Hancock House Hotel,

137 East Front Street, Hancock, NY 13783

"We ended up having car trouble, called the hotel in the middle of the night, and they were SO accommodating to allow us to check in so late at night just for the night. Could not have been happier with our spur of the moment stay!"

"Stayed at the Hancock House Hotel for one evening during a motorcycle trip to see the foliage in the Catskills. The room was clean, the bathroom was clean, water pressure was good, and the shower water was nice and hot. The room also had enough outlets and USB ports to charge devices. The only nitpick I had was the furniture was a little dated and looked worn. The room rate was $155 ($170 with taxes). We also ate in the bar for dinner. I had a bacon cheeseburger that was delicious (cooked to perfection and quality beef). We also had breakfast in the restaurant although breakfast is not complimentary. The attached pictures we took at sunrise. All in all, a very nice stay and the foliage in that area was just stunning the days we were there."

"I’m giving this place 5 stars for one reason, the prime rib. I didn’t stay here. I didn’t think the beer selection was that good, but the staff were nice and the prime rib was amazingly good value. $30- for the biggest slice of tender, tasty rib (no bone), that I have had on the East coast. So good."

"Tried to have dinner in the bar area. They were kind of busy. We sat at the bar which had all kinds of beer bottles, glasses and dirty dishes left on the bar. There was a waitress handling the tables and booths and one bartender who seem to be working in low gear or slow motion. Understanding that it was kind of busy, we sat patiently and waited for the bartender to first of all clear the dishes from the bar, but also to wait on us. We waited at least 10 minutes, maybe a little longer, as she struggled to pour a draft beer and four sodas. She never even acknowledged that we were there waiting. I don’t believe she even walked around the to other side of the bar to see if any of the other customers needed anything. A guy came in after us and sat a few chairs down and she waited on him and poured him a drink. At that point we decided to leave because it had been at least 10 minutes and nobody had even acknowledged we were there to let us know that they would be with us shortly or anything at all. Very disappointed. I am not planning on going back there."

"We love the Hancock House Hotel and it is always a "must stop (or stay)" when we are in the area. My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night. We sat at a high top in the bar and had wonderful service from Sheri. (They also have dining room seating in their beautiful dining room) The food was OUTSTANDING. I had the meatloaf dinner, and it was so fresh it was falling off the fork. My wife had the pot roast and raved about it as well. Highly recommended!"
