Rondout Inn

The Inn is just as advertised. We found our suite comfortable and quiet, extremely clean and well equipped (including a brand new bathroom), with historic quirks and details, in a fun location. Innkeepers BC and Larry are very responsive in email if you have questions in advance and are accessible if you need something during your stay.

We went to Kingston for a weekend getaway & to see a show - the Rondout Inn was perfect for us - clean, comfortable and convenient to everything. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Rondout Inn. The location is great with its proximity to the water, lots of wonderful places to eat, and art galleries. The suite was spacious with a very comfortable bed! The full kitchen provided us an opportunity to have breakfast right there, but after coffee, we headed to a fabulous new breakfast place a few shops down. We would stay here again for sure.

This was our second time at the Rondout Inn. It is situated within the Rondout area and convenient to all locations. We will definitely stay again.

I stayed here for a couple of nights in order to go to the Dutchess County Sheep and Wool Festival with my mother. The rooms were wicked cute and decorated with antiques, as the owners of Rondout Inn own the antique store on the first level. The area was great and had a few bars and restaurants within walking distance. The room was more of an apartment than a room and a bit bigger than what we needed, but we absolutely enjoyed our stay. I would probably rent there again if I needed to be in the area.

We stayed in the apartment on 2nd floor and it was excellent. Everty facility we could need ajnd very clean and well presented. BC and larry were so helpfukll and I would recommend this B&B top anyone. In reality it is much more like your own apratment than a room amnd has a full kitchen, and great lounge area. We stayed in six B&B across New England and some were very nice but this gets my top vote. Dining down at the waterfront was also grerat experience with many choices and we took the boat up the Hudson river too.

The mid-week deal of three nights for the price of two was very reasonable. The apartment was clean and provided all that we needed. We were within walking distance of the waterfront and the Hudson River Cruise and only 25 minutes from the Hyde Park attractions, including FDR's home & library, Eleanor's Val-Kill Cottage, and the Vanderbilt Estate. There were many restaurants within walking distance. We highly reccomend the Rondout Inn.

Among the very best places I have stayed along the Hudson River. Rooms are like suites, Hosts are exceptional and caring. Location to Kingston and Rondout is excellent. I did not elect to have breakfast provided. It is optional.

My daughter and I had never visited the Kingston area before and had no idea where to stay. I feel so lucky to have come across the Rondout! It is the perfect stay in this adorable historical riverside town. The room was spacious and comfortable, Larry and BC were so helpful and welcoming, and the Inn is a block away from at least dozen great restaurants fronting the charming riverfront. Parking was easy, right in front of the Inn. I highly recommend the Rondout Inn to anyone looking for lodging in the Kingston area. The only very small suggestion I would make is that there are no black out window shades on the front windows, so it's a little bright if you like to sleep late. This doesn't apply to the bedroom, only to the living room where there is a futon. Other than that though, perfection! Thank you Rondout Inn for a wonderful experience in Kingston, NY!

Rondout/Kingston was not originally on our travel itinerary, but we're glad we stayed there. The inn is nice and the Rondout area has a nice cluster of good restaurants and historic houses. I highly recommend a stop here.

Perfect location for exploring shops and resturants. Host was helpful and friendly while also providing us a sense of privacy. Highly recommend Rondout Inn.

The "room," which really was a studio apartment with a small kitchen and an attached bath above an antique store was nicely appointed. The location was great, right in the hub of the activities of the Rondout and close to a number of great restaurants and local businesses. Larry and BC were hospitable and friendly and I would recommend it for a weekend escape. It's an inn, so technically it doesn't have to provide breakfast.

Although the Rondout Inn does not have dining on the premises. There are a plethora of restaurants within walking distance. The room has a full kitchen. So, meals can be prepared en suite. Larry and BC make sure you are aware of all that is around and are very helpful.

We arrived a day late due to delays at airport so had to reschedule when to check in but the owners were there when we arrived. They were very friendly and welcoming but we never saw them again despite being told that they would be available the day before we left. We only saw the cleaner at check out. The accommodation was warm and comfortable with a lot of thoughtful extras such as tea, coffee and jam. It was self service so the service and dining were not applicable. I would certainly recommend the Inn to others and would book it again if returning to Kingston. Rene and Alan Canavan, Renfrew, Scotland.

A friend and I spent three days at the Rondout Inn, while in the area for the Dutchess County Sheep & Wool Festival. The rooms were perfect and we loved that we had kitchen facilities available to us. This was more like an apartment, rather than a typical hotel room. BC & Larry were the perfect hosts, going the extra mile, by investigating restaurants in walking distance that could accommodate my gluten-free requirement. I would highly recommend the Rondout Inn, and hope to be staying there again next year!!

