Great staff, great location, lovely rooms. Our only complaint is the complicated espresso machine vs coffee maker in the room coupled with no coffee or breakfast available til 7am. We had to be out the door at 630. Luckily there's a great bagel place within walking distance.

The hotel is modern but so warm and inviting. The beds are extremely comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was tasty and I truly appreciated being able to order a cappuccino as well. Perfect stop on our road trip through Vassar!

Nice hotel in the Poughkeepsie/ New Paltz area

The Heartwood is a very nice new hotel right on the Vassar College campus. The decor throughout was modern yet warm. Our room was very nice, with a comfortable king bed, modern and spacious bathroom, nice decor and a large wall-mounted TV. Given how expensive other nice hotels were in the Poughkeepsie / New Paltz area, I highly recommend this hotel, as it was reasonably priced and quite nice, with friendly and attentive staff.

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.
