The Dutchess Inn and Spa at Beacon

Beautiful room with a nice little balcony The entire building was immaculately maintained and staff couldn’t have been friendlier Really quiet Only negative was slightly spotty WiFi Room temperature is controlled by the house but it was comfortable

I spent one night at the Dutchess Inn. The location is excellent, right on the Main Street in Beacon walkable to shops and dining. The room was small but comfortable. The bathroom was small but nice amenities. The sink was outside the bathroom. There is a rooftop sitting area but no bar or food is available.

Convenient location

This was our second time in this hotel. The first time the experience was excellent so we rebooked. But now they have a recently opened,nearly adjacent, Annex in a repurposed textile factory. This was much less pleasant. First, there was no elevator so you have to go up 21 steps, not easy if you have heavy luggage. Moreover, when booking there was no notice about no elevator to the room. The interior decoration of the room is industrial chic, clearly an expensive project. The room decoration is funky but not comfortable. There was really no sitting space, an old sewing table for a desk but one has to share the space with a big sewing machine. No closet or chest for clothes. An antique ironing board served as an end table, which means thinking a bit about how to leave the bed. Next time I will only go to the hotel if the room is booked in the main building, where our room was charming and comfortable.

The location is good. The staff friendly. The room was large and nice. However, the room was uncomfortably warm. We asked if temp could be dropped but we didn’t notice a difference. At one point my husband propped our door open to let cool air in because the hallway was much cooler. It would be nice if the hotel had water or soda available to purchase as well.

Very nice property that is very well maintained. The private room was small but adequate and the large windows brought in great natural light. The public spaces on the upper level were great, especially the rooftop terrace with gas fire pits and wonderful views. It was nice to enjoy coffee outside on the porch in the morning and an after dinner drink in the evening on the rooftop terrace.
