This is an excellent hotel in every respect. Very nicely designed, clean and new, beautiful surroundings and lovely staff. Right across the street from Vassar’s lovely campus and we even arrived to find an eclectic farmer’s market on a Thursday evening. The price midweek was also incredible value, although it basically would have doubled if we’d stayed another night.

Just off the Vassar campus and a couple blocks from dining district (heavy on pizza, Mexican and other student-friendly fare, but some “real” restaurants also), with on-site parking lot that has several charging stations. Parklike setting with seating areas outdoors and also in the lobby. On-site restaurant was NOT $50-$100 as Google reports! More like $30-$40, and we enjoyed our selections and drinks. Excellent breakfast buffet included with room. Room was all you’d expect from a nice hotel, with complimentary robe for use during your stay, modern bathroom with very plush towels, and a one-cup espresso maker. (Pillows were too fat for my preference, tho.) very happy with our stay.

This property was very clean and smelled great (they use a diffuser in the lobby). The beds are amazing with a comfortable mattress and soft sheets/comforter which made for a cocoon-like sleeping environment. The continental breakfast was simple but fresh and delicious. The location was right across from Vassar College which made it extremely convenient during Reunion Weekend. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful stay at The Heartwood.

Front desk was very friendly and courteous. Cleaning staff was helpful and did a wonderful job servicing the room. Coffee was available at 7 am, breakfast at 7:30. We would have preferred coffee a little earlier, however there was an in-room espresso option but at an up charge. We had the continental breakfast, offerings were limited but very good quality. There was an option to order off a menu at an extra charge. Wait staff was friendly but a few times a little stressed and short with the patrons.
