BEAR ALBANY Loves the 90's!

We had to change the date of our event to May 29-31, 2015 due to a scheduling conflict with the host hotel. It's not an ideal situation, but it's a change that had to be made due to graduations and other local festivities happening at the same time. You can update any existing reservations by calling the Marriott Townplace Suites at (518) 860-1500. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to see you all soon! The 90's had a lot of great memories to celebrate, and that's exactly what we plan to do.
