“It was beautiful and very emotional for me. Four generations of my family worshiped in that building when it was St. Joseph's Church. Weddings, Funerals, Baptisms, Anniversaries and so on. It brought back so many memories as the music played that I had tears in my eyes. It was an experience that I will never forget.”
“I attended the candle light concerts this evening. It's an excellent inimate cultural experience to share with your loved ones. We saw the Christmas Carol Concert. We loved it and would definitely experience this again.”
“Easy parking in the garage just a few doors down from this well thought out venue. I was here for a wedding. I enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff was working hard and doing a great job. The food was good. The appetizers were presented very nicely on the tables. Overall a great experience.”
“Practice 2 Perfect® recently hosted our 6-Year Anniversary Gala at The Hangar at 743, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.

“We hosted a 35 person work event at the Refuge Event space and it did not disappoint! Our guests loved that they could move between the inside space and the outdoor courtyard. The kitchen had everything you could need and more. Tara, the owner was super helpful and responsive leading up to and during the event. We are so happy we got to support a local business and had a wonderful time!”
“We picked up one of their Friday night dinner specials. We got sauerbraten, sauerkraut, spatzle and an apple tart for $20. It was served in a 3 compartment tray. We got ours to go, but people were in clubhouse eating there from the same trays.
We were also served a cucumber salad? Sliced cucumbers in soir cream sauce? The wife loved it, but, alas I hate cucumbers.
Food was delicious.
The bar was hopping!
The age seemed to be Cucumbers. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I hosted my daughter’s baby shower at The Den, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, everything was flawless. Nicole, the owner, was incredibly easy to work with—responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making the day perfect.
The entire staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy such a special celebration. The space was beautiful, the service was exceptional, and the experience exceeded all expectations.
I would highly recommend The Den for any special event and wouldn’t hesitate to host another celebration there.”
“After capturing events at Takk House, experiencing their staff and food, I cannot say enough great things about them! The location is easy to access, the historic nature of the rooms are gorgeous, the food is remarkable and the staff is endlessly helpful. If you are looking for an upstate New York wedding location, this is a wonderful one!”
“Grace at the front desk is awesome. Always very friendly. The folks who work in the bar are very nice (Nicole?) and always ready to take your order in a timely fashion. This is a great place to go and have a few hours of fun. I do really like Grace at the front desk ... great worker and a very pleasant person ... she is a great asset to Del Lanes.”
“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 been to BeUnieke pop up shop and store front. Honestly it's hidden gem! They are LGBTQ+ friendly and create custom clothing. I stopped by and they showed me their new line, such a dope walk thru experience. I also picked up a pair of kicks before leaving. 1 of my favorite local shops where I can really get all in 1.”
“I visited for the first time last Friday and everyone was really friendly. The staff helped me pick my first Magic the Gathering decks and I got a Fallout themed card holder that I was THRILLED about.
The person working the cafe was really nice and brought the food I ordered to me.
There were several groups playing different this and everyone looked like they were having fun. I played Magic for the first time.
There is a tabletop game library so vast that the shelves of them covered an entire wall, floor almost to ceiling. And it is very spacious with many many tables and chairs.
This place was pretty cool. I will return.”
“Got married back in October 2025 and we chose The State Room. The team made everything so smooth for us. Our guests kept raving about how it was the best wedding and the food was amazing. With all the moving parts of a wedding, they made it so easy to really see how it would come together. Tom really does take care of you and make sure everything goes exactly how you picture it.”
“my husband and i are from here. we are married on 5/18, and each year pay homage to our favorite place and time by visiting a historical establishment in the area. we stayed at the argus motel last night and it was nothing short of an incredible experience. the grounds are beautiful, the staff are very personable and friendly, and our bed was super comfy. the room was so clean and we really enjoyed the butler kitchen breakfast. thank you for everything!”
“New York state's premiere Capital experience it has plenty of open spaces and if you love a modern art it has one of the biggest collections in the world. There is also the egg which was just renovated but has kept much of the original intent.
Great place in the summer for events.
Beautiful views of the Hudson and Albany from the top of Corning Tower.”
“It has been a great experience living at Cornerstone location, wonderful gym facility, best food stores around like Whole Foods, Trader's Joes ect. ... Management and the staff has been very helpful when needed and property is very well kept at all times, would definitively recommend the place.Kathy and Melodie are the best.”

A lot of value at this hotel. We will come back!”
“We shot a wedding at Sixty State Place and were totally blown away. Every part of the space added something special to the story we were capturing. The architecture is truly a stand-out! If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s classy, timeless, and right in the heart of the city, this place is a gem.

“I enjoyed staying here. The hotel is clean and accommodating. The food was good. The staff were all very friendly, professional, polite, and attentive. We utilized the super convenient and free shuttle service. I very much recommend using thr shuttle service.
There seemed to be a high level of attention to detail ingrained in their work culture. I think the excellent service is what made my experience so great. I very much appreciated the protien smoothies on the breakfast menu from Mr. D's. I wish more hotels offered them. The bar is very updated, with highly attentive bartenders. The atmosphere is very quaint, which makes the vibe unique and fun. I loved the koi pond, the inside courtyards, fountains, and live plants throughout the facility. The hotel is close to the train station, Albany Airport, and the capital building.”

“Nice hotel. Staff were all friendly and helpful.
The close proximity to the airport and the Northway makes it a perfect place to stay when you have an early morning flight.
The hotel bar was great, we had a great conversation with the bar tender and a couple of local regulars.
The room was clean, well stocked, and in generally good repair except for a bit of moisture damage in bathroom.”
“Anyplace with that many kids and parents vying for parking is bound to be a little tense but overall the environment is great and it’s a constructive experience.”
“This review is ONLY for skate sharpening. I admit, I'm no expert on the topic. What I do know is that I brought in some VERY dull used skates, and when I got them back they weren't dull anymore. The staff was friendly. And to top it off, they charged less for figure skates than the other local option I found. I'll be going back the next time I need sharpening.”

“We’ve been to this hotel a couple times and it’s always been great! We recently had a visit, had a small issue and the General Manager Sheila dealt with the issue immediately. She not only fixed it but went above for us. She was very nice and professional. We will stay here every time we’re in the area and recommend it to others!”

“We were in town due to a medical emergency. We reserved a room through bookings and it wasn't showing up the manager and desk staff were very busy and very professional and polite they figured out the issue with the room and made a stressful situation for our family a good experience!”
“I found this company back in 2015 and the wonderful job (at the time, my sister loved the giraffe cam) making a giraffe and balloons as a memorable birthday gift always stayed with me. Even though I'm not in the area, I'm ordering again so once again, to make my sister's birthday special again!”
