Built in restaurant down an interesting series of hallways for those looking for an adventure. Nice and clean rooms. Sheila and her colleague were a pleasure to work with at the front desk as well.”

“We had such a great time here with our friends!! It’s so nice to have an indoor option that’s not a movie or bowling! We got the hang of axe throwing and then became a bit more competitive with it! Loads of fun! Will be back again!”

“My husband and I got married at the Kenmore last May and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue! We originally were planning to get married at a venue ~45min outside Albany, but switched to the Kenmore so that our guests could stay right next door, and to make the logistics easier for the morning of the wedding. We couldn’t be happier that we made the switch, and our guests loved that they could get brunch right in Albany, explore a little, and then walk over to the venue.The Kenmore is stunning from the grand staircase down to the bathrooms, and their staff made our wedding rehearsal and wedding day a breeze. There wasn’t an event booked the day before our wedding, so we were able to rehearse at the Kenmore and drop of some decor, which made the wedding morning a little less hectic. We also booked Katie O for our day of coordinators, which allowed us to start hair and makeup in the bridal suite at 9am without paying an extra fee, which was unique among a lot of venues we looked at. We had our ceremony on the Mezzanine, cocktail hour in the bar, and dinner and dancing in the ballroom, and it was so easy for guests to move between spaces, and there was more than enough space for our 100 guests. My husband and I aren’t big dancers, so it was really nice to have the separate bar area where we could chat with our guests without being right next to the dance floor. Another perk was that after the wedding, a bunch of our guests headed to one of the bars across the street to continue the party. We’ve recommended the Kenmore to all of our friends and family, and hope we get to attend another event there soon!”

“Our recent work event at The Refuge in Troy was met with unparalleled professionalism and service. The booking process was easy and efficient with quick responses. The space itself was pristine, well-organized, and worked well our small professional event. We have held a few different events at The Refuge over the last year and each time it has been lovely. We definitely recommend The Refuge to anyone looking for an intimate event space!”

“Great place to hang out and play whatever game you may be into. Board games, CCG's, TTRPG's, miniatures, etc. Whatever kind of gaming you're into, there is likely a day of the week (or multiple) that they have people there playing it.”

“World Class competitors and Instructors ! Fabulous personalities will make dance lessons fun as well as top competitive Instruction ! My 12 year old daughter and I are 6 year students here and we love the atmosphere and Instruction at Dancefire ! We are lucky to have this level dance studio in our area !”

“BOOK THIS VENUE!! We started the wedding planning process without fully knowing what we wanted our day to look like but after touring the Mohawk River Country Club and meeting Sal, we immediately knew this was where we wanted to get married. Sal had an answer and a plan for every question or unknown we had. While offering solutions, he also made it clear that there was flexibility in every decision and that we could really make the day however we wanted to. He was incredibly responsive and helpful over the roughly 1.5 years of planning, all while being a really cool person who we were excited to work with.

The venue underwent some BEAUTIFUL upgrades in the time between when we booked and our wedding day which was awesome. A Groom's Suite was added which looks amazing, and the outside ceremony location was redone and I cannot even describe how beautiful this new space is. We lucked out and were able to have an outdoor ceremony on November 2nd!!

Everything is taken care of at this venue which really lessened the stress of wedding planning. We loved the all-inclusive per-person pricing as we didn't have to make even more stressful decisions. Our guests raved about the food (cocktail hour and the plated dinner) and fully enjoyed the open bar. We were able to go in and decorate the venue the day before, just before having our rehearsal, and did not have to pack up anything after the wedding. All of our things were packed and ready to be picked up Sunday morning after our hotel checkout time. It felt like we had full access to this venue the whole wedding weekend (this might not be the case if other weddings would have been booked the day before or after, but this was our experience), and they truly made us feel so special. We really felt prioritized and it meant so much to us. Sal and his wife Stephanie were absolutely amazing and were available to us throughout the entire wedding day- tracking down certain guests needed for photos, bringing cocktail hour food up to us in the Bridal Suite when we were getting my dress bustled, tracking us down to let us know our dinner had been put on our table, getting us drinks if we needed them, moving our ceremony florals into the ballroom to decorate our sweetheart table... they truly made this day perfect and we cannot thank them enough.

