The Heartwood earns consistent praise for its modern, spotless spaces, friendly and professional staff, and convenient location directly by Vassar College, with many guests highlighting comfortable, quiet rooms and attractive common areas that feel welcoming and well designed.
Rooms include appreciated touches such as robes, plush towels, and in-room espresso machines, alongside spacious bathrooms and thoughtful design. The on-site restaurant is widely liked, while the complimentary continental breakfast draws mixed feedback for limited choices or timing, though some found it fresh and satisfying. Parking is generally convenient with EV chargers, but a few guests found spaces tight, and isolated complaints noted unfriendly front desk interactions or housekeeping misses. Overall, expect a comfortable, modern stay ideal for Vassar visits.

I booked because location was close to my son’s school. They had just finished new, on site, restaurant with a full bar. The lobby is beautiful and the staff were all very friendly and professional. The room was very clean. Loved the walk in shower, lighted closet, cappuccino machine, full length mirror, and charging areas for electronics. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Robes were provided for use, but were too small for us. The room did not have a microwave, the bathroom did not have a fan, and the room fridge was not very cold, nor did it have a freezer section. Reusable bottles of water were provided, with a refilling station in library. Parking was limited, but there were a few EV charging stations. The continental breakfast had very limited choices, such as rye bread for toast, croissants, fresh fruit, and a bowl of some type of yogurt mixture. Coffee and tea were the beverages offered.

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.

Just off the Vassar campus and a couple blocks from dining district (heavy on pizza, Mexican and other student-friendly fare, but some “real” restaurants also), with on-site parking lot that has several charging stations. Parklike setting with seating areas outdoors and also in the lobby. On-site restaurant was NOT $50-$100 as Google reports! More like $30-$40, and we enjoyed our selections and drinks. Excellent breakfast buffet included with room. Room was all you’d expect from a nice hotel, with complimentary robe for use during your stay, modern bathroom with very plush towels, and a one-cup espresso maker. (Pillows were too fat for my preference, tho.) very happy with our stay.

This little boutique hotel is stunning in every way. Tucked at the edge of Vassar College, it is beautifully integrated into the community and landscaping. Walkable restaurants are everywhere and the in-hotel Salt Line is an elegant bar and dining option.

The maintenance man was extremely apologetic but the front desk staff didn't apologize nor did they offer another room. Very disappointed in a hotel owned by such a prestigious college. I expected a warm friendly welcoming and to be accommodating. Upon checkout, Brian, was very rude and didn't even ask how our stay was nor THANK us!!!!!!

The room was very clean, the robes and espresso machine are a nice extra. The complimentary continental breakfast is nothing special. Actually, has little to offer. The Salt line restaurant has a limited menu as well. The employees we dealt with at arrival and check out were exceptional. Very friendly, helpful, and yet professional.

Last minute trip for a family emergency. Hotel is clean, plenty of parking. Room was good size. Bed was comfortable. Did not hear any noise outside of room. The price was good for a normal room but the suites are oddly way more expensive. And the weekend rates jump high. The area seems safe but also just depends as like with all cities how many streets over one way or the other can change. My main complaint is the breakfast. Very unhealthy options, no scrambled eggs just hard boiled, and no bacon or sausage options. Lots of bread and sugar. I always looked forward to a continental breakfast and didnt eat here once. I suspect because they have an onsite restaurant they would rather people eat at.

The Heartwood is a very nice new hotel right on the Vassar College campus. The decor throughout was modern yet warm. Our room was very nice, with a comfortable king bed, modern and spacious bathroom, nice decor and a large wall-mounted TV. Given how expensive other nice hotels were in the Poughkeepsie / New Paltz area, I highly recommend this hotel, as it was reasonably priced and quite nice, with friendly and attentive staff.

This is an excellent hotel in every respect. Very nicely designed, clean and new, beautiful surroundings and lovely staff. Right across the street from Vassar’s lovely campus and we even arrived to find an eclectic farmer’s market on a Thursday evening. The price midweek was also incredible value, although it basically would have doubled if we’d stayed another night.

The Heartwood is a very nice new hotel right on the Vassar College campus. The decor throughout was modern yet warm. Our room was very nice, with a comfortable king bed, modern and spacious bathroom, nice decor and a large wall-mounted TV. Given how expensive other nice hotels were in the Poughkeepsie / New Paltz area, I highly recommend this hotel, as it was reasonably priced and quite nice, with friendly and attentive staff.

Dining
The on-site restaurant gets strong praise for tasty, well-priced meals. The complimentary continental breakfast is simple and fresh for some, but others found it limited or slow, and it does not start before 7 am.

I booked because location was close to my son’s school. They had just finished new, on site, restaurant with a full bar. The lobby is beautiful and the staff were all very friendly and professional. The room was very clean. Loved the walk in shower, lighted closet, cappuccino machine, full length mirror, and charging areas for electronics. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Robes were provided for use, but were too small for us. The room did not have a microwave, the bathroom did not have a fan, and the room fridge was not very cold, nor did it have a freezer section. Reusable bottles of water were provided, with a refilling station in library. Parking was limited, but there were a few EV charging stations. The continental breakfast had very limited choices, such as rye bread for toast, croissants, fresh fruit, and a bowl of some type of yogurt mixture. Coffee and tea were the beverages offered.

Its an excellent hotel. Very sheek and stylish. Its new so no maintenance is required. My only disappointment was the breakfast. It was pretty dismal compared to what other hotels nearby provide. They need to look into that. Other than that, I will give it 5/5 stars.

Just off the Vassar campus and a couple blocks from dining district (heavy on pizza, Mexican and other student-friendly fare, but some “real” restaurants also), with on-site parking lot that has several charging stations. Parklike setting with seating areas outdoors and also in the lobby. On-site restaurant was NOT $50-$100 as Google reports! More like $30-$40, and we enjoyed our selections and drinks. Excellent breakfast buffet included with room. Room was all you’d expect from a nice hotel, with complimentary robe for use during your stay, modern bathroom with very plush towels, and a one-cup espresso maker. (Pillows were too fat for my preference, tho.) very happy with our stay.

Great staff, great location, lovely rooms. Our only complaint is the complicated espresso machine vs coffee maker in the room coupled with no coffee or breakfast available til 7am. We had to be out the door at 630. Luckily there's a great bagel place within walking distance.

The room was very clean, the robes and espresso machine are a nice extra. The complimentary continental breakfast is nothing special. Actually, has little to offer. The Salt line restaurant has a limited menu as well. The employees we dealt with at arrival and check out were exceptional. Very friendly, helpful, and yet professional.

Wonderful place to stay while in Poughkeepsie or the Poughkeepsie area. Very comfortable, lovely surroundings. In lovely neighborhood with across the street access to Vassar campus. The Salt Line restaurant in the hotel serving breakfast, lunch and dinner has an innovative menu with something for everyone. Very friendly and helpful staff at the Heartwood. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Beautiful hotel, that’s well kept. Beds are cozy, robes in the room, and amazing shower. The on-site restaurant was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.
