Can't recommend enough
Excellent hotel discovered by accident. Great price point. Luxe everything- upscale toiletries, cool sweatshirt bathrobes, Illy coffee, distilled water stations on every floor, impeccable service. Added a second night and hotel took care of everything seamlessly. Hotel room design thoughtful. Great bed and pillows. Can't recommend enough!! This is why chain hotels are a snooze and places like this are a delight.

Think twice
Front desk wasn't friendly at all. Not welcoming. Room had a big leak from the shower above. The maintenance man was extremely apologetic but the front desk staff didn't apologize nor did they offer another room. Very disappointed in a hotel owned by such a prestigious college. I expected a warm friendly welcoming and to be accommodating. Upon checkout, Brian, was very rude and didn't even ask how our stay was nor THANK us!!!!!!

This little boutique hotel is stunning in every way. Tucked at the edge of Vassar College, it is beautifully integrated into the community and landscaping. Walkable restaurants are everywhere and the in-hotel Salt Line is an elegant bar and dining option.