Again I say, if you're thinking about this venue, book it! You seriously will not regret it and your guests will have the best time. We hope to get invited back to a wedding at MRCC in the future!”

“I threw a baby shower at Hudson Candy Factory for approximately 32 guests. It far exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is simple yet elegant, every member of the staff was friendly yet professional. They went above and beyond to make sure every moment we were there we had everything we needed. The food was exceptional with all my guests raving about it. Any future events I plan to have, this will be my go-to venue.”

“Went to a "Tulip Tea" We were served several different flavors of tea, tea sandwiches and desserts. A painted champagne glass was given for us to keep. Pleasant way to spend the afternoon.”

“I wish I could give this 0 stars so that I could keep this hidden gem a secret, but that would not be fair. . The food is amazing, with a homemade touch. The beer is great. And, above all, the people we met were all very friendly and welcoming. So glad we found this.”

“Jenny is an absolute professional to work with. Her balloon backdrop for my daughter’s bridal shower was stunning. She stayed in contact with my throughout the whole process and made sure I got exactly what I had envisioned. I would highly recommend Jenny and her services to anyone in need of balloon decor. ?”

“We were the LAST couple to get married at 90 State Events!My husband and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with our experience with Mazzone!From the beginning, Shana and Olivia were upbeat, friendly and responsive!They made the process effortless and we knew we were in good hands, but on the day of our wedding THEY EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!!They worked fabulously with my amazing wedding planner, Kelly from The Main Event by Kelly to ensure our vision was BROUGHT TO LIFE!In our song, “Die a Happy Man” by Thomas Rhett he says “If I never get to see the Northern Lights I could Die a Happy Man.”Therefore, our colors were green and blue to symbolize the Northern Lights.I’ll let the picture speak for itself to see if we nailed it.Our wedding was seamless and EXACTLY what we wanted!MAKI (the bridal attendant) IS THE BEST! I needed floss, she had it to me in less than a minute, my dress needed a tide pen, she had it. I needed lip gloss, it was in her hand before I could ask.Mazzone Hospitality is an amazing TEAM and WORKED as ONE BIG TEAM WITH our amazing VENDORS!”

“The State Room was the first venue that my husband and I visited and we weren’t expecting to be so completely enamored! We would compare every other wedding venue we visited afterwards to The State Room. From the beginning, Lisa and Tom made us feel so at ease with wedding preparations and planning. They were always a phone call or email away and responded almost immediately. They were as invested in planning our wedding as we were and made sure that we followed a timeline and got things done–Tom and Lisa acted as our wedding planners! On top of that, you can’t beat the beauty and grandeur of the venue–just stunning!Tom showed up to the church about an hour before the ceremony to help out–he helped carry my dress and bouquet and made sure I had whatever I needed. You really are his priority and he makes it known. After the ceremony, Tom is right there to give you a bottle of water and whisk you back downtown in his car.I could write an entire review for the food itself. Everyone at the wedding was so full from the amount of food they ate–the largest prime ribs we have ever eaten, endless appetizers, and mountains of cake. And then a fun food finale to top it all off! Our guests are still talking about the food!We had the most wonderful wedding thanks to Tom and Lisa and the rest of the staff at The State Room!”

“I cannot say enough how terrific their service was. The building was beautiful, food unbelievably delicious, and staff so kind and helpful. They were beyond accommodating for our wedding. Truly the venue of my dreams. It felt like a fairytale!!”

“Delicious variety of dinners at a reasonable price. I call ahead, walk IN, pick up and I have a HOT DINNER FOR TWO AS I GET HOME !!!!!! NO COOKING !!!! THANK YOU”

“My now wife and I had our wedding at Takk in ‘23 and could not be happier with how everything went! From our first initial meetings we knew we were in good hands. Having never been through this before, we initially felt overwhelmed about planning but after selecting Takk and working with Heidi, so much was taken off our plate and we were given clear guidance on timelines, expectations and deadlines in ways that was professional, gave us confidence and made the ENTIRE process fun. Choosing Takk made the process something we were able to bond over and enjoy, not stress about. Takk is a beautiful space with so much character and the same is true of the city of Troy. Heidi’s team is so creative and had a ton of options and ideas on design and logistics that made everything unique to us, flow well and stay within our budget. 10/10, no notes! Oh and the food is incredible too!”

