Beekman Arms Delamater Inn

The rooms at this inn are wonderful. They are big and very comfortable. They make you feel like you are in a Hallmark movie. It is located in a perfect part of town so you can just park your car ( the inn has ample free parking) and walk around the beautiful downtown. The food is delicious. I really enjoyed my stay.

Stayed 5 nights while we visited family on both sides of the Hudson. Great Tavern and delightful staff. The ambiance and knowing George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Benedict Arnold stayed there during the revolutionary war was an interesting experience. If you’re looking for luxury this isn’t it.

We were looking forward to staying in town overnight. We had had a drink at the bar in the past and loved the historical feel. But, I wouldn't stay at the hotel. We had a room out of the main building. Definitely, not historical unless your history is 1960-1970, the last time the room was updated. The room smelled and the curtains were falling off the windows. There was an unsealed, unlabeled liquor in the room. We checked in and checked out an hour later. Too bad the hotel has not be updated in the last 50 years.

My fiancé just arrived with his aging parents and staff flatly refused to help him carry their bags up the stairs. What kind of service is that? If you don’t have an elevator you should be prepared to help people with their bags!

Been staying at the Beekman Arms for countless years. Always a cozy, clean room with the charm of an old, historical building (and we’ve stayed in almost all the buildings). I do feel that the rooms have become dated and worn over the last few visits and in dire need of refreshing. For instance, the curtains in our last room were completely tattered and hanging from flimsy curtain rods that were falling off the wall. They did not provide much privacy or for that matter ambience to the room. The bathroom sink was badly chipped and rusted near the drain. Again, not providing much appeal for a historic inn experience. A fresh coat of paint would also work wonders. That said, I feel the room was otherwise clean. While I understand times have been tough, I hope the Beekman Arms can afford to address some of these issues in their rooms to once again bring us back to the classier inn stay of years past.

This was our second stay at Beekman Arms, and it was another great little getaway. It’s the perfect location in Rhinebeck and there’s some cool stuff to do in the neighboring towns too. We will definitely be back. For whatever reason this time around staff didn’t seem very happy, but it didn’t ruin our trip.

We stayed at the Thompson House (I believe that's what its called) right around the corner from the Beekman Arms. The building appears to be connected. Anyway, it was a huge room with giant closet and bathroom - compared to the average hotel room - and it had tons of charm and couldn't be in a more convenient location. The bed and pillows were amazingly comfortable and the room was super quiet, as there are only four other rooms at this location. There is a great little bagel shop right across the street, so that's where we fueled up in the AM, so I can't speak to the continental breakfast they offer. We loved our stay! Parking can be a little congested but it is honestly not a big deal at all and didn't effect us whatsoever. Would stay here again in a heartbeat - only wish the front desk staff were a little more pleasant (no thank you for staying - how was your visit, etc.) but that seems to be the norm anymore. Overall, this was a home run!

For us the hotel's attraction was it's main building. We knew our room would not be in the main building, however it's one of those things where you continue booking it, forgetting you're not staying in the main building with all the charm and history. We booked a room in the Carriage House through their website, based on photos - we liked the charm of the room. Upon arrival, they switched rooms and put us into a more plain jane building (Delemeter). They never told us, just handed us the keys. Later, we called the front desk to ask why we didn't get the room we booked, they gave conflicting reasons and said they upgraded us. The room we're in is adequate, but it has no charm - back to our original intent as to what drew us to this hotel in the first place. Furthermore, I saw a cc charge come through higher than our reservation amount. In the end, I got no clear answer, nor apology for the switch (other than to tell me once more we received an upgraded room), and conceding to the lower amount per the reservation, as if to say "be glad we at least did that". I'm sure they are good people and a reputable hotel, given as long as they have been in business, but honestly - we're not coming back here. I feel a little taken advantage of and I just don't think that's right. There are other options, we don't have to come here.

If you enjoy a step back in time, go for it! Bed was very comfortable, room was very clean! You need to be patient if you want hot water on the third floor. It's a charming establishment! Ryan seemed a little stressed. Usually upon leaving you would be asked how was your stay, guess that doesn't apply here. I would stay again, location was perfect! Breakfast was very good.

