It had been two years since my last visit to the Hudson Millener. My wife and I were pleasantly Pleased to discover the Milliner was even better than before. After a great night's sleep, I said, " Shall we sleep in late?" "Hmmm." The best. read more

ZERO STARS -- BOOKED MONTHS IN ADVANCE. CANCELLED FOUR DAYS BEFORE CHECK-IN. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I have never felt compelled to write a review like this before, but what happened with The Hudson Milliner was so incredibly disappointing that I feel obligated to warn other travelers. I booked my stay months in advance. This was not a last-minute reservation or an easily replaceable hotel stay. It was a very rare four-day weekend away with my best friend--something I had been planning and looking forward to for months. Four days before we were supposed to leave, I received an email telling me that my reservation was being cancelled because of a "technical system error" and that the dates I booked were actually unavailable. That alone was unacceptable. What made it significantly worse was what happened afterward: nothing. The hotel did not find us another room. They did not find us another property. They did not offer a meaningful alternative. They did not provide any solution whatsoever. They simply apologized, refunded the money, and left us to deal with the consequences of their mistake. And there were consequences. By the time they cancelled, there were no comparable accommodations available within approximately 20 miles. This was not a situation where I could simply open a booking app and find somewhere else. The trip we had spent months planning was effectively destroyed four days before departure. I am a stay-at-home mother. Anyone who understands the mental load of getting away for even a single night with young children knows what goes into making that happen. I had spent months coordinating childcare, my husband's schedule, the kids' needs, packing, logistics, and everything else required for me to be gone for four days. I did all of that because I had a confirmed reservation. The fact that their system accepted my booking months ago and they discovered their mistake four days before my stay is not my problem to solve. But somehow, I was the one left holding the entire consequence. And here's the part I find especially infuriating: I was told that the room was unavailable because of their system error, meaning the reservation they allowed me to make was never actually valid. Yet instead of taking ownership and doing everything possible to find a solution, they essentially said, sorry, here's your money back. A refund is not customer service. A refund is the bare minimum when a business fails to provide the service someone paid for. I would have expected them to move mountains to fix this. Call other hotels. Contact partner properties. Offer transportation. Find a comparable room. Have management personally intervene. Do something to demonstrate that they understood they had completely derailed someone's plans. They did none of that. I was simply left with a cancelled trip four days before departure and nowhere to go. So if you are considering booking this property, please understand what happens when their system fails: apparently, you are the one who pays the price. I am not angry because technology occasionally makes mistakes. I am angry because they made the mistake, discovered it months too late, and then made absolutely no meaningful effort to fix the consequences for the customer who trusted them. I planned my life around a reservation they confirmed. They cancelled it. And then they walked away. That is not the level of care or accountability I expect from a hospitality business, and it is certainly not an experience I would ever knowingly pay to repeat. Book somewhere that will actually stand behind your reservation. read more

Had another wonderful weekend at the Hudson Milliner recently and wanted to provide a review of another beautiful apartment - the Fedora. It was a great apartment in the rear of the building - with lovely sunny view of the alley. The kitchen was great to convene for a quick dinner and the bathroom is lovely with its clawfoot bathtub. Apart with some minor noise from mail trucks at the local post office the apartment was quiet and cozy. Hudson Milliner is centrally located to most of the shops and restaurants and was walking distance to the train. We had a great time and had the pleasure to meet the hosts. read more

This is a wonderful, special place that has tons of character and charm (the photos do not do the spaces justice!). I have stayed in the 2-bedroom suite Top Hat multiple times (last time in February 2024) and have loved every visit. The place has been impeccably and lovingly renovated with special touches like custom shelving made from reclaimed vintage pieces and adorable mid-century (but working!) kitchen appliances. In the last year or so, they built a gorgeous enclosed garden for everyone to enjoy. The owners are super sweet and friendly and you can tell that they really care about their inn and their guests. read more

The Hudson Milliner is really a hidden gem on the Main Street of Hudson, NY. I stayed in the Top Hat room during my visit which is incredibly spacious! I didn't expect to have so much open room. The space is well designed and has a rustic charm. I deeply appreciate when locations keep old detailing instead of replacing it with tacky panels, so that was a major plus for me! I'm a big fan of art and the walls are covered with incredible painting and photography. The room really felt like my own apartment. This space is amazing for longer stays or a weekend getaway! read more

I have had the pleasure of staying at The Hudson Milliner multiple times. All of the rooms are impeccably designed and unique in there own right. Coming from the city, it's wonderful to have such a spacious apartment! Each space has a full size kitchen, antique appliances and a dining area. The bathrooms have wonderful tile-work and clawfoot tubs. I loved that there are modern comforts as well. (tempur-pedic mattress, nest, fast wifi, dishwasher) The Milliner sits on Warren street right in the middle of downtown amtrak/bars/restaurants/boutiques are all within walking distance. The owners are an adorable couple who are very knowledgeable about the area and gave me tons of great suggestions for food and shopping. Oh yes, and the walls are adorned with their incredible artwork! read more

