I planned a party recently for a stop on our recent Motorcycle run thru the southern tier of New York. I hadn't been to Andes in decades. This little ski town is a hidden gem near the reservoirs of NYC in Downsville. The restaurant and bar are clean and well staffed. the buildings architecture is historic and the exterior space and gardens were well maintained. It was nice to people watch on the busy street. The food was good and on time for an event of 30 or so people. Terra was working and she made sure everything was wonderful. I really appreciated her efforts. I would definitely set up future large group events here at the hotel. read more

Recently stayed in room two for a long weekend. My stepdaughter was getting married in a nearby town and had secured a block of rooms at this hotel. I use the word hotel lightly. This is clearly a motel. We arrived on a Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. They do not have a "front desk ". We found someone in the tavern who was able to check us in. That was the only time we saw anyone working related to the hotel the entire weekend. Before we even arrived at the hotel there were issues with communication. Some of the wedding guests struggled with their reservations and were charged more than what was promised when booking the block of rooms. It took several attempts Via email and cell phone to get this rectified. We were shown to our room and I was immediately disappointed. The room looked nothing like the pictures on the website. The first thing we noticed when we walked in the door was the musty, damp smell. It had a basementy smell to the room. Our room had two queen size beds that were as hard as a rock. There was no dresser to put your clothes. They did have a couple of hangers and two small shelves for storage. The carpet was dirty. There was a small table with two chairs. The table was all scratched up with chipping paint. The worst part was the flies! You know it's a bad sign when there's a flyswatter available in your hotel room!!!!! On the morning of departure, I pushed the toggle switch to turn the light on by the vanity and it popped off. My husband who is an electrician, popped it back into place but the light still did not work. As we were leaving there was no one at the hotel to notify of the broken switch. The following day we received an email stating that we would be charged for the "ExtensiveDamage" to the switch and vanity light! We responded to their email and stated that the switch and the light were intact and we could not understand what extensive damage they were referring to. We also reminded them that there was no one around that we could communicate this to, prior to leaving. I have never stayed in a hotel of such poor quality and customer service. I honestly would have preferred to have stayed in a tent at a nearby campground. Trip typeVacation · Family Rooms1.0Service1.0Location2.0 RoomsDirty. Musty smelling. Lots of flies!! read more

We stayed at the hotel and enjoyed dinner in the restaurant. The hotel room we stayed in had a double bed and two twin bunks. It was perfect for our group, with cute, quirky decor, including a large bench/space by the door that was perfect for hanging bags and coats, and for stashing our luggage. Dinner was a treat. The town of Andes is small and charming, and we ate on the porch with views of the main street through town. The food was delicious - so fresh and flavorful. We got a shrimp cocktail starter, a burger, fish and chips and a crab cake platter. All the dishes were high quality with great portion sizes. I'd recommend the hotel and the restaurant for couples and families. There's a cute thrift shop right by the hotel, and a diner and a coffee shop on the main street. This was a great home base for exploring the area, including Cooperstown and the Ommegang Brewery. read more

Yes, delightful place. We went to an event celebrating latest edition of "The Findery" THE MAKERS ISSUE. It was held in the yard behind the Tavern itself. Local cider and many other treats were served. The participants, and those invited had a lovely time. People were excited to meet old friends and make new ones. The latest issue of "The Findery" was handsome and people said so and also just enjoyed each other. We stayed overnight : the room was both rustic and very comfortable . Some time honored movies were available if one wished to be entertained. Elizabeth N. read more

Friendly bar and lots of games. The food in the restaurant is good as well. Nice on the deck on a summer night

First time, amazing. Second time ( after a failed meal somewhere else), amazing. The barbecue chicken sandwich and the double bacon cheeseburger. Oh and the fish tacos and the waffle fries with the sour cream and one of the nicest parts of our experiences was Maurizio. He worked that room like nobody's business and it was a wonderful experience especially because of him so thanks PS the food being so good didn't hurt either lol!!! Th ants read more

Uneven. Sometimes the food is adequate and never much more than that. Sometimes it is terrible. Same with service. The place was redecorated fairly recently. It's ok though in some ways it was more appealing in its more vintage state. read more

