Reviews of Crowne Plaza Albany – The Desmond Hotel
Best Night of My Life!!
Joanne was absolutely incredible through the whole planning process. She made planning so easy, very responsive and helped us every step of the way. Samantha, who ran the show that day was absolutely outstanding. She was organized and really took charge of making sure everything was where it needed to be. Every single staff member we encountered was over the top nice and accommodating.
The food was incredible from the apps to the main course. The bartenders made excellent drinks!
One of the best parts for us is that you get an "outdoor" feeling wedding without dealing with any of the weather elements, balcony view rooms overlooking the courtyard and beautiful mood lighting.
Can not recommend this place enough!
Wonderful Wedding Venue!

The Desmond does everything with class that is hard to match. They have two very Grande ballrooms both with indoor open-air courtyards that are unlike any other reception venue I know. So much space for everything and the food is exceptional. On a personal note, you will be absolutely delighted with the catering manager Don Edmond and all the wedding staff as they are incredibly professional and take care of everything. Their goal is always to make couples and their families delighted and they do!!
