    Mamosa?
    Ross P.

    We love this low key little hotel. We are here for a wedding and our room is so nice. The lobby and patio are great. Breakfast and tasty treats! Super fun walking into town for shopping and fun bars. Make sure to go to Mel's for a bagel or sandwich and Back Bar for evening cocktails.

    Wow! I'm definitely staying here again. Vibe: Um, these folks thought of it all. The design of the entire space was excellent. It was simple and almost felt like a cozy Scandinavian cottage. Down to the ceramic toilet paper holder and fancy light switches, everything was beautiful. Oh, and definitely have a drink in the lobby and enjoy the two fireplaces. Staff: All very nice! And on it. There was always hot coffee in the morning and all the milks one might need. Cleanliness: Super clean! Other notes: - There's a nice restaurant in the hotel - Coffee is in the lobby, not in your room (which was totally fine for me) - You can order drinks and have them in the lobby

    Such a pleasant experience! The lodge was very clean and modern. The staff was very welcoming. The bedsheets were super soft (the bed does make noise when moved. I'll let you do what you want with that information) hehe. There was an error made with our dinner reservation and they were beyond accommodating. We were still able to be seated and the food was great! We really enjoyed the crudo, ribs, steak, and dessert. I'd like to say thank you to Valerie for being extremely patient with us. My boyfriend and I didn't set an alarm and ended up sleeping past checkout. I have a small case of PTSD with late checkout issues and she definitely made up for past experiences. On top of that, she helped me with some printing I had to while I was checking out which was very helpful considering I slept in and was on a time crunch. In a world where everyone is short staffed and customer service seems to be a dying art form, Valerie definitely gave me hope and put my day off to a great start. It was our first time in Hudson and if we return (probably for some furniture shopping) we'll definitely look forward to staying here again.

    Food was amazing, nice cute ambience, feels like Europe. Service was a little lacking.

    Review is for the restaurant only. A delightfully cozy spot, tucked behind the main lobby of Rivertown Lodge. Though technically called the Tavern (and it does feel more like a bar than a restaurant), the food here is anything but typical pub fare. Easily one of the best meals I've had in Hudson. A great venue for a jolly friends dinner or for date night. A rather small space (especially compared to most other establishments on Warren St.) so you'll want to email for a reservation to be safe. And if you're just going for drinks, the cocktails are creative and the wine pours are generous. A wonderful addition to the Hudson scene, far more than just your average hotel restaurant. The bf and I were in Hudson for our three-year anniversary so we needed a spot that fit the occasion. It was our second time visiting, so I wanted to make sure we found something new. Though Fish and Game might be more suitable to some, I wanted to make sure we were getting our money's worth, so I opted for the new guy in town. The Tavern only takes reservations via email, so I reached out a few weeks prior. It's a deceptively small space, so I highly recommend calling or emailing if you want to secure a table. We came in at around 8:30pm on Sunday night and the place was pretty full. Mostly couples with one large birthday table in back. Much celebration to be had! Our hostess/server offered us a choice between two tables and we opted for one in the center of the space, with a nice view of the bar and the other parties inside. The service overall was great (elaboration to come)--our server was as accommodating and friendly as they come. Sad to say I can't remember her name but she had great energy and helped to make our night special. I'll start with drinks first. The drink menu isn't online, so I'll do my best to recount what we tried. The list of cocktails is short but formidable, a couple of very original drinks on there. Between the two of us, I think we tried all but one of them. I tried an apple brandy/campari/black pepper shrub drink first, which was funky/different but still delicious. Never seen anything like it. I also tried a rye/turmeric drink which wasn't quite as noteworthy but still solid. As for the wine, the options are all of the organic/biodynamic/skin contact varieties--very on-brand for Hudson. Though all pretty unusual, the wines manage to pair very well with the food. I tried a skin contact wine for the first time here, and it was delicious. And as I mentioned, they give you a good pour here. So be careful! Food-wise, it's hard to go wrong. I'd say virtually everything is local, seasonal, organic, all of that good stuff. As fresh as it gets, particularly the veggies. When things are farmed correctly and with care, even simple preparations can be outstanding. Such was the case at the Tavern. We tried a variety of dishes, all excellent. Our eats, below: Spring Veg, Wood Sorrel Aioli: A So simple yet so magical. Veggies served raw, seems like they came straight from the farm and were plopped on our plate. As fresh as they come. The aioli was light but still flavorful, a fantastic accompaniment. Some of the best endive I've ever had. Duck Confit, Preserved Citrus, Chile Honey: A+ A total 180 from the previous dish but just as amazing, if not more so. Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, the skin a thing of the deities. Served piping hot, juicy and rich, all you'd hope for with a dish like this. Scallop Crudo, Kumquat: A- For whatever reason scallops don't agree with me but I took one for the team because the bf loves them. I enjoy the taste, I just know I'll pay for it later. Light and fresh, the scallop paired beautifully with the kumquat, a new pairing for me and one I appreciated mucho. Blackened Carrot, Turnips, Cultured Cream: A Rich and earthy, topped/doused with fresh herbs. Typically I think that's a bit extra, but in this case I quite literally ate up the opportunity to revel in the freshly-picked, local verdure. The turnips were yummy too, and the cream balanced out the flavor/texture profile nicely. Striped Bass, White Asparagus, Spring Onions: A Well-cooked, solid piece of fish, crispy skin and all. And oh how I love when white asparagus is in season! A beautiful entree, sophisticated and tasty. The night was already a resounding success, but it ended on an even better note. Free stuff! The bartender offered us drinks on the house, either because it was our anniversary or that we were one of the last parties standing. I went with the Bees Knees and I ordered my bf a rum-based bartender's choice. Both were fantastic, as expected. I ended up chatting with the bartender for a while and she was quite familiar with the NYC bar scene. Just as lovely as our server and abundantly knowledgable. An excellent experience, all-around.