In town for a wedding and you can't beat the location. Rooms are older but lots of space to spread out. Cable would not work, sink would not drain and neither the heater nor air conditioner would work. On the plus side, the bed was comfortable and the water was very hot! There is no cell service in this town so you have to rely on WiFi and even that is slow. Overall the staff was very nice. Check-in is inside the bar. Speaking of the bar that was a fun place to hang out on Friday night because they have karaoke. read more

Although we don't actually stay at the hotel because we decided to drive home instead of stay the night , the manager/owner was very very nice and accommodating. If we are ever in the area again we would stay here for sure!! read more

Bartender was nice, but we waited over an hour for very lackluster food (do NOT order the steak!) and although we appreciate being comped a third beer, we aren't three-beer people...being given our second one would have been better. The wings were good! read more

Food and service at the restaurant were decent. We were staying at the hotel which was not great. Rooms were very dated and banged up and lacked basic amenities. No working Wi-Fi or cell service, the room phone didn't work, no iron or hair dryer, no water and no cups to get water from the sink. Go for the food, skip the hotel. read more

Went there for dinner with family. We didn't know when we walked in that the dining room was closed and the only had a limited menu in the pub. If we had known that we probably wouldn't have gone. However, food was good. Service as well. Nothing special really. Just ok. read more

First time coming here and the entire experience blew me away. Every dish we ordered was excellent. The hot wings were the best wings I've had in a very long time. The lobster bisque was great. The surf and turf with the king crab legs was unbelievable. Quality was in every aspect of the meal all the way down to the side of potato salad and the blue cheese dressing on salad. Our server was very nice and welcoming. And the chef is a great guy, he came out to our table multiple times and made sure we were happy with the food. I left this place smiling from ear to ear. This will now be my regular spot. read more

We stayed there for 2 nights, the room was very clean and modern, we did not leave the hotel to dine outside the food was fresh and delicious. The owner was a very outgoing New Yorker. There is an adjacent bar next to the restaurant the atmosphere is very pleasant . read more

Our room was recently redone and very nice. They have an outdoor area for picnics. The restaurant is full of locals, which was fun. We played darts. it is in the middle of town and you can walk to a cider brewery and local hiking trails read more

Decent ambiance for a dump hotel and bar in a small town. Prime rib was like dog food and lobster tails were from Walmart only $70 for combo. Nothing beats the smell of a bathroom urinal cake smacking you in the face when you walk in to eat. How can you show up to work every day and smell human feces and not address it. Could be so much more, it's kind of sad. Rest In Peace. Please light a candle for the employees sake. RIP. Also serves shots in ketchup containers for some reason. read more

Cool hotel in the town of Andes. Rooms are spacious, modern & clean. Nothing fancy but If you need a place to stay in the area try them out. I have noticed food prices are kind of pricy at restaurant and can be hit or miss. So you might want to search for other food options if you have the time. read more

I love the Andes Hotel! Food is always consistent and the deck, the tavern and the dining room are all super comfortable. Food and service are always good. This is a go-to for my husband and me. read more

Andes hotel accommodated us even though they were closed for a party! lovely staff and lovely chef. The food is absolutely amazing!! nothing was open that night cause of the snow storm, they were thoughtful and sweet to still serve us even though they were closed. we are coming back and eating here every time we visit! Thank you all for such great hospitality!! read more

The Andes Hotel is under new ownership and is just fantastic. I didn't stay over but the outdoor restaurant with heat lamps and fire pits was fantastic. The food was great - had the boiled peanuts, caesar salad and the chicken sandwich. The servers were an absolutely delightful bunch making the best of things during covid. The new owner was walking around helping out and saying hello to everyone. Someday I'll go back to try the caviar on waffle fries. read more

