Meinungen BEEKMAN ARMS AND DELAMATER INN Rhinebeck

Nansi at the front desk was very helpful. An overall great experience!

Nice historic inn to stay at. Surprisingly hard to get the shampoo/conditioner/lotion out of the bottles. The room radiator was whistling a lot in the middle of the night. Complimentary breakfast was included - nothing too crazy in terms of variety but you won't go hungry!

Awful experience. Me and my grandchildren visited Rhinebeck for the beauty of the quaint little town, and part of our lovely journey was supposed to be this so-called “oldest inn in america”. When i checked in, the manager Corrinne, asked, “Are you bringing those ones to the island” as she pointed to my grandson. Very unprofessional behavior coming from a manager. As i walked away, she doubled down on the joke, asking my grandson, “Does he molest you?” I did not find this sense of humor funny, and my last name may be Epstein but we are unrelated. Unprofessional and discriminatory!

Do not eat here!! Me and my wife put in reservations to have an anniversary dinner, and the host seated us. Our food came to us cold, so we asked for the manager, who introduced herself as Corrinne. She rudely grabbed our plate and gossiped to another employee about my wife’s appearance. for context, my wife is on the heavier side (340 lbs) and she ordered two meals, which Corrinne found amusing for some reason. I do not recommend eating here, unless you want to be verbally abused while dining.

The manager, corrinne, was extremely impolite to the staff right in front of our table. the food was subpar and we were seated next to an elderly couple that was coughing all night. we went in with reservations and it took them 35 minutes after we were supposed to be seated to serve us. would not recommend.

Run down, bad food. Last time I stayed at an old rundown Victorian B&B in an emergency at least it was only $70. This rundown place charges four star prices for absolutely nothing.

Pros:
- Amazing location, except for the part where you have to lug your bags several blocks down to where you are actually staying.
- Friendly staff, though they told us our room would be ready soon so my husband stuck around waiting for it when it actually took more than 3 hours. Waste of his day.
- Gorgeous historic restaurant (though the food is inedible slop, I can't remember the last time I've ever sent back 90% of my food and they didn't even comp it)
- Free sherry in the room (though it's in an unsealable old crystal container so we didn't touch it obviously)
- Fantastic water pressure (except when you bump into the shower handle repeatedly and scald your skin with nowhere to go in the tiny shower)

Cons:
- Restaurant food is slop. Worse than IHOP. The turkey pot pie was basically starchy Campbell soup with uncooked vegetables. The potatoes were actually hard and crunchy. Inedible. I'm not sure uncooked potatoes are even safe to eat. Zero offer to comp the meal even though we sent all of it back uneaten.
- Rooms are extremely run down. Chipped paint everywhere, blinds that don't work, broken sink glued back together. Bizarre shower handle mechanism that I accidentally bumped in the tiny shower and scalded my skin. My husband just walked out of the shower as I was writing this and told me he did the same, so I can only assume this is a common occurrence. Dangerous with the scalding temperatures of their shower.
- Hard beds.

Love going there for dinner and drinks. Oldest working inn in the USA I'm told. Food has always been good and the atmosphere in the bar area is very cozy. The fireplace in the lobby adds a special warmth if you're waiting for a table during the cold weather season. Stayed there for a weekend recently. Comfortable room and easy walking distance to a lot of fun places. Books up fast in the Summer, so plan ahead.

Great place for lunch or dinner.

I stayed two nights at Beekman Arms on November 21 and enroute back to Vermont on November 27, 2023.
Beekman Arms was perfectly located off I-87 South and the
room (25) is my favorite. This Inn will be my 'go-to-Inn' when
traveling the Hudson Valley. The service by your staff and the
Inn's amenities were top-notch. The food quality was excelllent; Miles, your excellent-waitstaff, served dinner both nights. He
told me he has been with Beekman Arms for five years.
So, I love the Town of Rhinbeck, and will return soon as I can!

A true hidden gem.

Historic Inn has great location, great dining and great ambiance. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Wonderful experience all around! TWO THUMBS UP!

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.

We had lunch at this historic structure. That would be enough for a fun lunch. But the food was great. I had a yummy arugula salad with cranberries and apples. We can’t wait to go back next
