Morgan State House Inn

Historic briwnstone

Very comfortable room, in an old, stately home. Terrific staff, who are invested in the service they provide.

It was a beautiful property

The Morgan State House is my favorite place to stay in Albany. It's beautiful and comfortable, well located within walking distance of restaurants and the state capitol, and serves a lovely breakfast. I want to give them a particular shout-out as I forgot my cell phone in my room last week, and did not realize it until I was on the train. They carefully packaged it and mailed it by overnight service. I was impressed by their responsiveness and deeply grateful for the rapid resolution of my careless oversight.

A very special experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Close to restaurants and activities. We’ll be back.

Fabulous location for our quick visit. The owner had many useful suggestions. We would stay again if we’re back in the area.

This is a very interesting and unique place to stay. The location is amazing - overlooking Washington Park, walkable and access to many areas of Albany. A couple of suggestions: the parking lot is a short block from the property which I learned just an hour before arriving. The property address is the place where you check in, which is a brownstone with stairs for entry. Upon checking in I was told I would be in a room 2 buildings down the street, and then given a key chain with 3 keys for access to that building, and the room. Its very much like an Airbnb since the building where I stayed had other occupants (renters, etc.). The room was big and comfortable - a little on the older side but that's not an issue for me. My television did not work - it was a DirectTV (dish) system - and it never worked during my stay. To check out you walk back down the street, ring the bell for assistance and enter that building to check in. Overall, I think this is a nice and unique place with great access - but they need to figure out communication and process a bit more. Older folks with mobility issues would not be a good fit for this hotel option!

What a unique spot to stay in Albany - a lot of character, helpful management, lovely location across from the park and in historic buildings. My room was in the "annex" in an apartment building down the block and, while it is not a fancy building, I was very happy with my room (which was a suite with a kitchen, bathroom, large closet, etc.). I had a view of the park and the decor had some nice, funky touches. My only kvetches would be that while the wifi was strong, it wasn't always reliable - it would drop out at times. And, being an old building, it was a little noisy with "old building sounds" at night (it was winter so probably related to the heating). The included breakfast was not lavish but more than did the job and included some nice options. I would definitely come back.

Lovely stay in a beautiful house! We will be back!
