Houghtaling Island Hotels

"We loved the uniqueness of the hotel "

"The hotel and grounds are gorgeous. A lot of thought went into the design and it shows. We loved the open modern feel of the room and view of the Hudson was amazing. We also loved the electric shades allowing an almost blackout experience. The staff was very accommodating. They filled our small cooler with ice daily since they don’t have a public ice maker. Having a gym right next door was perfect and although I was not able to book a massage due to time constraints, I loved the option of the spa being right next door. There was an issue with booking a massage online during my stay when trying to find a time that worked for me, but the staff helped by getting me the phone number and I did get a text back very quickly. A few nit picky things that would improve the experience would be to swap out the plastic shower curtains, have tissues in the room and the option of feather pillows. Also for security consider having the elevators only work if the person has a room card like other major hotels. Side note: Currently the waterfront area is being rejuvenated. There are some restaurant options close by, but not a lot of shops. From what I learned, there is a big push to renovate and get shops open. Once that happens this will be a great little gem. Right now it’s a great place to stay if you are ok with hanging out at the nearby park and driving about a half hour to Hudson or Catskill for shops. (And many of those only open later in the week - Wednesday or Thursday - Saturday). "

"Zach at the front desk was so accommodating. If he goes, that place is going under."

"Very nice rooms "

"Very welcoming staff. Great breakfast!"

"Breakfast which is included for all guests was nicer than most, including hot waffles and scrambled eggs. Rooms are nicely appointed, clean and have comfortable beds and pillows. AC worked well. Good room darkening drapes. Note that if you can’t walk a long… distance ask for a room assignment near the elevator. There are rooms that are a far walk. "

"Front desk is very kindful and helpful "

"Amazing little cozy retreat with beautiful surroundings! Everything you need for a perfect visit with nature - firewood, s’mores kit, coffee. The views were great!"
