If you stay here you get to use the amenities at the Waterside Spa for free during your stay. It's a 14 minute walk or a 3 minute drive. You can order room service from the restaurant if you're into that but I recommend walking up Partition Street for food and shopping. I liked waking up early, getting a quick bite from their continental breakfast in the lobby, and then heading down to their wooden walkway to get closer to the waterfall under the bridge. The walls are kinda thin and the restaurant is very meh but overall a great relaxing experience. You can even leave your car in the parking lot after you checkout if you still want to do things locally.

Ok...Going to try and do three reviews in one; Hotel, Spa, Restaurant…read more -Diamond Mills Hotel- Never even thought there would be something like this in little ol' Saugerties. Actually, it's been there for 11 years. Perfect location. Just off the main area, but within walking distance to town. If you do stay here, try to get a room that faces the waterfall. Also, take the wooden walkway down to the base of the falls. We started out our morning doing so, and it was quite scenic. The rooms are big, but the walls are paper thin. Expect to hear chatter, like we experienced at 6am. Continental Breakfast was abundant with muffins, cereal, coffee and juice. -The Waterside Spa- My wife signed us up for a Couples Massage, in the middle of the afternoon. But we headed over early. Great place to lie out on the deck to catch some rays and relax. Take a soak in one of their small pools or try the sauna if you dare (at one point it was 190 degrees) The massages were nice, however the "Hot Stone" one was a little too gentle for me. You can actually spend all day here. They have a lot of places to nest, as well as a cafe. Just a 3 minute car ride. -Blackbarn Restaurant- Connected to the hotel, with the same stunning views and a great interior is "Blackbarn" After reading about the amazing and award winning chefs, I was excited to eat here. But disappointment quickly took over. My chicken tasted like it was marinated in vinegar, and the Vegetable Lasagna was made in a microwave. We ordered 2 desserts that we sent back. The pastry chef needs to be fired. This restaurant sucks.

This was my 2nd stay here... the first time I came, I was mainly visiting Woodstock. It was exactly…read more1 year ago, still basically in the thick of this COVID thingy. I remember finding this place online and being happy that I could save a few bucks, and still be close to Woodstock, and yet... they had this giganto-enormous bath tub that my wife and kid would love. The owners are nice, and I feel this is sort of a side gig for them. It feels kind of like a VRBO in that you don't need to see people at a reception desk every time you return to the Inn... you just park in the quiet parking lot out back, and do your thing. We had room # 3 on both visits, so that's really all I can speak to. The owners are responsive to emails, and kindly stock the mini-refrigerator with Poland Spring water. It has a kitchenette along with a little living area (including a sleeper sofa), and then a private bedroom along with the massive bathroom. I think my favorite part is the bathroom. Too bad you can't sleep in there. At least, that wouldn't be safe! We share the King bed, me, my wife, and daughter. It's not very comfortable, so I didn't sleep well. I requested a strong a/c, and I think we got that, though it's cold outside still, and the place isn't very energy efficient. There's actually a little balcony door along the side wall, and you can see the wind outside blowing the curtains sometimes. I don't think the place is thoroughly cleaned, but the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom are definitely clean enough. We didn't feel uncomfortable. What's nice about this place though is the location. You're right in the heart of the village of Saugerties with the coolest shops and best restaurants around right here.

You can also pay to upgrade to say an Intercontinental but I digress. My voucher was expiring and I've been wanting to go to a nearby adult/child tennis camp. So I booked one night using my voucher and upgraded to a King using my platinum status, another IHG credit card perk. The hotel lobby is clean and the entire hotel was recently renovated. The room was clean, uncluttered and renovated. The pool, (4) on the small side, is open from 9 am to 9 pm max depth is 4'1" with a machine for individuals using a wheelchair. I swam a few laps and would try again in the morning after it has been cleaned. They offer free parking, free breakfast and coin operated guest laundry. They had egg omelettes, pork sausage, home fried potatoes, breads, yogurt, cereal and hot coffee/tea. The food was a 3.5 and the coffee, a medium blend (extra points for oat milk!) was very good, a 4. I opted for IHG points as my Platinum member amenity, the other choice being bottled water. All in all, a good stay. I'll stay on site at the tennis camp next time but would also consider staying here and driving over for my tennis lessons especially in Winter when hotel prices drop. Added bonus: the Trailways bus to Port Authority is less than a ten minute walk to/from the hotel.

