Beautiful hotel, pleasant and comfortable stay

9.0

Desmond is a very nice, well-kept hotel. The courtyard in the middle of the hotel is a welcome surprise, very visually pleasing and nice to look it. That was our view from the room. We also had a breakfast voucher with our room.

Overall, very nice hotel in close proximity to Albany. Many restaurants close by, nothing to complain about.
