Loved this hotel! The beds were so comfortable and everything was very clean. Loved everything about it! Can’t wait to come back again and stay longer.

Excellent hotel discovered by accident. Great price point. Luxe everything- upscale toiletries, cool sweatshirt bathrobes, Illy coffee, distilled water stations on every floor, impeccable service. Added a second night and hotel took care of everything seamlessly. Hotel room design thoughtful. Great bed and pillows. Can't recommend enough!! This is why chain hotels are a snooze and places like this are a delight.A gorgeous new hotel, adjacent to the Vassar College campus. The hotel design is minimalist and practical--good storage; mini fridge and coffee maker; comfortable seating; great shower! The Heartwood is professionally well-run, warm and welcoming. Will be out place to stay when we re-visit friends in the area. Top Notch!