“We set almost alone for dinner overlooking the eighteenth green. We only saw 2 golfers but I don't take pictures of peopleI don't know (if at all possible). Entrance is in the back of the building, and could have at least one sign indicating that. I ordered a turkey club $14, and my brother ordered a hamburger $12. Both of us were very pleased with our meals. I am absolutely planning on going again. Service was exceptional and friendly.”

“We had a group of young kids with adult leadership. What a great place to have fun. Relaxed atmosphere, great food and very helpful staff. Thanks to everyone and we WILL be back.”

“An ingenious way to design a downtown plaza. There is an underground concourse that connects all the government towers with the Capitol, and the New York State Museum. There's also a free public observation deck on top of the tallest tower. Above ground there are lovely fountains with plenty of walking area. Plus the iconic Egg that's good for photo ops. You could spend a whole day here! The only downside is that parking can be limited at busy times.”

“My wedding was perfect. Nor was super responsive to all of my questions, and extremely accommodating to my last minute changes to an already last minute event. Nor took on my wedding in four weeks and executed perfectly. My wedding was so beautiful, on time, and organized. I can not thank Sixty State enough for my perfect special day”

“Very comfortable hotel. Beds and pillows are especially cozy. Good location to get to and from Albany center. The fresh fruit was a nice breakfast option. The free evening social provided a full meal and drinks. The desk staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Food and drinks: Food was tasty and fresh. The wine and beer bar had great choices and were free during the social event.”

“We arrived early and on a last minute notice. Since I drive a tour bus, I need to sleep during the day and drive at night so a comfortable/quiet hotel is important. They made sure I had a quiet room and gave me a view of the bus as well as they personally got permission from the mayor to allow me to park out front. They truly went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and even gave me a space heater to make sure I could sleep well. The service alone makes this hotel worth it. Also great wifi so I was even able to play a couple games.”

“My step son Justin Park has played indoor football at Afrim's Sports park in Albany for several years. I saw a Tornado table there months ago with kids wanting to play but the table was all jammed up and not playable. Today I went to watch the indoor football game and brought my bag of Tornado tools and parts and replaced the bearings, a fews guys and pins, cleaned up the playing surface, and rods, new balls and repaired the broken coin slot. Nobody knew who I was or why I was doing this. I had my 518 Foosball shirt on and then met and exchanged personal info with the owner Afrim. I love this sport and love Afrims Sports.”

“We have come in for public skate and also have had private functions here. We can’t say enough good things. The staff is so professional, kind, and patient. Everything from booking our ice time to getting rentals to help inside the rink has been smooth and fun! Every individual we have interacted with is so friendly, they seem genuinely happy to have you there. Plenty of spots to sit down and put skates on. Bathrooms are clean. Will certainly be back!”

“This hotel is beautiful. For those who need a place to stay, you won't be disappointed. The front desk check-in was friendly and fast. Show Evan some love when you go. He was abundantly helpful. He pratically mapped out how to get around the unique layout of the hotel. The first impression was great. Do not let the exterior fool you. The inside is spacious and modern. I want to talk about the staff. I would give the entire staff 10 stars if I could. This hotel accommodated March Madness teams, a wedding, and a 7 State Delegation Council on Friday, March 29th. Go over to the restaurant and enjoy the service of Dave, Tony, Danielle, Ava, and Hayley. Bring your groups here, and have your wedding here. The Crown Plaza has thee best Bartenders and Management I've ever experienced. Thank you all for a memorable evening! Just book the room and enjoy yourself.Rooms: I stayed in a suite that was top-tier quality. The bed was incredible. Im 140lbs and felt like i was sleeping in a cloudFood & drinks: Big D's restaurant is delicious. Try the burger. 5/5 taste and quality.Noteworthy details: Close to the Albany Airport”
