Review from Gillian T.

My boyfriend and I (early twenties, australians new to NY) planned to stay only one night at Alexander Hamilton House, but couldn't resist staying another night. Tom, the housekeeper, is simply a lovely chap, ever welcoming and exciting to be around --his warm, goey cookies served for afternoon tea aren't bad either!
The house itself is divine: beautifully and somewhat eccentrically decorated. It's clean, the communal lounges are welcoming and spacious, we really thought we were the only guests staying.
Our room was big, clean and the bed soft with great bouncy pillows. Breakfast is served at your convenience (french toast, fresh fruit, muffins-- don't mind if i do!)
With the train station walking distance away, and Enterprise car hire just on the corner, getting around the adjacent towns is a cinch. Things to do? Sleepy Hollow graveyard, the Rockerfeller Estates, Dia Beacon and BlueHill at Stone Barns. What an amazing weekend away. Thanks Tom and Barbara, see you at Cape Cod maybe?
P.s There's even a pool and giant outdoor chess set! -

My wife and I stayed here over Easter Break. They asked for a general time that we would arrive and had fresh baked cookies ready for us when we got there. Very nice. The building is very quaint with most of the rooms on the second floor. Most rooms have a bathroom... so if that is your thing be sure you check. The rooms were very comfortable. We stayed in the Garden Room I believe. It was a little small and crowded with the day bed in it, but very comfy. Croton-on-Hudson is a very nice town, however we spent most of our time down in The City (we took a train in). Breakfast was amazing. My wife was in her first trimester at the time and they did very well dealing with her particular... needs. Fresh fruit, bread, jams. Gourmet teas... and eaten in a very nice garden/sun room. You can eat with other people staying at the time, although I think you can request to eat alone.
If I had to list one complaint, it would be that the wood in our room was to green and I couldn't get a fire to stay lit. -

Loved it. Very unique, charming and relaxing environment. You feel like home as soon as you are greeted by the wonderful owner. She was all about taking care of us and making sure we felt comfortable with the beautiful house. Even though it was almost fully booked, we felt like we were treated as top priority. Breakfast was killer good. No detail was overlooked and the food just tasted fresh and wholesome. I don't even have to rush to make breakfast since you get to chose to come down as late as 9 or 10 in the morning, great stuff. Our room was great, very spacious and had a fireplace, full bathroom with a Jacuzzi. The room décor was quite refreshing because it had the best of both worlds, delicate antique pieces in a modern space. It works quite well. The room is also very clean and doesn't have an odor. You can tell that someone put a lot of heart into it. That basically goes for the whole experience. Also, the village is very very cute and definitely worth going to unwind and do whatever your heart desires. Stress free! I will definitely go again. P.S. you get fresh baked cookies every day...yumm.
Specialties
An 1889 Victorian inn, specializing in romance and comfort for our guests. The inn is also close to many attractions in the Hudson Valley, such as Kykuit and Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Our innkeepers are knowledgeable about the area and can guide you in the direction of a wonderful weekend. Breakfast is our favorite time, where we are flexible about what our guests can have in the morning, meeting any special dietary needs or allergies as well. Come swim in our large swimming pool in the summer, or toast by the fireplace in the winter. Anytime is great in the Hudson Valley!
History
Established in 1982
The Alexander Hamilton House was started by Barbara Notarius in an effort to pay for the exhaustive oil bills. As the business became more successful, we added on guest rooms and bathrooms, whirlpools and fireplaces to the Victorian house. In the last few years, Cydney, Barbara's daughter has become a member of the staff and brought her love of food and hospitality to the guests.
Meet the Business Owner: Cyd K.
Cyd has been involved with the inn since she was a little girl, since she grew up in the bed & breakfast. A lover of culture, she has a BA in Cultural Anthropology from UMASS Amherst and has taken many classes in cooking and cuisine, both from the Culinary Institute of America and the Institute for Culinary Education. She enjoys cooking, baking, dancing, reading and running. She enjoys sewing and knitting as well, and makes aprons, wedding cakes and websites in her spare time. Don't expect a little old lady innkeeper here, she's got 5 tattoos and they're all food!