    We had the pleasure of both staying here and dining here. Our incoming trip was greeted with a snow storm and the front staff was so helpful booking our room a day early and offering us a discount for the last minute hassle. The grounds and rooms are immaculate and look straight out of crate and barrel or west elm!! Very basic rooms (I would've loved a box of tissues and some lotion in the rooms) but there were little luxuries as well i.e. plush brook linen towels! The food was outstanding for both brunch and dinner- so happy we tried both. The staff was all very welcoming and friendly. Walking distance to almost everything in town. We loved our stay!

    Wonderful boutique hotel in Hudson with Instagram worthy Scandinavian influenced decor. They recently also opened a restaurant that serves small bites new American fare. My main complaint is about their snack pantry. There's no room service or 24/hr food availability so they have the pantry for anyone craving a late night bite. Issue here is that the options aren't great - cookies, pita chips and granola mostly and the prices of the items were quite exorbitant. I did really appreciate the in-room access to not only cable channels but also Netflix, Amazon and Hulu for maximum vegging out.

    Really loved this place, simply for the ambiance, but food was very well done. Portions are not too big, full of fresh greens, light and delicious. They do an amazing brunch, and are very vegetarian friendly. It was packed on a Sunday morning, and many people brought kids. Many dishes came with toast and creme fresh which they do well. Smoked Trout - beautifully cooked/smoked, with some nice contrast of acid with the beets and pickled onions. Needed some freshly cracked pepper though. Farro dish - was cooked perfectly, with a bit of crunch for a texture difference. Freshly squeezed orange juice was fantastic, but not worth $6 Also cool - they've got chargers on the foor, fireplaces, and beautiful flowers. Value was excellent

    Nice sun light exposure

    Spent a night in one of the standard rooms in this adorable boutique hotel. The room was nice and clean with a crisp and inviting interior. The 2note shampoo/cond are awesome. Only cons was a bit of noise from other guests at night and the heater wan't working properly. Had dinner at the restaurant and it was so good: lamb gnochi and the bread and butter were to die for, much better than other options I tasted in town.

    We came here this morning and did find the quality of our food to be quite good. The breakfast portions were fair for the prices. The outdoor space had heaters which luckily allowed us to sit comfortably in 32' weather. The host appeared some what stressed but she held it together. I could see myself feeling stressed in Covid times having to service people in the frigid cold and indoors. The reason this place gets 4 stars and not 5 is because of the insane 20% operational fee. It's a bit much to then ask for a tip on top of this and since the man I asked about it wasn't sure, I didn't leave additional money. We weren't aware of this before hand and hopefully this actually included a tip. They should probably give you the heads up before you sit down and order.

    Hands down: best place we ate at while visiting Hudson. We left a diner (a block away), due to their poor menu, but are thankful to them for mentioning Rivertown - that's where we went. What a gorgeous place! A 50s theater, now converted to be a little hotel with an accompanying restaurant. The 'theater' looks fresh from the outside, and just wait until you enter; thoughtful, minimal design with purpose, earthy tones, perfect music choice, and our server was probably hand-picked - I don't think this place would function without her. She should be the face and voice of this place. Forever. It's a small menu, but packed with fresh goodness. The food we ordered was delicious. Everything was perfectly explained, seasoned, portioned, served. Take note: their bread is freshly baked at the owner's local bakery. The dining room is small, quaint and inviting. Clean. Four for brunch = $80ish Without hesitation: we all want to go back!

Joe and Courtney are top notch…read morehosts serving delicious breakfasts, morning coffee, and an unlimited array of snacks and drinks. We enjoyed the old movie and music theme in this updated prior rectory. After spending the last several years of travel in hotels and Airbnb's, we have come to remember how personal and inviting B&Bs are. This particular one, however, is one of the best. The BB is two blocks from Warren Street for quick access to restaurants and shops. There is also a retail shop on Warren Street where you can spot many of the unique items from the house. The shop is very well curated. We stayed in Room 5 which has a private deck off the room that my husband used every morning and evening. It's the room with the beautifully updated blue bathroom. The only thing missing from the room and the bathroom was brighter light - our eyes no longer perform as well in dim lighting! We spent most of the mornings and afternoons on several hikes throughout the area - all of them peaceful and beautiful. The waterfalls at the end were stunning.

