Sounds like Alejandro works for the "new company". Yes the rooms have been updated but still are your basic(very basic) accommodations. I think the rooms should be priced no higher than $79.00/night. They resemble any low priced roadside room you would find around the country. The surroundings are beautiful and the reason, the only reason to stay here. As for... more

I stayed at Overlook Lodge this past weekend for the Romantic Gateway Weekend, and I have to say that I would definitely recommend this hotel along with coming back again. I have stayed here in December of 2007 and I have to say that these new owners have really stepped up their game. The rooms prior to my recent stay... more

The Overlook Lodge has lately been advertising their Sunday Brunch. Great drive up to the Lodge - I'm local (Stony Point), and the whole area of Bear Mountain is highly recommended for leaf peeping and overall good country atmosphere. The setting for the brunch is fantastic, the great room in the Lodge offers viewing deck with tables and breaktaking view.... more

The rooms were old and dirty (so dirty, we questioned whether the hotel had cleaned it before we arrived). The bathroom was unsanitary. The shower was black at the bottom and we even saw hair in it.....DISGUSTING! There was no shower curtain liner, basically there was a sheet for a shower curtain and when you took a shower, it flooded... more

I apologize that you were unhappy with your stay with us; we are undergoing major renovations to both the Overlook Lodge and Stone Cottages. Once the renovations are complete the Stone Cottages will feature new bedding, upgraded bathrooms and new hospitality center in the great room with a microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator.

Very basic

We stayed in one of the stone lodges belonging to the Overlook Lodge, I believe there are 4 or 5 lodges with 6 room to each. We only paid 99.00 for the night so we were not expecting much and we were right. The room was old and worn, stains on the carpet and no screens. Besides the 6 rooms... more

The front desk staff takes customer service to new heights, from the time you check in to the you check out. The views of the Hudson River are just breathtaking from the lobby and are room. I can’t wait to return to stay in one of the new remolded rooms. more

Hardly acknowledged when we arrived, rooms adequate but like 1960 motel. No coffee making facilities, no doors on wardrobe and wires drapped across. Very small television. Breakfast served in plastic plates. Would not stay again. more

We went up for the Valentines overnight package....1st off we were able to check in much earlier than normal which meant we could unpack unwind and relax a bit. 2nd our room was fine,typical hotel room but fine.3rd our dinner was excellent and only exceeded by the wait staff. It was really nice. A bonus was the Sunday morning brunch... more

We booked the Overlook Lodge 4 days before our visit, so felt lucky to get any room, which was also their last available. We read the previous review after booking, and, to be honest, were a little nervous. But, as in the past, we haven't always agreed with trip advisor reviews of other hotels, so decided to go ahead and... more

We wanted to make a reservation for the Bear Mountain Inn but it was closed for renovations. As a result, we decided to check in at their alternate hotel which is the Overlook Lodge. They make it sound like a quaint little romantic getaway in the woods near Bear Mountain in the lower Hudson Valley. It’s not. What it is,... more
