Unless something has changed recently, no. There is the Hilton Garden near Albany Medical Center, off New Scottland Ave. This is an "OK" but not great area.
The Townplace suites on Holland Ave, I think that is a rough area of the City. Lincoln park was always a rough area.
The Crowne Place on Washington (used to be an Omni, then a Hilton) is walking distance to the Pearl Street bars/resturants. Jacks is close by, if you want old time steak house/service. You can walk to the Empire State Plaza and the NYS Assembly building. You can walk to Lark Street, but it is uphill. The good news, it's downhill coming back.
Pump Station is a good suggestion, as is McGeary's, especially for Music.