Went with friends who live in Rhinebeck for the Sunday brunch buffet and was impressed. The building itself was worth the visit steeped in well kept history. Options for seating varied between beautiful heavy oak rooms with high backed booths to bright, greenery laden seating in the glass encased patio. The buffet has bottomless help yourself champagne drinks with juices, fruit etc. there was an omelette station, salads, meats, waffles, eggs Benedict, and even a turkey carving station. The desserts were all ace (we tried almost everything) and service was quite attentive and friendly! All conveniently located in cute downtown area- parking was a breeze. All in all.. look forward to going back!

Great location in town. Park and walk to all. Really nice restaurants around. Bia was great. Le petit bistro looks good. We really liked cafe con leche a Puerto Rican spot. Also nice shops to roam in and out of. Samuels is a fun sweet shop. About the inn. Very welcomed by Ryan at the front desk. Informative and friendly. We stayed in room 22 a queen large room. Simply done and spacious. Nice bathroom. Nothing fancy just plain fine. A little decanted of sherry, plenty of towels and shampoo etc...comfy bed. When room is made up by the cleaning staff, it is done so well. All towels replaced, bed is made beautifully, shampoo replenished, coffee packs replenished. Room vacuumed. Great cleaning service. Only drawback is that you can hear everything in the lobby and outside the front door. Music from the bar too. Not loud but noticeable. Not a drawback but since the place is old it's super creaky. The floor boards are in rare form and we sounded like a herd of elephants. lol. Parking is great! Worth the stay.

Had a girls trip decided to stay here. We got the only room available for three people to stay in. It was not in the house but a ways away and upstairs from where breakfast is served. The steps were a bit steep. But doable for us. I stayed in the only bedroom. Which was cutely decorated and had its own ac and tv it faced the street but wasn't noisy but could be bright. I hate to pull curtains (an eye mask did the trick). The bathroom was adequate the water pressure and temp were great. The living room had a pullout couch the mattress should be changed it sloped towards the head so it wasn't so comfortable the other bed was old and rickety. The tv worked when it wanted to. But I'm a big girl and I was afraid to sit in any of the chairs. They could've put twin beds on opposite sides of the room and still would've had room for a couch. It was hard to sit in the living room w the couch as a bed. The kitchen was old looking and the coffee maker would not work we had them look at it twice and they couldn't figure it out. They also had to come for the tv too. I was afraid to sit at the kitchen table because I thought the chairs did not look strong enough. The room definitely needs an up grade. Breakfast was ok lots of bread items no real proteins. I don't drink coffee but friends said it was ok. It very close to downtown so it was nice to walk to town and have a bite. Front desk was somewhat helpful but we had to call three times to get someone to come to our room for the tv and coffee pot. It cost us $700+ for two nights not sure if it was worth that. Gratefully I have a high status on booking so that saved us about $150. Don't think I'd book here again.

We enjoyed a lovely stay @ The Beekman Arms - every minute from the moment we arrived! Easy to park in the rear lot near a fabulous Antiques Center. We entered the lobby, greeted by Christina @ the Front Desk, right on time for our lunch reservation where the wait staff provided excellent service. We took a walk thru the charming village, did a little shopping @ Oblong bookstore and Hammertown Home Furnishings. We stopped for a casual dinner at Fosters where they offered hearty, homemade menu choices, and desserts, and then relaxed back at the Inn to sit by the fireplace, so comfortable. This morning, the breakfast & service at the Delamater was more than we expected - a perfect way to end a 'sister's' get-away. On top of the Spring in the air today - it was simply wonderful - just what we were hoping for and desperately needed after this long Winter -THANK YOU Christina & staff - Maureen Connors Culligan, Patti Connors Madison & Shannon Connors Dufresne - we will be back again, and with our husbands next time :) in tow

We were here from Boston to visit a friend in Rhinebeck and decided to do lunch here. The food was good and the service even better. Our server Laura was spot on and took very good care of us. The only down side regarding the food was the turkey pot pie needed more turkey in it and the biscuit that sat on top needed to be not so hard.. my Turkey Reuben was wonderful, as was the Turkey cobbler sandwich. We shared a calamari which we all enjoyed. All in all a solid 4 stars! Would love to come for dinner when we return. The restaurant itself was quite lovely and the atmosphere warm and inviting. Lots and lots to see from olden days which we also enjoyed. The bar filled up and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves as we were leaving. Thank you all for everything and we will be back.