    Cozy, inviting and relaxing. Joe and Courtney were wonderful hosts. Great location about a block…read morefrom Warren Street and all the restaurants and shops. The breakfasts in the morning were banging yummy. The rooms were quiet, quaint and well appointed. Great bathroom products and the bedding was super. Decor is very music and movie oriented which was also fun. Here's a pic if breakfast bacon grilled cheese topped with eggs Benedict and local tomato salad.

    I chose to stay at the Nautical Nest for my second trip to Hudson, NY. I liked that it was closer…read moreto shops, galleries, and restaurants on the west side of Warren St that I had missed during a previous visit. The Nautical Nest is the second property of the owners of Nest Hudson. Of the four units, I booked a second floor room with a balcony after researching details on several third party websites. As the name suggests, the room had a nautical theme with a well-chosen decor and nice finishes. It included a king-sized bed (very comfortable mattress), chest of drawers topped with a beverage station, and a desk. The bathroom was bright, with great quality towels and strong shower pressure. Nest Hudson shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner were provided. My favorite feature, however, was the Nespresso coffeemaker in the room! This was very convenient, and I was happy to have a high quality coffee everyday. I also enjoyed the balcony for morning coffee and to relax later in the day. An outdoor patio is next to the building. There is also a communal kitchen with a small fridge, microwave, and tea kettle that some guests seemed to use quite often. Individually wrapped snacks and tea are located there, and replenished every few days. A few tips: 1. The Nautical Nest listings on multiple third party websites state that there is "free parking." In reality, it is free STREET parking. Fortunately, I visited during a less busy week, so I was able to secure parking on the same street as the hotel, City Hall Pl, most days. However, parking is not allowed there from 9pm Wednesday to 8am Thursday, so I moved my car to the nearby Union St. Unfortunately, Union St is subject to alternate street parking rules. There is no signage to indicate which is an "even" vs "odd" side of the street, so a ticket will be issued if you park on the wrong side of the street. I was unaware of this parking issue prior to booking my reservation. I notified the owners to update their third party website listings. They may also want to arrange parking for guests in a nearby municipal lot as some other hotels on Warren St have done. 2. The Nautical Nest is an older building, so floors and stairs are creaky. You will hear anyone who is up and about early, including housekeeping. If your room has a window A/C unit, street noise will be quite audible (road construction, back up truck alarms, etc). I purchased ear plugs after waking up to the sound of a jack hammer the first morning of my stay. Prior to my arrival, I also received two requests to "keep noise at a minimum" and "be mindful of other guests" in informational emails from management. I also received an additional reminder when notified that my room was ready for check in. Although I understand the intent, I thought this was a bit much. Overall, the Nautical Nest is a quality boutique hotel. I enjoyed my room as it was quite spacious and comfortable. Although I was stressed about the parking situation, other guests may be less concerned. If you are a "morning person," the sounds inside and outside of the building may not be bothersome.

    We decamped at the Nautical Nest for a quick Covid getaway…read more The Good: --Excellent communication with the owner; He even graciously allowed us an hour early check-in as we were trying to beat a snow storm --Delicious bed - it was hard to get out of! The bedding was so voluptuous that I had to email to find out the brand of sheets/duvet! --Location - right off the center of Warren Street, plenty of parking on the street --Luxurious shower, and I hate showers The Not as Good: --It's a renovated old house and it creaks. Everyone sounded like an elephant stampeding past the door. I was glad we were on the second floor and hope we didn't disturb those below us too much --No coffee! Please add coffee service. A Keurig machine, some milk in the fridge, some little sugar packets go a long hospitable way! They did have an espresso machine, but we are not in Italy. I need my good old American coffee to start the day - please don't send me out into the cold to get it!

There is absolutely no other place with better value. As seen in all other reviews, Barry could not be a better host. He gave us detailed recommendations on everything we asked for, and even called a bar, Helsinki, to check if there were any tables left as this place has minimal standing room (only he knew this as he is the expert on everything in town). Then, again we booked last-minute train tickets back home and gave him just 20 minutes notice. Barry insisted on making us breakfast-to-go and driving us to the train station there even though we had time to walk. In just 5 minutes, Barry made us the most savory yet simple sandwich (which was the topic of conversation for part of the train ride back.) His breakfast was the best meal we had during our entire weekend in Hudson - 100% fact. Eating breakfast outside on the porch was one of my favorite parts of the entire trip. Location is walking distance from the best shopping and food in Hudson, as well as Amtrak. If anyone else is looking, this is the only place I'd recommend.
