Hello, I never been to Albany but I was wanting to visit. Im curious about good areas and also if LE is active !!

If I was a provider looking for a hotel to work out of I would probably head to the Latham area or one of the hotels in Clifton Park. These are safe areas and close to the highway for easy access.