Had a very nice lunch at Beekman arms today. They have a huge menu. We opted for a burger and a BLT. Their fries are very good. They were pretty busy... it took a while to get a table. However, once we were seated, we got our food quickly. Our server, Zach, was very nice and efficient. I plan to go back soon. We ate outside, most people are familiar with the interior of the Beekman arms, and that is worth a visit all on its own.

I do wish I did not have to give it one star in order to write a review. My son and I booked the Christmas Buffet on Christmas day fora 3:45 reservation (time determined by reservation staff and had waited 5 days for a call back to make the reservation.)After driving 2 hours to reach our destination, we checked into our airbnb and headed straight for dinner. Only to find a sign on the door " the Inn is closed due to a broken pipe in our kitchen". No phone call to alert us even though they had both our cell phone #s and had called both of us to make the reservation. Since we were from out of town and staying at an airbnb, we obviously did not have any food supplies with us. We had to search on our phones for someplace open, drove 1/2 hour to a chinese restaurant and paid for inedible food. No one has returned our phone message about this situation or even to apologize.

Everything you could want in a small town in. This place has been around forever for a reason. I did not stay in the main house, I stayed next-door, room was very clean and comfortable. Much larger than I anticipated. That said, the in itself is full of charm. my lovely companion and I spent some time sitting in the lobby next to the fireplace, which was wonderful on a snowy day. I also spent some time in the library that had an interesting selection of books (I wish I had time to read more of "mutiny on the bounty"). The staff was friendly, and keep in mind this is a small in. When the sign on the desk says "back in five minutes," it might be more like 15 minutes... Set your large city expectations aside, relax, pretend you are in a Hallmark movie. the location in town is also great as it really is in the center of things (not that there is much more than the center), but all of Rhinebeck is easily accessible from this location. Prices were as expected for a boutique of this provenance, and I'm already looking for the next time I can stay here. Make sure to eat at the tavern, or at least get a nice drink or Mocktail at the bar.

we attended a brunch buffet at Beekman arms. $40 per person and all they offered was some dried out chicken fingers and two kinds of fish there were eggs, Benedict that were cold and dried out. It was terrible. It was a miserable offering for $40 and it was in hot plates were unattended and I would not recommend ever going there and it's a disgrace to make such a poor show of a meal at such a beautiful place. Shame on them.

My partner wanted to treat me for my birthday, so we came here. This is an amazing colonial Tavern that has been here since 1766. It has a very nice atmosphere. The tavern room, the main restaurant, are nice, but we ate in the room with the fireplace. And we had the room all to ourselves. We each started with the soup of the day. It was delicious. For our main course, my partner had the chicken in Brandy sauce, and I had the Dutch pot pie. My partner loved her chicken, she said it was tinder and very rich. My Dish, was basically a deconstructed pot pie, with tender turkey and a wonderful cream gravy with vegetables ,and a giant cheddar bay biscuit, right in the middle. The biscuit was warm, tender and delicious. For dessert, we each had a slice of the delectable, red velvet cake, and because it was my birthday, they even put a candle in it for me. The waiter jokingly said that he would've sung happy birthday to me, but we really didn't want to hear him sing... LOL The service was wonderful, and for all we got, the price was very reasonable. It was a great evening. Thank you

Stopped in after work for some snacks and drinks to celebrate the holidays. I split a bottle of Rioja wine and it was delicious. It was a nice blend and I would definitely order it again. Someone in our party ordered Mother's Milk beer and it took forever for it to be served but they were happy as it's a favorite. We tried the French onion soup and the truffle fries. The fries were amazing but the soup was ok. The soup was not anything to write home about. We had fun and our waitress was nice. We were really wanting to sit in front of a fire but I don't think they're doing that anymore due to the recent fires. The building is super old and the first inn in America. I don't know if that's true but it definitely has character

We needed a place to stay overnight near Red Hook and Beekman Arms was recommended to us. Unfortunately we arrived there after midnight so did not take advantage of any of the amenities in what is probably a quaint spot. Breakfast the next morning was extremely disappointing with paper plates and plastic utensils. Not what we expected at all. Our room was rudimentary but comfortable especially since this was an extremely cold night. If we need a place to stay the night again we would do it again, but I would not recommend this establishment if you're looking for an experience.

