My second stay at the Stewart House
Pros:

A rare gem nestled in the heart of the Hudson, and overlooking the river, this house of hospitality is not to be missed. The historic Stewart House is warm, rich and tastefully updated with beautiful finishes reminiscent of the period. The staff is friendly and professional, eager to enhance your experience. The bar is warm and dark as in days of the river traffic and the dinner offerings are exceptional and reasonably priced.

Pros:

The boutique hotel style was very charming. The way the room and the noot were furnished brought back the good old days of the hotel in the 19th century.
We also appreciated the flexible, self service breakfast. The room overlooking the Hudson and the park was a plus during our stay.

Pros:

The first morning there was no water to drink or make tea/coffee. The second day we noticed the whole milk in the nook was off and lumpy. There were also no English tea bags. I
suggest someone checks the nook every day.

The Sterwart house was charming, quiet, and comfortable. We loved the pillows especially.
Pros:

Self-serve breakfast was a nice option to have with delicious yogurt, granola and zucchini bread. There was also an option of oat milk besides milk and cream.

Passable
Pros:

The historical charm

Cons:

An alarm went off before sunrise which sounded like air raid warnings. I couldn’t sleep afterwards.

Beautiful historic hotel with lovely views of the Hudson River.
Pros:

Beautiful property, lovely location right on the river.

Cons:

The tavern and riverside grill aren’t open Monday through Wednesday, and there isn’t a good-size common area or lobby for a group of more than 2 people to sit and eat breakfast or enjoy a conversation. The small nook in the hallway where breakfast is served has a couple chairs but isn’t a gathering space. I ended up eating my breakfast in my room because the tavern area was closed off. It would have been nice to have a common seating area downstairs.