Was looking for a weekend getaway from the city and am happy I found the Hudson Milliner. The owners were very accommodating and gave great recommendations for local spots to check out. The Hudson Milliner is in close walking distance to all the restaurants and local entertainment. I would recommend the cascades for breakfast, the spotty dog or the maker lounge for drinks, time & space for an indie flick and the antique market for odds and ends. We stayed in the Bowler which was spacious, mixing modern and classical design. Hudson can get pricy quick so I was happy to have an option to cook on my own and the kitchen was well equipped. Whenever I had a question the owners were quick to communicate and run a lovely art salon next door. I will definitely stay here again!! read more

See all

I returned from Africa in March. I had no reason to be in NYC and remembered a pleasant stay at the Hudson Milliner the previous year. I called for a room and was told by Charlotta that the Top Hat Suite was available. I took the train up the Hudson and two hours later I was sitting in my suite, happy to be someplace so clean, comfortable, and quiet. Both owners were very helpful and I was lucky enough to extend my R&R another week and I look forward to another visit this summer. read more

Huson Milliner has been one of my favorite places to stay while visiting Hudson. The Cloche is a lovely unique suite it is always cozy, warm and spacious. Shannon and Charlotta provided a lovely welcome letter, which gave great suggestions of what to do around town. I always feel welcome. Thank you! read more

I will admit I was a bit apprehensive about staying here having never been north of the city and the area looked a bit dated on google street view but I was completely blow away when I arrived. A friend invited me up for the weekend and after my first Amtrak trip ever which was much better than I expected I arrived in a cute quiet little down. The apartment was about 10 minutes from the train stop and absolutely gorgeous. We stayed in the Fedora I believe. The place was spotless and very cool. I loved the classic range and refrigerator but also appreciated the new dishwasher and Tempur-Pedic beds. The heat worked great and I was very comfortable the whole night. There's plenty of dishes and silverware if you want to have some people over and cook dinner. My only gripe was that there wasn't a lock on the bathroom, I'm super paranoid about stuff like that but I'm guessing most people wouldn't have an issue. Cell signal at least for T-mobile was terrible in Hudson but the Milliner has decent wifi so I was able to cope. I only stayed for one night but it was lovely and I'd like to try to come back. I can't think of too many places I've stayed where I enjoyed the room this much. There's a bar called the Red Dot which is quite close and while I didn't go my friends raved about it so it's probably worth checking out. read more

Huge room with everything I needed. Unique, beautiful and comfy. I arrived at night. They we're accommodating. Nothing like the warm personal touch after a long day. read more

We stayed at the Hudson Milliner for three nights while getting married in Hudson. We were in the Bowler and some of our friends in the Top Hat. The rooms were spectacular, spacious, and beautifully decorated with vintage furniture as well as modern amenities (like nest climate control). We did a few hours of photos in the upstairs rooms with our photographer, and it was a great place to hang out while getting ready. We particularly loved having a fully stocked kitchen... plates, wine glasses, etc. The rooms were very clean and the shower worked perfectly. Communicating with the owners was not always easy, but in the end they were very welcoming and sent an e-mail with a great overview of things to do in Hudson. read more

We had a very bad experience at this hotel over a year ago. The only point that I feel is worth making for other guests is that they seemed inexperienced in their communication with guests and that it is in fact not family friendly. read more

I'm so offended by your comment. You asked if I would post regardless, I said yes. A shakedown would involve me saying I wouldn't post if you gave us money. That's not what happened. I travel constantly for work and pleasure, I've never asked for a refund before. I gave you a chance to make amends, instead you choose to not take responsibility. Just like you do in this response post in which you don't address the substance of my concern. I was raised by a small businesswoman. I would never post a negative review without a heads up. Please see the rest of my reviews for glowing comments about other small businesses. read more

For my wedding anniversary, my husband and I were planning a quick trip to Hudson. The owner of this place said she had plenty of room and it would likely be fine for us to stay one night, and just to email her the Thursday before the weekend. I was concerned that we might be stuck without a place to stay last minute, but she told me she'd call right away if she booked up. A week before the planned trip, I emailed her again to check on availability, and she wrote back "we'll nail it down" on Thursday. Thursday came, and wow all of a sudden there were no rooms available. And no option for us to stay anywhere else in Hudson. Bad customer service, bad reservation policy, and no consideration for a couple wanting to celebrate their anniversary. This really sucked. read more