We stayed in the Firehouse Suite with the king sized bed. The room is located above the Rain Spa on Market street so we constantly heard their music starting at 8am. You have to enter via the parking lot and it's a flight of wooden stairs outside. The suite was spacious but the shower-head definitely needs to be replaced in the bathroom. For the price I'd probably stay someplace more upscale. Definitely a nice location with access to all the shops and restaurants

Very disappointing food, sloppy service. A pot pie delivered swimming in so much sauce it looked like soup. Lying atop its large biscuit was a huge serving spoon. I requested a tablespoon (and was brought a small soup spoon). A fork would have been inadequate. My companion's salmon salad turned out to be greens with some tiny specks of overcooked salmon. Coffee was delivered overflowing into double napkins atop a pool of coffee on the saucer. I requested a replacement. Flies plagued us the entire meal. An awful, and expensive, lunch. We will not return.

What a fabulous place! We both had the turkey pot pie which was absolutely heavenly. It was served in a bowl with large pieces of turkey and a creamy white sauce that had plenty of veggies. On top was a very large cheese biscuit. Neither of us finished it. We also ordered the loaded homemade potato chips served with sour cream. There was a large portion of these that I was delighted to be able to take home to enjoy later. The atmosphere was incredible. You had your choice of many rooms to dine. This is a must when in Rhinebeck!

In general staff is friendly and efficient. I had the Dutch pot pie, biscuit was a little hard for my taste. The pot pie itself was good. For me I do not like dark meat, but that's just me. My guests enjoyed their meals. Our waitress was a delight. John Haight

We stayed in the Delamater House which is two blocks from the Beekman. Check-in is at the Beekman and then you walk or drive over to the House. The House is set on a campus with other accommodations and is probably about 150 years old. We stayed in a room upstairs. There is a downstairs sitting area which is nicely furnished and renovated. Our room clearly had last been updated over 40 years ago, with a "boob" light on the ceiling, a cracked sink, worn woodwork and a stained carpet. The highlight was a sign over the window which stated "emergency exit," an exit onto a sloped roof. In any case, the window wouldn't open, but I suppose in an emergency, you could smash the window and go flying off the roof. Rhinebeck is a very nice town and hotel is centrally located and in walking distance of everything. The breakfast, which was included, is the sort of breakfast you get at the cookie-cutter hotels along Route 95 to Florida, completely undistinguished. I thought the price at $300, including taxes, seemed a bit high, but maybe I was paying for the location.

Awesome landmark Inn Oldest Inn in The US Beer was cold Nice folks Cozy New England feel inn Only looked around and hit the bar Beer was cold Must see!

We ate dinner here and loved everything about the service and food. Side salads, braised lamb shank meal and perfectly cooked pan roasted salmon with glasses of wine.... Great! Dessert too... apple tart and crème brûlée... oh my gosh, we had delicious meals! Thank you and loved sitting in the outdoor glassed area.

Definitely a nice glimpse into the past. The building gives the colonial feel with its wood plank (creaky) floors, low tavern ceilings and history of pre-revolutionary times. We went to eat there as a novelty for this historical site. I see some negative reviews posted mostly because of service. Our party experienced a longer than normal wait just to get a server to come over to take our order after we were seated. We had to ask random employees walking by a few times to get us a waiter. But, aside from service, we enjoyed the food. I thought their French Onion soup was one of the best I ever had. Everyone else in our party loved their dishes too. Our waitress was nice and accommodating. The host could have been a bit more cheerful when seating us. Still worth the wait and a nice view into the past.

We had a great stay at Beekman-Arms in part thanks to the concierge, Ryan, whose customer service was superb. We were initially in a first floor oom in one of the Delamater Inn buildings and the ceiling had very little soundproofing so we could hear everything above us. Ryan found us a second floor room and was incredibly kind about it all. That room was perfect, quiet, beautiful. The continental breakfasts were very satisfying, and we had good meals at the tavern. We would definitely stay there again.

