My husband and I went to Monticello for one night to test my driving ability out of state. Our…read moreoriginal check in time was 9:45 am and we arrived at the hotel at 8:30 just because we had a long drive and just wanted to relax. We received a call from a gentlemen inside the hotel around 8:45 and asked if we wanted to speed up our room process for an extra 15 dollars. Of course I didn't mind, as it's not money that's important; it's the experience. We were original offered to have breakfast while we waited, but we politely declined as we had eaten an hour prior. The food however, smelled very aromatic. Our room was decent, clean and had that new hotel smell. The TV had Netflix and YouTube, so we unwinded from our trip and watched TV and went to look at the amenities. They had a small gym that was closed but the indoor pool they had was open so it was a great way to relax outside our room. Was definitely a comfortable stay, will return the next time I stay in Monticello.

Came to The DeBruce as part of my birthday weekend and stayed the night--overall, I absolutely…read moreloved it and would 100% come back. The hotel itself is cozy, full of charming little spaces, and we truly felt pampered throughout our stay. It's pet-friendly (huge plus!), and everyone was incredibly kind to my dog--he had the best time exploring the hiking trails with me. The vibe is very relaxed, peaceful, and the perfect place to disconnect from the world. Now for the real star of the show: the food. We did the tasting menu and it was so good. I loved the intention behind each dish and how they highlighted seasonal ingredients and the local farm sources. My personal favorites were the mushroom dish and the venison--both were phenomenal. The staff was warm, attentive, and did a great job walking us through each course. A few small observations: The dining room was a little too dark--I love seeing my food, especially when it's so beautifully presented. Since it was my birthday, I expected a bit more than a lone candle. No cookie, treat, or even a candle placed on top of dessert--it just didn't feel special. Dessert wasn't for me. It was somewhere between a milkshake and ice cream, but with a strange mochi-like texture and an overpowering amount of lavender. It felt like eating soap. The quail course tasted amazing, but the presentation wasn't appealing. It looked a bit messy, and leaving the head on (even though it wasn't edible) felt off. That said, everything was incredible--thoughtfully crafted, delicious, and visually stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and the whole experience. Highly recommend--can't wait to return!

My party of 4 was a little early, so we had a drink in the tavern downstairs first; bartender made a great whisky sour. For dinner, we did the a la carte menu. I tried: + Cabbage + Ricotta toast + Grilled broccoli + Mangalista pork chop + Ricotta dumpling + Cheeseburger + Spiced cake The highlights were the cabbage, pork chop and burger. Overall I thought the food was excellent, though I wished they offered sides (especially some type of a potato for the burger). Would have gladly paid for additional sides a la carte.

This is the first time we've stayed under the new ownership with Jennifer & Maureen as hosts. They've done a great job at updating the lodge while maintaining its classic vibe. Noteworthy is the efforts they've taken refreshing and coordinating the exterior paint colors and garden furniture. A discerning eye will note the efforts to maintain a thematic exterior color coordination across all the units. The grounds are well maintained with a vast array of natural plantings, specimen trees, indiginous plants, which if you are a garden buff, you'll really appreciate the variety, quality and passion that went into these wonderful presentations. The rooms are simple, clean, with a vintage vibe authentic to a Catskills cottage experience. There is a large communal yard with a fire pit, volleyball net, hammocks and seating as well as several new Weber grills and picnic tables. Easy to congregate or just hangout by your cottage or on your porch. The Esopus Creek is a short walk across the property on the other side of the street. Best is the continental breakfast!!!! Fresh baked goodies, fruits, yogurts, coffees, bagels and various snacks. Grab a morning tray and sit out back as the morning greets you, you are transported to a natural relaxing environment. This stay was a great experience, they've really upped the game here while maintaining an authentic feeling of being in your own mountain cottage. A vibe that is so often lost, when classic resorts move to a "hip" or "trendy" update. Thanks to our wonderful and welcoming hosts, our stay was really a delight and we feel we've made new friends. Thank you!

The place is pretty big and was not crowded. Check-in was easy and friendly. I reserved a nonsmoking room but got a smoking one. I didn't know hotels still had smoking rooms... I guess I could've changed rooms but after riding 300 miles on my bike I didn't care much and just wanted to go eat dinner. I almost gave 3 stars because of the breakfast. Pretty bad selection even for a continental breakfast. Not a big deal as a good diner was less than a block away. Overall the hotel was clean and very safe. I will stay here again on my next trip through.

When we arrived at 2:30, we asked if we could possibly check in early, but was told we had to wait til 4. No worries. Went to have a bite to eat at El Gatos and then walked around the casino for a bit. We came back at 3:45 to a line out of the hotel front door to check in and one employee checking in guests. We finally got to check in after 4. Went up to room which was not very clean, no laundry bag, etc but we were in a rush to shower and get to the show. When we got back, I informed the guy front desk that the bathroom was not cleaned well. He said they'd put a note in the system. Next morning at check out I spoke to the girl at the front desk of the room and the vomit on the 4th floor in the hallway and it looked like someone tried to clean it up; but it still smelled and there was still remnants of it. She apologized and said someone would call. A few days later someone left a VM on my husband's phone that they would credit us the $25 resort fee. I didn't think that was acceptable, so I called back and spoke to Libby who was very nice. She said she would have another manager call me back, but over a week later, no one has called back. Pretty disappointing experience.

I was concerned by the external appearance which is not particularly elegant, but one ought not judge anything by external appearances. I suspect that the manager may well have also been the owner, and I was greeted with a warm "we've been expecting you" welcome. My room seems to have been refurbished within the last several years, and it was quite clean and everything functioned as expected. Free wifi with a password and strong signal was provided, and they had a small refrigerator and microwave, gair dryer (never assume!)as well as TV which I don't watch. I was on ground level and admittedly didn't explore or inspect the 2nd floor. I didn't notice whether there was an ice or soda machine. I was told that housekeeping would not come daily unless I wanted them to which I did, and the room was nicely freshened every day. I found no chocolate candy on my pillow every day, but that's ok because I just wanted a clean safe place to stay for 4 nights. The walls were not made of cardboard, so there's that as well. Did I mention that it was nice and clean? I will have occasion to visit the Liberty environs again several months hence, and will definitely stay here again and never go to the Days Inn in town which was horrible in my experience. I highly recommend the Budget Inn in Liberty and suggest that you stay there too!

You are spending good money to be here and the least they can do is have the hot tubs running. It seemed like EVERYTHING was broken. The pool was freezing. All of the hot tubs were down and some of the rooms that I wanted to book services in were out of service. No one was available to give a massage. The food was also not as great as the first time. The spa water looked old and dingy. Flies were all over it. The drinks looked cheap and mediocre. Looks like they need a good renovation For now I will find another place to do yoga and retreat.
