Nautical Nest Hudson — Attraction in City of Hudson

I chose to stay at the Nautical Nest for my second trip to Hudson, NY. I liked that it was closer to shops, galleries, and restaurants on the west side of Warren St that I had missed during a previous visit. The Nautical Nest is the second property of the owners of Nest Hudson. Of the four units, I booked a second floor room with a balcony after researching details on several third party websites. As the name suggests, the room had a nautical theme with a well-chosen decor and nice finishes. It included a king-sized bed (very comfortable mattress), chest of drawers topped with a beverage station, and a desk. The bathroom was bright, with great quality towels and strong shower pressure. Nest Hudson shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner were provided. My favorite feature, however, was the Nespresso coffeemaker in the room! This was very convenient, and I was happy to have a high quality coffee everyday. I also enjoyed the balcony for morning coffee and to relax later in the day. An outdoor patio is next to the building. There is also a communal kitchen with a small fridge, microwave, and tea kettle that some guests seemed to use quite often. Individually wrapped snacks and tea are located there, and replenished every few days.||A few tips:|1. The Nautical Nest listings on multiple third party websites state that there is "free parking." In reality, it is free STREET parking. Fortunately, I visited during a less busy week, so I was able to secure parking on the same street as the hotel, City Hall Pl, most days. However, parking is not allowed there from 9pm Wednesday to 8am Thursday, so I moved my car to the nearby Union St. Unfortunately, Union St is subject to alternate street parking rules. There is no signage to indicate which is an "even" vs "odd" side of the street, so a ticket will be issued if you park on the wrong side of the street. I was unaware of this parking issue prior to booking my reservation. I notified the owners to update their third party website listings. They may also want to arrange parking for guests in a nearby municipal lot as some other hotels on Warren St have done.||2. The Nautical Nest is an older building, so floors and stairs are creaky. You will hear anyone who is up and about early, including housekeeping. If your room has a window A/C unit, street noise will be quite audible (road construction, back up truck alarms, etc). I purchased ear plugs after waking up to the sound of a jack hammer the first morning of my stay. Prior to my arrival, I also received two requests to "keep noise at a minimum" and "be mindful of other guests" in informational emails from management. I also received an additional reminder when notified that my room was ready for check in. Although I understand the intent, I thought this was a bit much.||Overall, the Nautical Nest is a quality boutique hotel. I enjoyed my room as it was quite spacious and comfortable. Although I was stressed about the parking situation, other guests may be less concerned. If you are a "morning person," the sounds inside and outside of the building may not...

My second time staying at the Nautical Nest and, it feels like a home away from home. You really can’t help it the moment you plug in that code and enter the Nautical Nest. Every detail inside and out has been given careful thought in selection and placement. A gorgeous fall arrangement of pumpkins and gourds greeted us on the front steps upon our arrival. Once inside we went upstairs to our room which also had a balcony with two seats and a side table - just perfect for enjoying a coffee in the morning. There’s a keurig machine on the first floor with other considerate additions such as snacks, extra glasses, napkins, wine bottle opener etc. everything we needed was right there. Not to mention the incredible location!!! The Nautical Nest is right in the heart of downtown Hudson and walking distance to restaurants, shops, and places to grab a drink. The location couldn’t have been more convenient! The owner, Michael, definitely overextended himself, offering us so many great suggestions and ideas so that we could experience the most of Hudson during our visit. He and the comfort of the Nautical Nest is exactly the reason why we came back. We wanted to experience more of what Hudson has to offer! There was one rainy day while we were there and we decided to be somewhat productive. Wi-Fi at the Nautical Nest is fast so no worries about connection! We are so in love with this place and will be back for our third stay. We really can not recommend this...