Stopped in for lunch. Food was delicious. We had a tomato cheese soup, salad special and tavern burger. Smoked bacon was on point. Ambiance is spectacular. History everywhere.

We had a delightful lunch outside on the lawn. The servers were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our wine and shrimp salad and turkey panini. Lovely grounds and perfect lunch!

Ryan at the front desk was friendly and super helpful. Our room, in a separate building, was clean and well maintained. I cannot speak for all the rooms as they are in several buildings. Our party was in three buildings and everyone was happy. They are one of two hotels in the immediate area but treat you like they have to earn it every day. Yes the continental breakfast is not a culinary experience but if you want that, walk 50 yards to the bread place.

Fancy dining areas yet some rooms are casual. Food is hit or miss - usually a hit. The menu used to change often and since I haven't been back in a while, I'm not sure. We used to go frequently because we lived half a mile from "The Beek." Back in the day (lol) they had an enormous Sunday brunch which we frequented, always with our three young children. We've moved out of the area and have been to many other "historic" dining establishments, but none compare to the old time charm as this one. You can almost feel the ghosts of past diners in the library room. Just go, have a taste and see for yourself!

We stayed at Beekman 11/18. Which was our anniversary. Very disappointed. First room had a very musty smell in hallway leading up to 2nd floor room. I have asthma. I inquired at the front desk about changing the room. Was told 'You never told us about your allergies'. If it's musty it's mold. Manager changed the room. Second room tv didn't work. My husband had to work at it to make it work. But in the morning it stopped working. I attempted to take a shower but couldn't figure out the instructions on the wall to get the shower to work. Contacted front desk and I received a laugh from clerk. Not a 'we'll get maintenance over to help you. I just gave up. We will not be going back to this place again.

The elementary school girls working the hostess stand were kinda rude. Went in for a beer and fries at the bar but apparently I needed a reservation for a pint.

Whole dinner was subpar. Party of 4 and no one was satisfied with their meals. Only one was bad enough to send back, which was the prime rib - couldn't even cut through with the knife and was completely cold. We all left still hungry and upset. $200 dinner - total disappointment. As locals, We will never be returning.

The beds / mattress here are horrible and cause incredible pain. The mattresses of very low quality, very hard, springs are felt when you turn and sleep on your side. I tossed and turned all night. I woke up in pain in the middle of the night. The next morning I barely could move my back. And was in pain for two days. They need to be replaced. I woke up stressed out because I didn't get any sleep and was exhausted the next day: I was also placed in a back building in a parking lot in room 42 that was a motel style and it was not attached to the Inn. It was pretty run down. And musty. Laminate floors made of a cheap material to look like wood. This stand alone building is bizarre and I do not recommend anyone stay in it. Also, when we went to get coffee the next morning in the lobby of the inn, the woman working the desk never once said hello to us or good morning. She stood there in silence behind the desk. Rhinebeck is a beautiful town, and I think this in his writing on the coattails of his reputation and that's why it gets booked, however the whole place needs to be renovated, while keeping the history and charm.

We had a great stay with our bicycling group. The staff were incredibly accommodating to our group and allowed us to use their facility for several gatherings. The atmosphere took us back in time.

Had a large group for lunch, everyone enjoyed their food which were large portions. Amazing and friendly service from the waitstaff

Spent the weekend and "upgraded" to a king room (#46). This room is separate from the hotel proper, and is accessed by a flight of stairs via either parking lot or street front stairs. It is over a spa/salon, which allowed us to hear their thumping music when they opened, and their parties held after hours. The room itself, while spacious, was in a sad state. Torn wallpaper, windows that leaked cold air (and it was 16 deg. F), blinds that didn't work, and furniture from the 60s, a large closet with 5 whole hangers. The TV was the size of a computer monitor, while modern upgrades like more plugs, adapters for USB plugins, etc., were not available. The stairwell going to the street (10-12 steps), did not have a railing, which I consider unsafe (it meets code?). The doors had cheap locks that look to be easily defeated. The bathroom setup was strange: tub/shower with toilet and sink on one side, with a sink and long vanity on an opposite wall on the other side of the room. There is a step-down from the toilet area, so if you're not careful, you could end up going over the railing of the steps. We experienced life over a span/salon. In the mornings we heard their incessant thumping music, while at night (after hours), we heard their loud partying. This room comes with a reserved parking spot, which was often occupied by other cars, and to sum it up, the front desk staff didn't offer one apology for any of this! "We can't do anything about the cars" (oh no? How about at least a parking cone or a sign threatening towing!). "We don't own the salon" (ok, but how about contacting them and letting them know some folks have complained!). We were charged $350/night. Maybe that's normal for the area, but I would have expected that some money was spent on the rooms, and training staff.

