Pros:

No water pressure. It literally took fifteen or twenty minutes to get the shampoo out of our hair and the rooms were extremely outdated.The grounds are beautiful and the lobby is nice but if you notice, their advertisements don't include very many pictures of the rooms and for good reason.

Pros:

We were there two nights. Primary purpose was to have a private family meeting. Doug Stone recommended Cafe 56. We conducted our meeting there at 3 pm after it closed. It was the perfect setting - comfortable, lots of light and private. We enjoyed our stay there and will recommend to others.
Only negative was parking was limited and a bit inconvenient. Staff was friendly, grounds were beautiful. It seems like the transition from conference center to hotel is still taking place. We saw new signage going up. Elevators need upgrading. There are very few and existing ones are very slow. Looking forward to seeing more upgrades.

Needs updating and better beds
Pros:

The facility outside is beautiful. The Village area has much more updated and aesthetically pleasing accommodations complete with pretty string lighting outside, fire pits, and a small game room. We were in Crofton Hall though. The room numbers are odd - walking through B rooms to get to A on the same floor and having to take specific elevators even though there’s so many. The beds were horrible. It was like sleeping on cardboard and I had to constantly switch positions so my sciatica wouldn’t flare up. The room was clean except there was water damage on a ceiling tile right where you walk in and you could see black mold forming. The cold faucet leaked when the hot faucet was turned on. Overall it was fine for what we needed but expensive to sleep in such a mediocre bed.

Appears fancy but very lacking once you get inside
Pros:

Amenities were very lacking; there's no fridge or microwave in the rooms, and the floor we were on didn't even have a kitchenette (no card access to the ones on other floors) so there wasn't anywhere we could access these. Even cheap chain hotels have a fridge and microwave in every room, so this place is falling behind the modern standard.

Water pressure in our shower was basically zero, felt like a gentle trickle. Definitely not want we wanted when trying to clean up after a long day of walking outdoors. Two of the towels in the bathrooms had large stains on them as well.

Definitely feels like this place is an event center first, with very little focus on the actual hotel accommodations.

Pros:

The only downfall to this hotel is the walking distance you have to do from where you park then the walk uphill to the hotel. I have breathing issues,. Thank goodness they have a sitting area once you get in to rest.before going onto your room. A suggestion maybe have a valet.

Disappointed
Pros:

Windrose is a convention center, no ongoing restaurant, and probably no breakfast unless there is at least a small meeting there. Breakfast from 7-9 only and cost $25. for a buffet, plus tip.

Lovely grounds but we didn't have time to use them during our stay.

Pros:

More of a conference center campus than a hotel. It was perfectly adequate, with all the necessary amenities in a stunning setting, just a little strange.

A great one day hetaway.
Pros:

My and I booked for a quick stay at Windrose on the Hudson and although we were disappointed that we did not have a view of the Hudson River from the property the property itself was amazing. The property is vast and the hotel itself is confusing, but that added to the charm. It is close to shopping and areas that offer many food optionsas well as its own cafe on the grounds. The property was not built to be a hotel, and you can tell, but the converdion from A GE training site to hotel seems natural. We definitely wanted to be there longer to explore more.

Pros:

Only one night so did not use the amenities. The refrigerator in the room died in the night so lost my leftovers. The room was clean and the staff was helpful. The shower function was strange. I would stay there again.

Pros:

Staying the historic former GE Crottonville training center. The place is amazing. It wasn’t intended to be a hotel per se. It is way, way more than that.

I think it is still looking for its footing as a hotel/corporate conference training center for public, so being able to stay here feels like I have a 6 Sigma training with Neutron Jack at 8:AM.

The place is something to see for yourself hurry!!
