The Heartwood at Vassar

My girlfriend and I had a great time staying at the Heartwood. We were on a weekend trip to celebrate her birthday, which I noted in my reservation. The hotel staff was extremely thoughtful in assigning us a great room and leaving a very kind note with attached voucher to the Salt Line restaurant. The latter part of our stay coincided with a blizzard which closed many local shops, but between the hotel restaurant and the great amenities available throughout the hotel, we thoroughly enjoyed the days we were snowed in. Thanks again to everyone who helped make this a great trip to Poughkeepsie, I hope to return this summer!

I was so excited to stay at the new Heartwood at Vassar, since I am a Vassar grad and being close to campus is so important to me. It's literally walking distance to the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, a world class art collection! I was so thankful to the early morning staff for granting me extra illy coffee for the in room espresso machine and plenty of half and half for my Colombian coffee cravings. The holiday decor was tasteful, and knowing my stay was sustainable, makes it the ethical choice.

It couldn’t be more convenient when visiting Vassar- just steps away from campus. The hotel is so beautiful and the staff could not be more friendly, engaged and accommodating. Comfy bed, great shower and a wonderful bar and restaurant in the lobby - Salt Line. Highly recommend.

Christopher checked me in. There was a couple ahead of me. He was most gracious. He even managed to handle phone calls coming in. He always said “thank you for your patience”, as I waited for him to finish his call. I noticed how attentive he was to the caller, who it appeared was calling for a potential job. He wasn’t dismissive, but took careful attention to take as many details as he could, even though he told the caller they were not hiring at the time. He explained where everything was in the hotel; very detailed. He was just so pleasant! Showed me the little cubby room behind the check in area where I could find more history of Vassar. The room was clean and pleasant. I mean, there are bathrobes too!!! The water pressure was crazy!!!! I could have stayed in there for h

My daughter attended Marist College, and the Heartwood is by far the best hotel in the area. I am a government employee, and they offer a government discount, which made staying here even more attractive (although I would have stayed regardless). The hotel is a short (.02) walk to nearby shops and restaurants. The materials used to build the hotel are exceptional - natural stone and solid wood were used, which creates a feeling of luxury. This is the best value I have ever found in any lodging, anywhere, of all my travels. Love it- do not hesitate to book here.
