Since others may discuss pillows and breakfast, I'll talk a bit about how I appreciate this hotel…read moreas brief corrective to the sinister pseudo-environmentalism that looms over the Hudson Valley and indeed the tri-state area. The tourism, real estate and media industries and the government sell a narrative of trees, lakes and hiking. All this can be yours for the low price of $3 million for a second home. Or you can stay in a hotel and enjoy a convenient 25-minute trip from a highway. The actual locations you're trying to visit tend not to have hotels. I'm not a zoning expert but I have seen how impossible it is to find train-friendly hotels. The Holiday Inn Express is reachable from the Peekskill train station. While some maps will indicate a 1-mile walk on a some unappealing looking roads, but the riverfront waterway will get you there. Let's call a 17-minute walk. Travel light! There's outstanding waterfront scenery at Charles Point Park. There appear to be two restaurants walkable from the hotel. I walked to the village of Peekskill but normal people won't want to do that (not a bad Uber ride presumably). On more hotel-specific factors, the shower pressure was excellent, the room was far bigger than usual and all the workers were friendly and helpful.

The garlic shrimp was also enjoyable. That said, every time I visit, my food seems to arrive cold, which has become a recurring issue. The shrimp crostini was a disappointment--I was expecting toasted bread with a little crunch, but it was very soggy from the sauce. There are definitely some standout items on the menu, but the inconsistent food temperature keeps this from being a higher-rated experience for me.

Lots of issues here. I will start with the good:…read more The waitress was very nice as was the additional help. Now everything else: We ordered the cheese croquets. This might be just the taste, but nobody at our table liked them. Also - and this seems to be the specialty of the house - they were not particularly warm. We also ordered the nachos with the brisket chili. The plate was huge and the nachos were pretty good. Unfortunately, the chili was largely a rumor. Now for dinner. Oh boy. First the staff, including our waitress, brought us food for another table. We didn't realize it right away, because the other table ordered a couple of items we did. Then we did get our food. We had a couple of the brisket grilled cheeses. These were tasty, but again, with precious little meat in them, and not hot. We had a smash burger order - COLD. Two mushroom truffle burgers - also cold and one was severely undercooked. We were going to a show so we suffered with it. The fries were a hit by the way. I ordered the salt caramel gelato. I've had similar many times. This was overly salty. I was very excited to go here, but unfortunately, quality flew the coop at Birdsall.
