Albany Wine and Dine

Nice room ; beautiful views and loved that there was use to a skywalk which allowed us to avoid the cold harsh winter conditions. My only criticism is the hotel bar has a strict last call which also means order your nightcap (midnight on a Saturday) and then slam it down. We were told we could finish our drinks in the lobby; which we did. Otherwise lovely accommodations