PERFECT. I recently spent my 44th birthday at the Hudson Milliner and could not have been happier. The Inn is a gorgeous old building that has been restored and renovated into several apartment-like suites in the heart of Hudson, NY. The room: We stayed in the Bowler Suite, which is so beautifully styled with high ceilings and exposed brick and great furnishings. Big comfy sleigh bed, great linens, totally functional and charming kitchen and a claw foot tub in the bathroom! We wanted a quiet room and The Bowler is in the back of the building, so was very peaceful, had a gorgeous view of the sunset and we enjoyed the most lovely spring breeze all night. SO RELAXING - it was hard to leave! The town: The Hudson Milliner is on Warren Street (also walking distance from the train) which appears to be the center of town. The street is lined with gorgeous historic buildings (the Milliner being one) and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. The town is "Charming" for sure, but also very hip and full of a variety of great restaurants, shops, live music, theater and a particularly friendly bar/bookstore as well. Case in point, Retrospective Gallery, an off-shoot of Zach Feuer's well-known Chelsea NYC gallery opened on Warren Street last year and features great exhibitions by young but well-known contemporary artists. A friend recently told me that this town has always been full of great furniture and antique shops, which proved true, but not your standard dusty shops. Just window shopping we saw some great mid-century pieces and lots of curious and lust-worthy objects. Needless to say, one could spend days wandering around Warren Street alone and not get bored. If you have a car, Bash Bish Falls is a great hike with a beautiful waterfall, and the Milliner lists a number of other places to explore outside of town. When I travel I don't like feeling trapped in an airless corporate hotel room, or feeling like a houseguest at a B&B. The innkeepers were the perfect combination of friendly and discreet. Check in and out was super easy and convenient. Staying at the Milliner was like having your favorite friends toss you the keys to their super cool summer house.A few more important points... The temperature in Hudson can be close to 10 DEGREES WARMER than NYC in Spring. Look it up! We had a gorgeous summer weekend in April! I live in East Hampton and I wish the Hamptons were as remote and charming as Hudson. So happy I've found a place to escape to!!! read more

I was in the hudson milliner the first week of January and I've loved it ! The house, the design and the furnitures are just exquisite. Bravo for the taste. So charming. Every apartment there has it's own cosi atmosphere. It feels like Ernest Hemingway could have lived there. The owners Charlotte & Shannon are adorable and gave me a lot of great advices about what to do and where to eat in Hudson. There's a lot of facilities nearby such as yoga place, juice bar, pub-library, disc shop, coffee shops and the train station that brings you to or from NYC is less than 10 min walk. I will definitely come back for a romantic weekend or rent the whole place with friends to come skiing. Charlotte & Shannon have sent me to Rivertown, an amazing restaurant where the chef is absolutely brilliant and their fish is one the best I've ever had in my life. Thank you for this wonderful stay in Hudson. read more

My brother and I stayed in the Fedora room of the Hudson Milliner and had an absolutely perfect time. Each and every detail of the room was tasteful to perfection and it was so spacious and comfortable. We also had the chance to meet Charlotta and Shannon who were such kind, helpful and lovely hosts. I forgot to mention the location within Hudson could not be better. read more

I'm normally not a yelper but this place is amazing so I had to do this! I was just as happy staying in the massive, gorgeous rooms as I was walking around this amazing town. the owners are artists so you will find their beautiful art work in the rooms. it's in the middle of everything you possibly need and want. restaurants, cafes, shopping, etc. The vintage appliances in each kitchen make cooking a fun experience and they are equipped with every thing you didn't think of. Im super picky and when I tell you this is good, I mean it!!! gorgeous. read more

Weekend getaway. Perfect location close to all restaurants and shops. The room was amazing and cozy. The decor really set the tone and this mini vacation couldn't have been anymore perfect. Loved it. Will definitely come again. read more

We've stayed at The Hudson Milliner a couple of times this year and can't wait to get back! We always end up extending our trip because the rooms there really feel cozy and comfortable. They have an antique charm and design while having the modern conveniences you want. It's such a great location in the middle of town, totally walkable from the train and to all of the restaurants and shops. A great getaway! read more

I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with a great place to stay while we were in Hudson for our anniversary, and the Hudson Milliner fulfilled every expectation. When I saw the photos of these rooms a few weeks ago, I knew I had to get something booked ASAP. Charlotta was a massive help in getting my reservation confirmed, and the welcome letter she and Shannon provided with tips for things to do in town was so great to have. This is easily the most attractive place to stay in Hudson. The interior design is gorgeous -- there's so many little touches that we noticed during our three days in the Cloche room. It's centrally located on Warren St. and it was wonderful to get up and walk just a minute to Moto for iced coffee in the morning. I can't recommend this place enough. Looking forward to getting back and staying at the Bowler room next! read more

Awfull!! We stayed here for a weekend and had the worst experience. The owner was rude, and the apartment was dirty. We would never go back.

This is one of the most well sorted and beautiful properties in the area! You feel like you've stepped into a different time with the comforts of the modern world. The style of the entire place pays homage to historic Hudson. The vintage stoves work as fast - if not faster than modern ones!!! Unreal decor!!! The entire place is like a gallery with paintings by Charlotta the owner and photos taken by Shannon. I mean we just could not love it anymore!!! The rooms are really apartments and the beds are DIVINE. It was like waking up in a interior design dream!! We stayed in the Top Hat and it made coming home and sleeping in our own bed rough!! We did NOT want to LEAVE!!! My Fiance and I kept saying "we live here!" Seriously this place is a major gem and Charlotta and Shannon could not possibly be any more accommodating! If you want a bit of romance and a real step away from the city do yourself a favor and stay at the Hudson Milliner. I viewed all the rooms as we had friends staying as well. Trust me you cannot go wrong. We have already reserved another vacation there. read more
