"The Beekman Arms is a must visit location in Rhinebeck. Incredible history, and the library, entrance, and bar have great artifacts and character. I think they could make some better design choices in those spaces - for example it’s debatable if they need a tv screen in the bar, or at least more discretely hung but that’s a matter of taste.
Unfortunately the accommodation was really poor. If you are unfamiliar, the hotel listing is actually a network of many buildings in the area that the Beekman & Delamater buildings are found. So you may think you are staying in a historic building to learn at check in that you are in a building several hundred yards away that are more modern (last 50 years et).
To add insult to injury - these other rooms are terrible. Damp smell, curtains from the 70s or 80s(?), dark, drab painted rooms, grimy furniture, a bathroom tub that leaked water (we showered only), pillows that were dusty, WiFi that never connected, it was shocking to see such outdated and run down rooms.
I really hope someone from the hotel reads this - for the cost of 1-2 nights accommodation and some thoughtful design choices you could update these rooms. As custodians of a historic property, the Beekman name deserves better.
For now, I’d only stay here if you ran out of options, including nearby towns."