Had a very enjoyable dinner here with the family! Nice selection of draught beer and wine. I had the Beaver Bite IPA ( Excellent), while wife had a Pinot Noir (very good). Started with apps...Garlic Shrimp, Tomato and Mozzarella, Shishito and cheese toast were all very tasty and popular with our hungry crew. Mom and one son had the Chimichurri Steak, I had their burger, and other son had the Salmon. All were delicious, and well enjoyed! A nice atmosphere, friendly service, and a relaxed pace made for a very enjoyable evening! Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Stopped in to pick up some food after a long ski day, had some amazing steak sandwiches. Am recommending this place for food to all our ski friends, but a stay overnight is now on our todo list. Very welcoming staff. J&D&e read more

Awesome local smoked trout plate and Catskills brews at the bar... haven't been in the restaurant or hotel, but the bar is like the Cheers of the area. Great local hang with pool table, darts, great food, and really friendly people. And, it's down the road from the magical world of Bovina. The bar is definitely worth a stop for smoked trout when in Andes. Also if you're visiting the area, my advice is stay in the mountains around Bovina and check out the Bramley Mountain Trailhead, Wayside Cidery, Table on Ten, Brushland, etc. Bovina is like the Polebridge, Montana of the East! Both are places you've never heard of, but magical hidden gems you'll be lucky to visit. read more

I hate writing reviews like the one I'm about too...but the owners need to be aware of the service and food they are serving to the public. Went into the restaurant as a party of 15. Large parties are difficult to serve, but any good restaurant should be able to accomplish the task! The Delhi Diner had no problem with servicing 12 people for lunch. The Andes Hotel just couldn't accomplish it! Where to start! Upon being seated, all of our party immediately noticed the lack of air ventilation let alone AC! It was a warm day and temp outside neared 90 and inside the restaurant was about the same! For people who are in their 60's, it is difficult to enjoy a meal under these conditions. It was noted the adjacent bar was Air Conditioned. Why on Earth would you not Air Condition the dining area?????? The service was extremely slow. I noted the time we arrived and when we left. It was almost 2 3/4 hours. Nobody ordered after dinner coffee nor desserts... nor were we asked! At that point of time everyone just wanted out of the place! As for the food.....another big disappointment! The food is overpriced for what you get and the quality is not up to par. Nobody liked their steaks. Over or under cooked and the quality of the beef is NOT prime grade beef. What I ordered was the STEAK AU POIVRE medium. What I got was about a 8 oz piece of steak that was cooked well done, lacked flavor, and not what I'm used to ordering a steak at a restaurant for $24. Another member of the party order the Ribs. They came out 'dry' and the waitress was asked to bring out some BBQ sauce. What was brought out was a small metal cup of BBQ sauce that was just taken out of the refrigerator! Now why would anyone wish to put cold BBQ sauce on Ribs? To add insult to injury a $.50 charge was added for the extra BBQ sauce! The previous week I was eating at a BBQ joint in Texas where customers can walk up to a large barrel and pour out as much BBQ sauce as they want for no additional charge! It's a combination of many complaints that made this dining experience one of the worst I've experienced in quite sometime! A huge disappointment! read more

Very Good Beer Menu, although the Rochefort 8 I had Mon was chilled for too long. I have had burger type things, steak and eggs, and more elaborate fish, as well as chicken, entrees for meals. I have enjoyed most of that stuff..... Good mix of locals and non locals. They have music too. I has to spend a night in the hotel last Sat night becuase of snowy roads and that was alright. Too bad the bar had closed by then though..... A bonus is the bar room offers (free) hosue popcron. I always like when places do that, though theirs here seems a little stale. read more

Early Friday night dinner in the bar area for four. Upon entering, the entire restaurant smelled of smoke which, for me, is ultra gross and unhealthy. Our waitress was curt and basically threw the ordered food on our table. The soups were missing utensils and our 4 onion soups were cool by the time she returned with spoons. Everyone but me enjoyed the soup. I found it overly seasoned with something I obviously dislike. The main dish I ordered was horrific. A chicken quesadilla which was deep fried and I mean DEEP FRIED. It was filled with something hot and red but the amount of chicken was minimal at best. This is usually my favorite dish but NOT HERE. Prices were high for the area. Without drinks and dessert, the bill came to $83.16. I gave it 2 stars but 5 pepcids. read more

