A wonderful, whimsical, and silly escape from NYC. Looking forward to going back!…read more They really did a great job at creating such a special vibe that was so happy and memorable. It was unlike any other hotel we have ever been to. I found all of the cabins including the ones in the motel strip to be larger in person then how they seemed on the motel's website. Each has at least a separate living room and bedroom. There is also an old fashion railroad Scenic Train within walking distance which we wanted to take but did not have time for: 5 mile round trip between Mt. Tremper and Boiceville -- a wonderful 45-minute minute railroad excursion. Looked cute! http://catskillmtrailroad.com/ My husband wished it would have had better wi-fi and cell service. But he could get service if he walked up to the road right by the parking lot.

This second floor room comes with a comfy bed, a little daybed, desk and a chair. Enough room to spread out comfortably. The bathroom is updated with a nice powerful shower. After your restful night's sleep, LeAnne (your welcoming host) will have a wonderful breakfast ready for you to start your day. We had yogurt with fruit and granola, warm blueberry muffins and a croissant. And with a communal table, you never know who you'll meet. Getting there is easy. While the entrance is right on Tinker Street, there are four parking spots on the side, or ample street parking on Neher Street (at least in November). Book early and maybe we'll see you there on our next trip.

I would advise anyone booking into this hotel to be very aware of the fact that you cannot cancel…read moreyour reservation AT ALL for any reason 14 days prior to your arrival date. They charge your card 50% of your booking price and then the remainder of the full amount 14 days prior to your arrival date and keep it even though they probably had absolutely no trouble re-booking my room because it was a major concert weekend. Not very Woodstock-y of them, I have to say! Wish the things that would cause a person to have to cancel a long-awaited trip to the town they called home for many years happened in such neat parcels of time and fell into comfortable, little insurance coverage categories all tied up in bows, but that was not the case here. They weren't even cool enough to offer me credit against a future booking! I have never encountered a cancellation policy like this anywhere in all of my travels and hotel stays, so never even thought to read the fine print way, way down at the bottom of my e-mail (yet nowhere to be found on their website!). Even having insurance doesn't necessarily cover every exigiency and I found the woman who answered the phone to be incredibly abrupt and coldly uncaring about the reason for my having to cancel 10 days before my arrival date even though the situation was completely beyond my control (and the scope of anyone's imagination... including mine!). Ditto, the insistence underwriter, so there goes about $1,300 out of my pocket for the 2-night stay that never happened in a room from which I would be able to see my old house (at least the vrbo rental I had booked for the remaining 6 days of my stay refunded me for the days they were able to rent the property plus the cleaning fee). I write this using my Woodstock pen name, but have given enough clues here for them to figure out who I am and do the right thing. I am still looking for a good caregiver to cover for me so I can take a break from looking after the elderly, wheelchair-bound person whose old one was arrested at the end of August, forcing me to cancel my trip. I lived on the same street for years as Twin Gables, but back then, it wasn't what it is today, so I usually put overflow visitors up at the Inn on The Green. I certainly would like to stay at the hotel and be left with a good impression and experience of it, but feel completely ripped off and wary at this point about ever re-booking with them.

We had a lovely suite on the second floor overlooking the main drag of town. Everything about this place was classy. The front door opens up to a big lovely common area with couches and chairs and lots of natural light flooding in. Our room had big deep windows with lots of obviously very happy plants sitting in the sills. The bathroom was beautifully tiled and had a very nice shower. The bed was very comfortable and had really comfy sheets as well. Everything is spotlessly clean, and we would highly recommend this place to anybody thinking of visiting Hudson .

The communal lodge area is especially welcoming, featuring a cozy fireplace, billiards, board games, and multiple seating options. Amenities include a sauna and a pool, both of which were not in service at the time. The ice rink was available, and we did enjoy the s'mores on the west deck in the evening. Our room was simple but very cozy, with mountain views and a balcony. However, the room did not have a fridge or microwave. I also appreciated that the hotel is dog-friendly and offers a Pupstar package. There is a restaurant and bar on site, but prices were high. Dining options in the area were limited during the off-season weekdays, which made this a bit challenging for us. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the amenities we were able to experience. Carlos at the front desk provided outstanding customer service every interaction and was extremely helpful. Even though a few things were unavailable, the property itself is lovely, and we would consider returning when all amenities are open and the local area is more lively.

