It's a decent size space and all the aviation decor including an old Navy plane was really cool. I loved all the little details like the coffee tables made of parts and the fact the hanger door can be open for your event and you can watch planes take off and land at Albany International Airport. I hope to get to attend another event here soon!

Our private collection of rare historic aircraft is still fully operational and adds a unique charm to the aviation event space that will leave your guests speechless. When the hangar door is kept open for your event, an operational runway becomes an unmatched backdrop for an event that won't be forgotten.

A wonderful event space in Troy, NY for any occasion. Plenty of parking. Excellent staff.read more

The natural light and big windows with river views were perfect for getting our makeup done. They also had chairs with big mirrors for hair. There was so much space to spread out and I loved that we got to spend the entire day in such a great space. My friend already got her sneak peak for photos and the light is just incredible and backdrop of the space was great for those shots. The space was also very private so we were able to use it as a kid hang space during cocktails for our children (a ring barer and the flower girl). The wedding itself was also great with delicious food and accommodating staff. Our friends got to brew their own beer to serve at the wedding as part of the package, such a fun touch!

There are others just like me: practical shoes, really really nice (yes, it's true, even if I cut you off in traffic), and we actually give a shit about most things. For instance, I care about food, like, obsessively thinking about it. So though the speeches were great, and the decor grand, my luncheon with the other librarians yesterday had me mostly focused on the sit down meal that I expected, like most of these shindigs, would be small, tasteless, lukewarm, wilted and overcooked. Like wouldn't it be nice if I looked forward to a GREAT meal instead of thinking the worst, for a change, hmmmmmm??? OK I was wrong, but read on. The starter salads were romaine free because of the recent e coli outbreak. Kudos. Nice creamy balsamic dressing, colorful, fresh. The rolls were sourdoughy, warm and fragrant. Red had a chicken dish rolled around a bread stuffing covered in a rich gravy topped with dried random cranberries, good mashed, perfectly cooked green beans. Apple had the steak, topped with a burgundy sauce, same mashed and beans. The meat was a bit dry but he ate everything. I had the parm, of course. Anyway, it was eggplant, thinly sliced, pressed into a lasagna almost, topped with a beautiful thick layer of flavorful, gooey cheese, a bit crisp on the edges, and a rich red sauce that was better than just about any I've ever had. The rigatoni on the side was boring, as was the presentation, but this parm was perfectly assembled. Wow. OK this is a review of a special event, but let me tell you, the parking is ample, the grounds are spectacular, the space is lavish and beautiful, the staff were courteous and kind and professional (x5). A venue that would be lovely for any special event. Zena, Goddess of Fire (wearing her cool shoes)

Staff were busy trying to get the 3 different choice meals out to the crowd of 200, but by the time last of the group ate, the first people were sitting twiddling their thumbs. Maybe more help would cut down the wait time for the entire crowd. While friends thought the food was good, I was not impressed. My roast beef appeared to be sliced lunch meat with jar gravy on top. The green beans at least appeared to have been freshly steamed (cool when they arrived). Our dessert was cheesecake. (Friends said I make a better dessert.) That being said, to be sociable, I am sure I will return if it is again scheduled for this club.

The vibe is always on point, the energy is fun, and it never disappoints. The blonde bartender is hands down one of my favorites -- she's attentive, welcoming, and always makes sure we're taken care of from the first drink to last call. That kind of service makes all the difference. As for the food, I genuinely haven't had a single disappointing meal or appetizer. Everything we've tried has been solid. My favorite drink on the menu is the Espresso Martini, perfect every time. They also have a great variety of drinks, so there's something for everyone. If you're looking for a fun night out with great food, amazing drinks, and a place to actually enjoy time with your friends, this is the place. They also host a ton of events, so definitely check out their Facebook page ahead of time so you can plan your night accordingly.

The music selections that are used are nowhere near true to bachata clásico. I have tried attending their classes at both Ritmo Room and at Bar Vegan but neither are impressive. They should be embarrassed to call themselves a Latin dance venue. No one should even consider attending unless they find a real instructor who can ACTUALLY dance. Shame too because the venues are very nice. Long story short, if you get to the class and the instructor says her name is Annie, just go home and don't waste your time or money.