Hmmm where do I start. After a 4 hour drive, getting lost about 8 times, and realising I'm addicited to my cell phone when coverage ceased, I found myself in the forest. Deep, deep in the deserted forest. I wasn't sure why my friends decided to purchase a home out here, so I made the trek from my buzzling abode in Manhattan to visit their extremely quiet home in the Catskills. And quiet it was.... I even witnessed the first signs of snow, and eagerly awaited a black bear to climb the porch for cover. We ended up braving the cold and went to The Andes Hotel for dinner. It was nice to see that the bitter cold wasn't going to stop the town kids from trick or treating. Once inside it was toasty warm. The place was lit by candelight which brought on a cozy feeling. They had a number of different soup options to warm the belly and the corn chowder tickled my fancy. It was delicious. The roasted prime rib was a little dry, although I did ask for well done, so I can't really complain there. The mashed potatoes and roasted pumpkin though, were extremely tasty. And the creme brulee for dessert was so good that it made me want to order another 50 of them. It's extremely rare to find a decent restaurant in a one street town, especially a restaurant which looks like a pub, but to my surprise this one filled the belly nicely. The service was what you'd expect in a small country town - friendly, and a little off beat. And all the locals called Bob entering the place, after a hard days work tending to the cows, with their cask of wine in hand probably waiting to eat one of them. No, not a friendly off beat worker, (just coz it's the country & their name is Bob, it doesn't mean they're cannibals), but one of their pet cows named Bertha. My Bertha, although dry, was tasty. I would have preferred her to not have worried so much about her weight, as a little more fat on those thighs of hers would have been ideal. read more

This is my first time here. My daughter and son in law come here every Tuesday in a dart league , tonight I decided to join them. A lively and friendly dart league... enjoying drinks and fun... me included even though I was only watching. But the 1 bartender , put a crimp in our enjoyment factor with her sour puss and non responsive service! 1 female bartender with a fun crowd like this , 10 seats at the bar and 8 tables having dinner should have had a BIG SMILE ON HER FACE!!! Cuz she'd have a lot more cash in her cup. read more

Ten years ago my wife and I dined here while staying at the nearby Roxbury Motel and really enjoyed our experience and our meal. Upon a recent visit earlier this month, we were disappointed to find that a lot has sadly changed. For a Saturday night, the restaurant was dead which should have been a sign of what to expect. The attached bar was busy with obnoxious and loud bikers and snow mobilers who contributed to an uncomfortable dining experience. The pub fare (wings in particular) were flying out of the kitchen and to the bar. I have nothing against pub fare but when you're looking for fine dining, this was not looking good. Not a good scene for a romantic dinner out when a creepy drunk sucking down wings and beer is staring at your wife during our entire meal. The restaurant menu is on the small side with mostly common fare, again, different from a decade ago and even mostly different from what is currently posted on the website. My wife was disappointed to see Steak Au Poivre (which was excellent last time) replaced with a flat iron steak she was able to get with a peppercorn sauce. I'm told her sides were good but not so much the steak. We ordered a smoked trout appetizer which is a popular dish in the Catskills. It was good, no real complaints. Nothing exceptional though. I ordered Pork Schnitzel which was tasty and large but mostly overcooked, burnt and greasy. It wasn't terrible, just not very good.We skipped dessert. Considering many of the great newer restaurants owned by weekenders and Manhattan ex-patriots in the area, this place has lost its appeal to us. Maybe it's popular with locals and maybe that's who they're attempting to cater to more but we were quite disappointed. Our fancy evening out lasted less than an hour and we left a bit bummed and unsatisfied. Don't think we'll be back. read more

For my husband's birthday I called the Andes Hotel and made a reservation for Wednesday Wing night for our small party to celebrate. We frequent the Andes Hotel for Wing night especially, one of our favorite nights of the week to go out! When we arrived, Scott and his team had gone above and beyond to set up a special table for us indoors with doors opening to their covered porch with more special seating for us to enjoy our cocktails and mingle on the porch before ordering our dinner! We enjoyed excellent service from our waitress Gabby, Krista the bartender and the rest of the staff as well - Derek, the owner also stopped by our table to say hello and offer birthday wishes. The food was top notch, everyone in our party ordered various flavors of wings and delicious "Andes fries" and we all commented on how great the flavors were. I highly recommend the Andes Hotel for a special occasion, or to just stop in for a delicious bite and drink! read more

