This property was very clean and smelled great (they use a diffuser in the lobby). The beds are amazing with a comfortable mattress and soft sheets/comforter which made for a cocoon-like sleeping environment. The continental breakfast was simple but fresh and delicious. The location was right across from Vassar College which made it extremely convenient during Reunion Weekend. I highly recommend this place.

Wonderful stay at The Heartwood.

Front desk was very friendly and courteous. Cleaning staff was helpful and did a wonderful job servicing the room. Coffee was available at 7 am, breakfast at 7:30. We would have preferred coffee a little earlier, however there was an in-room espresso option but at an up charge. We had the continental breakfast, offerings were limited but very good quality. There was an option to order off a menu at an extra charge. Wait staff was friendly but a few times a little stressed and short with the patrons.

Great option

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.