I just can't say enough about the Rondout Inn. So relaxing...had everything one would need. Larry and BC are wonderful hosts. Definately would stay there again...and again...

Nice and cosy stay with helpfull people around us. DIning is low because we didn't eat in our flat. We did however miss the possibility to cook our own breakfast or a kettle to boil water for the ;-)

Arrived a day late due to weather and airline problem. Rained most of our stay off and on so was happy to have the living area. Wonderful location, walk to several restaurants. Some small shops in the area. Steps up to unit very steep. Would not recommend for older people due to stairs. Smelled musty in entry hallway. Queen size bed is a four poster and very high off the floor. There is a step stool to access the bed.

Our inn is in an 1820’s building, one of almost 2 dozen similar buildings in the historic waterfront district. They all have stairs, some have stairs steeper than ours, and none have elevators. What the guests thought was mustiness was dampness due to one week of torrential rain before they arrived. Both suites are decorated with furniture in keeping with the historical character of the building. True, the traditional shaker style four poster bed in the 2nd floor suite is approx. 4-5” higher than a regular bed but we made sure to provide a two tread wooden step stool designed for climbing into bed. Most of our guests have found the four poster bed both romantic and charming. Several of our guests’ reviews reflect that.

If you are visiting Kingston this is a good place to stay as it is near the harbour and some great restaurants (we ate in Ship To Shore and can highly recommend it) and the owners were very helpful on check in with useful local information.The only down side if you are only staying for one or two nights and not planning to buy provisions for the apartment is that there is no breakfast supplied and the only walkable breakfast venue was closed when we visited. This also makes the cost quite high as we found most hotels to be cheaper and include breakfast and other B&B's that we have booked in the US did supply breakfast.

We are sorry the guests were disappointed about breakfast. We have found that many of our guests do not want breakfast so we only offer an in-suite continental breakfast as an option. We show this option on our website as: In-suite continental breakfast available for a small surcharge. Please inquire. We even have a rave review posted by recent guests who had requested our breakfast option.

Larry & BC are charming and thoughtful hosts, knowledgeable of the surrounding area and very helpful. Our room -- the Wiltwyck on the third floor -- was spacious and well-appointed. The complementary sherry and chocolates made for relaxing evenings of Scrabble (available in the room, along with other board games and a broad library) after we explored the mountains. All around, a wonderful hide-away upstate, highly recommended.

My family and I had a lovely weekend at the Rondout Inn in Kingston. Our suite exceeded our expectations. It was comfortable, private and beautifully decorated with antiques from the owner's shop Mezzanine. The kitchen was well-equipped with cookware, dishes and staples like coffee, tea and sugar. The bathroom was pretty and well-stocked with toiletries. The owners DC and Larry were very friendly and full of great information about the local galleries and restaurants. I highly recommend it!

This was the most restful 3 days I have spent, Fantastic Place!!!

This Bed & Breakfast was wonderful from the moment we arrived to when we left. Larry and BC were so warm and welcoming. Our quarters were fantastic! Not just a room, but a small apt. The decor was lovely and the place was clean and inviting. There were croissants, fresh fruit, milk, juice and coffee waiting for us as well as a fully equipped kitchen. We had a great time relaxing and look forward to going back.

We visited Kingston over Christmas with family, and wanted a place that allowed us easy access to the waterfront area and the option of cooking our own meals. The Rondout Inn was very accommodating, and the owners are very friendly. The apartment we stayed in is very cozy and comfortable, and the kitchen is well-appointed. We didn't end up cooking there too much after all, but the full-size refrigerator was very helpful for brining the Christmas goose for 24 hours prior to cooking it. The only real downside of the apartment is the size of the shower. The shower is a utility shower that is so narrow as to make showering unpleasant. The shower doesn't fit the apartment at all, and should really be replaced. But overall, it's a great location and a great getaway apartment, with a full and quite nicely appointed kitchen.

Very nice accommodations. Roomy, well equipped and comfortable. No hassles and friendly owners. Weekends are quiet but weekday morning traffic can be a bit noisy. Convenient Rondout location.

Great place. Our apartment suite was very comfortable. The location is super convenient to restaurants and the waterfront. Able to have a few drinks and just walk back the inn. Our hosts BC and Larry were really helpful. They know the lay of the land and all the best places. Because the inn is situated over a real nice antique shop, I was able to surprise my wife with a great piece of vintage jewelry, that she had her eye on, when I returned home..definitely will return to the Rondout Inn.