For the restaurant- A nice place, a good creative menu for being in a small town. Prices are decent- but not horrible. Sitting on the patio on a nice summer afternoon, looking out on a pretty cool small town...a great way to spend a relaxing weekend. read more

Hey there all, I just wanted to update the post... I still stand by my review of Andes Hotel and wanted to add this tidbit I got from the owner of this establishment. Now most people know with Yelp being bigger and bigger, owners are becoming more and more transparent and thus some are not liking what they are reading and hearing. In my experience, all of the negativity is sort of a wake up call that they need to attend to their business more. That being said, here's what the owner sent me: I wanted to respond to your review of The Andes Hotel with a suggestion. I am the Chef and Owner of The Hotel. My wife and I work very hard at what we do, trying to attract a clientele ranging wide from blue collar stone cutters to affluent second home owners and proffesionals. We have tried to create an atmosphere that is attractive to both mentalities and budgets and much of what we do reflects the casual style we display,. That being said, we do not take short cuts in the preperation of outr food, we dont use processed or frozen foods, and all of our fresh products are just that , fresh. Everything, from the fries on our burgers to the blue cheese with the wings is made on premise. If you did not like the food you were served, you are entitled to your opinion, this is the land of the free, however, i really dont appreciate it when people make statements that are simply untrue for the sake of "artistic License". Labeling my food "straight out of the freezer and insinuating that my food is "off" because "a friend was ill a few hours afterward" is incredibly insulting., and absolutely untrue. MY suggestion is this, the next time you decide to critique an establishment that you have visited have enough courtesy to think about your criticism and whether or not its accurate or appropriate. Here's what I wrote in response: Hi there, I actually feel my review was fair and to the point, this is what Yelp is for. To give the average consumer the option of seeing, from the customers eyes, what the establishment has to offer. *snip* MY suggestion is this, the next time you decide to critique an establishment that you have visited have enough courtesy to think about your criticism and whether or not its accurate or appropriate. --- This isn't about courtesy, this is about my experience. So two things are happening here. First, you are telling me and trying to control what my experience has been. That you can't do, why? Because you are not me and you did not have my experience. The service was awful, the food not very good and the atmosphere was bland. This was MY experience. If you were the customer, and had a different experience then you could write your own post about the Andes Hotel. This is how yelp works. Of course there are plenty of owner reviews, but you can always tell because the totally contradict what others have written. Secondly, this is Yelp and it's about social networking. If your establishment was great or good, I would have said so. I have no reason to slam your business, I want everyone, especially independent owners to succeed. But if you are not that good, why should others not know about it? It's a new world, and business is different. Trust me- if you see something in a review you don't like about the business, find out how to do it better. Don't come after the messenger, you will always fail. *snip* If you did not like the food you were served, you are entitled to your opinion, this is the land of the free, however, i really dont appreciate it when people make statements that are simply untrue for the sake of "artistic License". -- If I am entitled to my opinion, why are you trying to censor it? Nothing about my review was "artistic license", but my experience was what it was. Look, you can come after everyone who writes about your establishment and slam them, trying to control and contrive their statements or you can change. The world is faster, smarter and quicker than even 3 years ago. You can't keep doing business the same way and not expect the same results. Thanks. read more

Its one of two local bars in town. The drinks are a good price, and the people good. Its a real hotspot in town next to El Sarape, and is open every night, it seems. Lots of locals go there for that at home feeling. It features a pool table, keno games, and a tv for sports events. It has good bar food all night long. read more

I was here a couple of months ago-- just for lunch, we didn't stay in the hotel. I had the fish and chips and my husband had the pulled pork. Both were totally solid, especially the pulled pork.

Great place... make sure you stop there for pool and beer or a more intimate dinner. Also, check out the baseball card collection....

Just visiting for a few days and stopped by for dinner. The town is so cute! We had dinner on the deck and the service was great. Okay wine selection. Good bread. Beef tips were great!