1. Staff excellent 2.Rooms noisest I have ever stayed in this is why it is only three stars. Takes a lot for me to not sleep bec of the noise however this hotel was abysmal for sleeping. We were in the main hotel on the second floor. The beds are so creaky as well again not good. Heat omg the heat is controlled for the whole hotel not a fan of that. Room air conditioners that are so old. Do not stay in the summer. In the fall and winter manageable but not awesome. 3. location is awesome to tour Hudson Valley and Rhinebeck. 4. Restaurant within the hotel was excellent and we had great service. 5. Parking - they were paving our whole stay so we had to park a few blocks away, not a fan of that at all.

We stopped in for a few local beers around lunch. The inn is dark and cozy and makes you feel a part of its long history. We did not have lunch, but our bar companion had a wonderful looking BLT and fries. As the kitchen sources chefs from the nearby Culinary Institute of American, we were told that some of the chefs are better than others. Looks like this one is one of the good ones. If you don't want a meal, at least stop by to drink in some history...see what I did there?

The food was very good, the service excellent, but the real reason to go in my view is the incredible history of the place. It opened in 1766! And has been in continuous operation ever since, making it the oldest such establishment in the country. and it feels like it--in a good way.

BEWARE that what you see on the website may not be what you get when you arrive! My wife and I booked what looked like a beautiful room with fireplace, couch, comforters, but what we got looked more like a room at the YMCA. No fireplace, no couch, plain white sheets on the bed, and when we asked for a comforter it seemed we were bothering the lady at the Front desk! It took me 4 weeks after calling manager, director, then business owner's company, to get a satisfactory response. So.. beware!

The worst place to eat in rhinebeck as a local this place has fallen off over priced garbage!!! The prime rib came out ice cold and was so tough I could not cut with a steak knife !

Absolutely quintessential 18th century restaurant/hotel. Gorgeous atmosphere, attentive but unobtrusive service, outstanding food. Absolute must if you're visiting the Hudson Valley

I looooved this experience. If you love historical inns, history and revolutionary buff, then this inn and restaurant is for you. It is the oldest tavern in America and has do much historical character and charm that part of the experience of dining is taking in, admiring all of the items and decor inside the tavern. The food is also decent which is regular tavern food and priced well. I also stayed at the inn for a night which I also thought was unique since it's also the oldest inn in America. Make sure to look out for good deals or rates to cut the cost on some of yours expenses. The rooms are quaint also with character charm and quirks which all have different design patterns. The nice part about staying at the inn Is it's on the Main Street and you can leave car parked without having to drive too far.

Cool venue. Food is ok. In December 2022, very under staffed. Staff treated us like their lack of staff was the fault of the customer rather than management's. This place needs a new business manager.

Stayed here for New Year's Eve weekend a few weeks ago and was totally dissatisfied with the management!! No hot water Fri night, sat night and sun!! Complained to management and they said they wld take care of it and never did!! Was told they wld comp us for some of the $600 stay also but called them repeatedly and they never returned our calls!! Do not stay here unless you want to take ice cold showers your whole stay while paying top dollar for nothing!

