Albany, NY JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality Group has closed the sale of the dual-brand Homewood Suites & Tru by Hilton Albany Crossgates Mall, a 192-key, extended stay and select service hotel. The sale price was not disclosed.

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Pyramid Management Group, in the sale to Maine Course Hospitality Group.

The dual-brand Homewood Suites & Tru by Hilton Albany Crossgates Mall is a six-minute drive from Albany International Airport and a 30-minute drive from Saratoga Springs leisure attractions.