This is a great place to dance. I learned a lot from the instructors. I plan to return!read more

The first moment my husband and I toured Takk house we knew it was the venue. The building is…read moregorgeous, timeless, and the exact vision we had for our wedding. We chose to go with the all inclusive wedding package, which took care of so many details that would otherwise be stressful. Our wedding planner/coordinator Andrea is simply amazing. She was so easy to work with and took so much stress off of us, which actually let us enjoy the planning. She was there for us every step of the way and we're forever grateful for her hard work and dedication throughout the process. Sarah the in house florist is unbelievably talented, I honestly could've just given her our colors and let her take the reigns. Sarah's way of bringing a vision to life is breathtaking. Julie the in house designer was also a dream to work with! She executed our vision above and beyond and even suggested ideas we went with that were stunning! After all of the planning our wedding day came, and what a fairy tale it was. My husband and I, our families and friends are just speechless at how magical it was. The day from the very beginning to end was perfect. The timeline Andrea put together for us went smoothly. Her and her assistant Hayley were on top of everything, and also had anything you could think of on them. Shout out to the aprons with scissors, tissues, and anything else you would never think of needing during the getting ready process! We also did a first look on the roof top. I will remember that moment forever, it was so magical and breath taking up there. The private moment we got to share together really made us feel on top of the world. Now to the good part, the food! The in house catering meadowlark was perfection! There were so many options for those who had special dietary restrictions but also so many options for those who don't. Everything, and I mean everything was delicious. The way the Takk house team comes together for your big day is beautiful. You can tell that every single one of them loves what they do and will go above and beyond to make your day special. We can never thank them enough for such a perfect day!!

I got lucky enough to be invited to the All Over Albany birthday bash at the Takk House. I was…read morepretty excited to be going, both for the party and because my niece is getting married there this summer and I wanted to check out the venue. The building is pretty nondescript from the outside with a poorly done modern façade but the interior retains the charm of a 19th century brownstone. When you enter the building you can either go up the stairs or down to the coolest looking non working bowling alley. Upstairs is a large rectangular bar and a grand staircase to the second level. Straight ahead is the ballroom, with men's and ladies rooms in the hallway. Heidi, one of the owners, was kind enough to let us take a peak upstairs - there's a couple of rooms, one set up like a bedroom, the other with a dining table and chairs. I think further along is a balcony that overlooks the ballroom. The 3rd floor contains the owner's apartment and a gym that's under renovation. The place is not bright and shiny and brand new, instead it retains its 19th century charm along with some funky cool thrown in. I think if I was looking for a non-traditional (not cookie cutter) venue Takk House would be my pick.

I've used similar extended stay hotels in the past & always had a good to great experience. Same with the Staybridge. Overall, it was a very good experience. The front desk staff were nice enough, for the most part, up until our last eve & check out morning, did we encounter a new front desk gal who was extremely upbeat & helpful. We asked for a picture together as the waitress at the Ruths' Chris steakhouse pretty much gave us the brush off when we asked if she could snap a photo before we left. The gal gladly obliged & seemed excited to learn that we were newly discovered siblings who found each other a few years ago & this was our first time away together to do some bonding... Here's the rundown of some of my thumbs up/thumbs down/meh... *I was told there would be coffee waiting if either party arrived before check-in. Unfortunately my sibling said the coffee wasn't hot & it was apparent that it was sitting out for awhile. That's a thumbs down! *About the bathroom in the suite - Floor seemed kind of sticky, I found some dust build up on the TP holder & the tub floor had no kind of slip prevention. It almost appeared there was a long time ago & maybe it wore off or was removed? There are marks on the tub floor but that was all. I recently had a knee injury & I was trying to step very carefully while holding onto the 2 small shower racks on the wall which you can place your soap on or whatever. I felt this was an accident waiting to happen & should be taken care of asap before someone takes a slip in that tub. And also, they could do better with their TP. I drove to the hotel & brought some softer varieties from home. But seriously, c'mon! Extended stays should splurge a bit for something like that imo. *We had the breakfast on Sat & Sun morning. Meh... The coffee was ok the first morn (Sat) but not so great on Sun or Mon morn. There's a decent variety of stuff but nothing to write home about. It's definitely a money & time saver to have the option for the complimentary breakfast though so it mostly should hit the spot. It worked for us. *The room overall was nice & cozy. There was a coffeemaker in the room (didn't use it) but I was disappointed there was no Keurig. I guess because they provide coffee but a lot of people like their Keurig's these days & can easily bring their favorite coffee along which I did. Oh well... *The bed was pretty damn comfortable. The room was quiet for the most part but then I was woken up several times during the nite to some weird noises that seemed to be coming from the hall. I have no clue & could not say what was going on. Could have been just a neighboring guest coming in or out because the doors close super hard with a big loud bang (EEK)! *Upon check out we had to do a split bill which I was hoping would not cause any confusion but we had the help of the nice gal from the nite before & a super nice manager who jumped in to make the check out an easy one & didn't mind taking the extra steps to help. Big thumbs up! *Parking was no issue, there's a big lot there. I know it seems I'm focusing a lot on the 'thumbs down' most of all but I write this to point out some stuff in hopes that management will see it & take stuff into consideration & also so people know in advance what to possibly expect. There's always room for improvement but with all that I would definitely consider using a Staybridge again if needed. This hotel was better than a lot of places I've stayed in the past so that says a lot... Overall, a thumbs up experience!
