The Century House, Ascend Hotel Collection

Stayed here one night during an roadtrip and booked last minute and paid around 100$ and for that it was a good night.
It is an old building but quite charming, bed is comfy and very calm, you can sleep with a open window.
Breakfast was for american standards exceptional with very friendly breakfast staff.

One star minus for the check in clerk which was not really rude but also not welcoming at all. We arrived after 9pm and the gentleman make us feel, like we really interrupting him, we had to ask for all Informations like breakfast times, wifi etc. he spoke during our check in like 2 sentences max, so start was bumpy but afterwards it was fine.

The Century House is the place to stay in the Albany, NY area. Always a warm welcome with a fire in the lobby fireplace, coffee, tea, iced water, cucumber water available. And after 3 p.m., a huge tureen of soup! The rooms are newly updated with hardwood floors, lighting (not good in the bathroom, but bright in the room), fresh and crisp linens, and spacious drawers and hanging rods. A desk and sofa along with the bed(s) round out the furnishings. Free parking, a delicious breakfast and wonderful staff make a stay here the best value you can find! Thank you for a wonderful visit.

Have stayed here several times over the years, this was the first time in one of their newly renovated rooms. The renovations are modern but warm (transitional style) the bathroom had a large walk-in shower and there was a small fridge and microwave. Lobby is warm and inviting with a gas fireplace and leather chairs. Breakfast is excellent - chef prepared, not the usual hotel breakfast fare. Sadly the restaurant was closed during our visit, that would have made the experience even better. We did not use the fitness room or pool, but both are available. This is an older, renovated property which others criticized, but it's part of the charm...it's not run down by any means. Solid choice in the Capital area.

What a wonderfully quirky place I would never had suspected would be in a suburb of Albany/Saratoga Springs. Evidently a popular place for events and weddings. Lots of great extra details makes this place great. Free daily soups at reception along with selection of coffee, iced coffee, tea and water infused with cucumber during our stay. Parking was ample. Staff were super helpful and with a great disposition (downright bubbly). Gladly would stay again if the opportunity comes.

I only stayed one night, but I’ll be back again. Customer Service was superb from check in to check out. Very cozy and comfortable for my stay. The breakfast for guests is amazing, like no other hotel I’ve stayed at. I will definitely return here if staying in the Capital Region again.
