Hidden Little Gem in Hudson
Hidden Little Gem in Hudson NY
We picked this inn and felt so lucky we did. My wife and I have loved the Hudson Valley for years, especially for peace and quiet for high-quality shopping mid-century furniture and great art with fabulous jewelry and the best toy store ever. It’s a hidden Gem of Hudson, NY. The bars are excellent, but walking was our thing—that weekend. October fall foliage must be absolutely great there. I called my sons and said let’s surprise Mom for Mother’s Day; we flew up from Palm Beach to put the phones down avoid the hustle of Manhattan and be with our sons and spouses. Plus our 1-year-old Leo. The hotel had made reservations for us at two other restaurants Friday and Saturday night and then would enjoy their restaurant CaMea Sunday for Moms Day brunch. The hotel 5-star restaurant. Well, when the kids came up from NYC and saw their menu, they said let’s stay here. Another hidden Jem of Hudson NY was CaMea. So the kids got to watch Leo on a monitor in the room and the six of us had an unbelievable meal with special attention of TLC from staff, and the Chef and hostess, let’s not forget Roy, who is the owner. His presence is on every tile, wood, furniture, and staff food. We walked 19000 steps shopping on Warren Street. We grabbed lunch at Wunderbar. “Fabulous” as well. We went to dinner at another recommended restaurant and sat down and call CaMea and asked at 8:30 if they had an availability for 7. They said, Cmon over. We jumped on the street and walked our appetite over there for another 5-star dinner, things we didn’t have the first time. The food was out of this world. We are an adventurous group and love to try new places, but when you get treated like family there’s nothing like it. And yes Sunday brunch was there as well. A completely different menu. Quiche, Pop Overs anything we wanted off or on the menu. etc. Love this little hidden Jem in Hudson Valley. By the way, the rooms were spotless, the showers were superior and the beds were so new and comfortable. What a great weekend! Wish I bought some furniture and some art but instead little Leo had his first taste of vanilla ice cream “with mom's...
Read moreWe wanted to visit Hudson, NY and knew we would need to spend the night. We previously visited Kingston, NY and wanted a similar experience, staying in another boutique hotel. This is how we landed at The Howard Hotel. As another reviewer said, this hotel happens to be in the best part of Warren Street where there aren't meters to worry about. Yes, there is alternate side of the street parking and that is very well explained in the hotel material. Another reviewer said this is like an AirBnB because of the contactless check-in. I agree to that (though I've never stayed in an AirBnB) and everything went super smoothly. We did have a question about the ice maker in the common area on the floor and that was easily resolved. Might be best if there would be a sign on how to add water to the ice maker should you see that error message as we did, but again it was resolved when we texted the question to the contact phone number.||The room was clean and quiet. The air conditioner worker exactly as described on the printed material in the room. We stayed in 302 which was a nice quiet room on the 3rd floor at the end of the hall. We sat out front before dinner though the cushions were a little wet from the prior evenings deluge. There is a lovely "backyard" area but we were a little fearful of getting ourselves locked back there though there was a way to prop the door open; we didn't want to do that either because it was a very warm day (and the A/C worked fine). We walked everywhere in town and found this hotel to be perfectly...