Out of 8 Parking spots right in front, 2 are handicapped and 2 are for club members, so 4 spots for 90% of its customers! Our room was 218 and was actually pretty large with 2 queens and a pull out sofa and coffee table. It had a noisy refrigerator and microwave which is cool and the only reason it got a 3 star instead of 2. I'd stay here again if the holiday inn express wasn't much more.

Hotel Tivoli is owned and operated by artists Helen and Brice Marden ( Brice passed a year ago)…read more Both artists, I believe, belong to the minimalist and conceptual era of the 1970s, 1980s... etc. I imagine both Helen and Brice spent a great deal of their time drinking and talking at Max's Kansas City or perhaps the Cedar Tavern, eventually Area, the Canal Bar, and The Bowery Bar in New York City. The design is a tribute to the mid 20th century. Art objects usually found and bought at vintage flea markets such as Brimfield can be found throughout the hotel. I like mid 20th century design very much but I do not find in very comforting. The hotel is a bit like a museum. Look but perhaps do not touch. For sure do not sit! Either way it is a very enjoyable place to spend some time. It is an old building but it is well maintained. The staff is extremely helpful and kind. The restaurant which sweeps thru the entire ground floor and outside porch is very good. The food and wine is excellent. The coffee hut towards the back of the property is a great idea. The town of Tivoli is on the outskirts of Bard college so there are a lot of student types walking around town. Not the frat boy type of kids... but more like the counter culture hippie kind of kids I was a part of in the 1960s.

I kicked and scream...(well no...not really) because as much as I enjoy walking in the woods, I…read moredon't like sleeping in it. My time came to rough it in the woods because I don't do camping. Dominicans don't do camping. Period! But hubby's a Nuyorican and he loves all this stuff. In a Yurt? Well...That's the question I got when I told folks where I was staying for the weekend. But...it's a give and take and all in the name of love. Right? Caryn & Mark own Awakening Garden grounds. There's a Yurt, 2 Cabins, a Tepee and a Buddha Hut to choose from. (Call or check website for prices). Pitching a tent was definitely out of the question. Now you're asking......what the heck is a Yurt? Well Google says its a, "circular tent"- and that's precisely what it is- but bigger. Our Yurt, has no bathroom- but the 'Bathhouse' is literally 5 steps away (and no...it's not a latrine- by the way). It doubles (or triples) as a small kitchenette with a small fridge, sink and 2-burner hot plate, a full bathroom with a shower, 'Dining Area' and a gorgeous carpeted nook if you want to do Yoga (perfect). Yurt rental for us (at this time of year was $370 ($135 for each of the first two nights and $100 for the third night) plus $30 cleaning fee. It's super comfortable with a Queen-size bed, but there's extra room within the Yurt that could easily sleep at least 2 more people (please double check with the owners first for a payment scale and/or if more people are allowed before you bring your posse). Coming at this time in the Fall was perfect and we didn't need to worry about freezing up here. The Yurt has 2 portable heaters and kept us super toasty for this time of the year. Plus there's a potbelly stove as an added measure. Additionally, there's a baseboard heater in the "Bathhouse". Don't want to pitch a tent? Or do the Hut or cabin stay? But you still want to get that outdoorsy, woodsy feel? Then staying in a Yurt is your best bet to give you a bit of both worlds. Oh by the way...it's just you and Nature at it's finest because there's no TV. And WiFi? If you're lucky- because it comes and goes! Didn't realize how much more I'd appreciate Nature and sleeping in a Yurt made me feel like I was right in the thick of it- which we were. This is totally off the spectrum for me compared to my new fave and up-to-trend hotel- The Emerson- but we wanted to switch things up. I'm really not taking points off because there isn't a TV. Or because we had to walk 5 little steps out of our Yurt and into a Bathhouse. Or because there wasn't a thermostat to regulate the heater. All I kept saying to myself was- 'things could be a lot f*cking worse in the woods'. This Yurt is up to standards and met me in many ways for it being in the woods. 4+1/2! Both Caryn and Mark run Awakening Garden very nicely. It's truly Zen here.

We paid for our room in full, $500, and were cancelled to accommodate a personal friend of hers. Incredibly unprofessional behavior, and now we are scrambling to pay even more money to attend one of my childhood friend's weddings - last minute. Personally I would advise against booking here, as your deposit does not guarantee your room and you may be left up a creek like we are.