We were looking for an upscale hotel where we could spend a relaxing weekend, and this Voco…read moreabsolutely exceeded our expectations. We're frequent IHG guests and have stayed at several of their brands over the years. Hotel Indigo is usually our favorite, and we'd previously stayed at a Voco in St. Augustine, so we already had high expectations. This property somehow managed to surpass them. From the moment we pulled into the parking lot, we were impressed. The landscaping is beautiful, with colorful flowers everywhere, and the hotel sits right along the river with a lovely park directly behind it. The setting immediately felt peaceful and inviting. We arrived several hours before the normal check-in time and, because of our IHG status, called to see if an early check-in might be possible. The front desk was incredibly accommodating and had a room ready for us right away, which was a wonderful start to our stay. Although we weren't able to get a river-view room, our room overlooked the trees and was still beautiful. It was spotless, exceptionally spacious, and featured high ceilings that made it feel even larger. The bathroom was equally impressive, with upscale finishes and plenty of space. It was one of those hotel rooms that actually makes you want to spend time relaxing instead of rushing out the door. The location is another huge plus. The surrounding town is small, historic, and very walkable. The riverside park behind the hotel offers kayak and canoe rentals, a fantastic playground for kids, and Adirondack chairs and fire pits that make for a perfect evening by the water. One of my favorite moments of the trip was waking up early to watch the sunrise over the river. The view was absolutely beautiful and well worth getting up for. We also had breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, and it ended up being one of the best meals we had during our visit. The coffee was excellent, and I loved sitting in the modern lobby with my morning coffee while looking out over the beautifully landscaped courtyard. It was such a relaxing way to start the day. This is the kind of hotel that makes you want to extend your stay. Between the beautiful property, comfortable rooms, excellent service, and ideal location, it's a place we'd happily return to. We highly recommend it and can't wait for our next visit.

Furniture was comfortable in public spaces, banquettes for meals in bar/restaurant area were great and the coffee in the morning was good. Breakfast was really good - not included but really nice to have. Rooms were a good size and beds were comfortable. The loft room (which I had the first night) was a little odd. Cool but not really practical at all. I switched rooms the second day and they couldn't have been more accommodating. I really liked that they texted after check in to make sure we were comfortable and responded right away. I would definitely stay here again if visiting the Hudson/Albany area. Big thank you's to Peyton and Josh at the front desk.

I came here on a self-created writer's retreat, to…read moremake some progress on a stalled book project, and it was the perfect place for me to write, free from distractions. But it would also be a superb choice for a solo or couples' vacation--I'd love to return someday with my spouse--or a corporate or extended-family retreat, if you reserved the entire property. It's important to understand what The Amelia is and isn't (in light of some of the other reviews). It isn't a full-service hotel--there isn't 24/7 staffing--and it isn't a bed and breakfast (so there's no hot breakfast, or even a restaurant). That said, if you need anything, the staff is super-responsive by text, and they do offer daily housekeeping if you want it. Instead, think of The Amelia as a private home, owned by a wealthy friend with impeccable taste, and you have the run of it. And the lack of full-time staff gives you even more privacy (aside from other guests, but when I was there, we didn't bother each other). There are multiple beautiful public rooms on the first floor--perfect for lounging with friends, reading, or working--and a gorgeous area in the back with a 35-foot-long pool, patio, and fire pit. And you get to enjoy it all. My room (#6) was fabulous. It's spacious and at the top of the house, so it feels secluded, and it has what I'm guessing is the best view in the house, overlooking the pool and backyard. The serenity is great for working, reading, or sleeping. There's a giant walk-in closet (which I didn't avail myself of, but it's there). My bed was incredibly comfortable, of what I consider ideal firmness (a pretty firm mattress). There's a desk in the corner that's excellent for working. The windowed bathroom has a huge shower with a rainfall showerhead and great water pressure (weak pressure is a pet peeve of mine). The location can't be beaten. It's on Allen Street, which is pretty and quiet (and has lots of parking--but there are also multiple spots behind the house, on the property itself, and they never got filled up during my stay). At the same time, it's a short walk to Warren Street, the main thoroughfare in Hudson, and all that it has to offer--including restaurants, cafés, galleries, and shops. (Some recommendations: Feast and Floret, for a nice meal; Isaan Thai Star, for a casual meal; Mel the Bakery, for incredible pastries; and Culture Cream, for creative flavors of scrumptious ice cream.) In short, I LOVE The Amelia. I've stayed at some great hotels and resorts over the years, but this is a personal favorite. It overflows with understated luxury, while at the same time abounding in character and charm. I can't wait to return, as either a solo traveler--maybe I'll make this "writing retreat" an annual event--or with my spouse!

This was our first B&B experience.....and it was wonderful…read more The building is quaint and clean, filled with beautiful antiques. The B&B has 5 rooms, and only the first night it was full. We stayed in the Ivy room on the second floor and only heard the smallest bits of noise from other people coming in. The room was a touch small, but we had a queen bed and a love seat along with a large closet. The bathroom was spectacular, spacious with a Jacuzzi and lots of bubble bath! Breakfast is served at 8:30 am sharp, which I enjoyed, great initiative to get an early start on the day. We shared one large table with everyone and it created a great way to meet the others occupants and learn about things to do in the area. Yvonne is a great cook and each breakfast was delicious. The building has a nice parlor off the living room with lots of books and a TV. We spent an evening in there watching GOT. There is a wonderful font porch with several chairs. And then in the back a large patio. The B&B is a couple blocks from the main intersection of Rhinebeck on the way up to Red Hook. And lastly Yvonne is very knowledgeable of the area, if your looking for what to do she is a great source of ideas. One one minor critique is I wish the room had been a touch warmer.