Grew up in the area and visited here often for food and drink but never stayed. Checked in on a January Friday late afternoon. Could not find parking. Woman on phone at the desk was not helpful. Wound up having to park in adjacent bank lot and eventually moved the car later. Parking lot requires a short walk. Stayed on third floor of main inn. Room was adequate. Heat ( and air conditioning) for the main inn is controlled from main floor. I was told to call if it got too cold or too warm. Husband arrived on Saturday morning. The coldest one of the year thus far--remember there's a short walk. Coffee available in lobby until 10:00. He got in at 10:05. No coffee for him even when asked but the help had it! In fact woman at the desk made sure we heard her say that to the help! Room clean but did see ants. Nicest person was the evening desk clerk, Chase. Our restaurant waitress on Saturday was also quite nice. Restaurant food was quite good and I'd recommend it. Front desk workers need to be a lot better. Wouldn't stay again.

Made a reservation for 7 at 6 pm on Saturday. They were very pleasant on the phone and went above and beyond to secure a good table for us. We got there a few minutes early and we were greeted with nothing but smiles as they scurried about to get the table ready. Our server was pleasant but not overbearing. Water AND lemons were delivered timely. Drinks came right after. Food was on point. All seven of us enjoyed our meals. Haven't n here in years but we were all pleasantly surprised as to the continued top experience.

From Rhinebeck and sorely disappointed. It has been a while since I went there and my expectations were too high. We waited 20 minutes before anyone came over to ask our drink order. Then they took our beer order but neglected to take our kids drink orders and walked off. Our kids were thirsty and saw a server bring water to the next table over (we had cups) and walked off. We asked for olive oil for our bread (and it came out in a bowl with our entrees). Then we ordered mussels (they were very good) and a shrimp cocktail (so so). We then ordered two kids meals. My kids are amazing eaters and my daughter refused to eat her pasta with sauce. She didn't like the sauce. We ordered the stuffed shrimp (my husband said the shrimp were good) but everything else he couldn't eat it was so terrible. I ordered the spicy pasta salmon. There was sooooo much sauce I had to dump it on a plate and could barely eat it. No flavor. Not once did a server come to check on us or ask how we were doing. I had just recommended it for a couple friend staying in the area soon and had to rescind it. Go elsewhere

Seriously sad to have to write this, but the treatment received at this place Monday afternoon was mind blowing. We went in for lunch and the first thing that happened was the hostess appeared annoyed to see people. After saying hello and getting an annoyed, short, 'hi' in response from this charming hostess we asked for a table for 2. When asked to be seated outside she said abruptly, 'You will have to wait for that'. So we said, 'That's ok, any idea what the wait will be? ' Now she was really pissed (not sure why as these are normal questions for a hostess) and says super condescendingly,'15 minutes. As you can SEE (gestures with her hand nastily toward the window) there are people eating now. I have to wait for them to finish, then I have to wait for them to leave, then I have to clean up the table and prepare it for you. So what do you want to do?' That was when we left. Ironically there were 5-8 outside tables not in use, so to ask to be seated out there was not crazy since one of those tables could have been used. This happened on Monday, November 7th around 12:45 in the afternoon. This rude, disrespectful, poor excuse of a person needs a reminder in common decency and how to treat people. The Beekman Arms should be embarrassed that this is how they were represented. It was honestly the most bizarre experience I have ever encountered when going out to eat. With all the amazing places in Rhinebeck to eat, The Beekman Arms definitely won't be missed by me. I will never go back and will do my best to spread the word to others to patronize the other amazing eateries the village has where you are treated appropriately and with respect. There is no acceptable excuse for the treatment we received on Monday.

Our photo crew was booked here to shoot in the area. Upon seeing the exterior I was excited to be staying at such an historic inn and looked forward to its enjoying it's old world charm. Upon checking in we were literally sent packing. A map was shown to us and it was explained repeatedly that while we were booked at "the Beekman Arms" our rooms were actually 2 blocks away. We walked through the the streets with our luggage in a stunned stupor to find what looked like an army barracks. Moldy smelling and beige. Essentially motel rooms with 4 poster beds and automatic fireplaces, and NO charm. Classic bait and switch.

We didn't stay at the inn but had our anniversary dinner there. Terrible service. Really...it was terrible. The food was good, though. Very small portion for $40. Plopping it on a large plate certainly didn't help, either. However, it was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. But the service was the worst we experienced in a very long time.

Has been going steadily downhill for years. Stayed in an overpriced dumpy room. The hotel is in need of a major renovation. I don't generally post negative reviews but I think people coming to Rhinebeck expect and deserve better than this.
