So lucky to have found this cozy B&B. My boyfriend and I stayed here while traveling upstate for a…read morefriend's wedding. Immediately upon our arrival, we were welcomed to find such warm and hospitable owners, who showed us around a beautifully restored Inn. Our quarters were comfortable, quiet and just the right vibe for a lazy weekend near the Adirondacks. This is also the perfect place to not only relax, but indulge in a nice meal. When you book a room, you might be asked if/when you would be interested in breakfast or dinner (depending on your itinerary). The owner, whose name is Rob was more than happy to customize our breakfast, while taking into account dietary restrictions/allergies. I definitely recommend the Golden Maple Tree Inn if you're en route/traveling, as Utica isn't too far and also has great restaurants, or even if you're a local and just need to get away & disconnect.

When I first opened the door I was impressed by the size of the room, huge is all I can say. The bed was warm and cozy, buy was I tired after a long day. The suite consisted of a living room, bed room and bathroom. Even the bathroom was huge. In the morning I was greeted by a beautiful picturesque view of the falls. The Inn also provided a Continental Breakfast, and the best thing ever for a morning, a Kureg coffee maker with a selection of various coffees. The host was amazing, showing us the rooms and describing anything we might need to know. The place is Amazing and I suggest a stay when ever you're in the area. Sorry, some of the photos are blurry because I had a screen on the window. I forgot to mention that the bathroom had a Jacuzzi.

Utica Hampton Inn has lost that loving feeling…read more The Good: There was plenty of parking. There were enough towels in the room for a family of four. The Bad: We checked in on a Friday between 5-6 and the staff was not welcoming. They were just "going through the motions" and there was no joy in their work. When we made our way to the room, it was obviously well used and not as clean as we are used to when staying at a Hampton Inn. The carpet was "tired" and looked like it could use a good cleaning. There were smudges on the mirrors, paint peeling from the ceiling in the shower, and a giant cobweb hanging down over the sink in the bathroom. The ugly: Two of the bed pillows (out of 8) where very well loved and did not have any life/support left in them so we called the front desk to get them replaced. The agent we spoke with stated that they do not deliver to the room so we needed to come to the front desk to get replacement pillows. So when I took the pillows to the front desk, I genuinely felt that I was inconveniencing the staff. When I described why I was turning the pillows in, I watched as the staff member that I handed the pillows to openly mocked me as she described my concerns to a fellow staff member. When in Utica, I would avoid this location.

I just spend a long weekend at the wonderful Portobello Inn. My bedroom, the Small room, was…read moreextremely comfortable with a comfortable Queen size bed, very efficient air conditioning, and a bathroom/shower with plentiful warm water. Each morning's amazing breakfast was exceptional and my hosts Roland/Steve were very accommodating, If I was ever hungry, it would have been my own fault, but each morning's breakfast got me started in fine fashion! One morning my hosts allowed my sister to enjoy the breakfast with me, even though she was not a guest. The Inn is an oasis from the busy world and while I was staying there it allowed me to finish one book, and take in all the ambiance of a richly appointed Inn. The Portobello is ideally situated so that I could easily get to Utica, Herkimer, and the wonderful Little Falls Canal Days celebration during my stay, Driving a car is a delight in the Mohawk Valley! Just an ideal place to stay full of peace, quiet, and friendly conversation. Thanks Roland and Steve!
