The owners did such a nice job at renovating this adorable motel. The rooms are very cozy and comfortable- pale green paint and wainscotting, white-washed ceilings and other stylish touches. They have really thought of every little detail to make the rooms special- a light up mirror in the bathroom, retro-looking fridge, nice wood and tile floors, complimentary local yogurt and granola- even a portable ironing board and iron are provided. Improvements? they went a little overboard on the 'antler' theme (although you could see that was just their way of having whimsical touches). Could have used a chair in the room. The bed- way too soft for our taste. But everything else was really nice and comfy. And the restaurant was really special- amazing food, very intimate setting. I highly recommend for a quick visit or an extended stay!

I was looking forward to staying at The Alander, after reading the reviews. However, the place was not was I expected. I knew that we had to electronically register as there is no reception desk. I proceeded to complete the registration but the internet was poor. I had filled out most of it, but it was slow. I should have used the wifi, but thought I would just continue.
Then, someone came out of one of the guest rooms, and ask me if I needed help. This man did not identify himself - and I assumed he was a guest. I told him I was okay and could do it myself. He persisted to try and help and seemed annoyed that I wasn't engaging with him. I later realized that he might have been a staff person. After I finished registering, he stood by me, and then gave me the passcode for the room. It was an odd interaction. I would have preferred a warm welcome from a staff person - and a sharing of his name. I would have been more inclined to accept help.

The room itself was disappointing, and felt damp. The towels were dingy, and there was a table filled with things to purchase. The floor was dirty, and the bathroom wasn't clean either - dark spots in the tub, and rusty faucets. The worst part was the toilet - it was not secured to the floor and could be moved around! (room 1)
The water was free of charge and a bag of granola. I learned later that there was some yogurt in the fridge we could use. Overall, disappointed. (I could offer more, but I am running out of characters!)

This is an awesome little place run by a very hospitable couple, close to some great hikes, cideries, breweries, and more. The king room we had was well-appointed and very comfortable. Loved the outdoor courtyard areas, where you can light fires and just chill. Really appreciated the complimentary breakfast--not only is there good coffee, local yogurt, and homemade granola in the rooms, but there were fixins for egg-cheese-sausage sandwiches in the common lounge area. We did a late checkout for $20 and it was worth it. Highly recommend, and I'd definitely return!

A lovely place. Lots of cute amenities. The linens and towels were outstanding. I really appreciated that it’s all one level (I hate stairs) and one can park at or near one’s room. Lots of great grass for walking dogs and outdoor seating areas. I would only say that my room, a “junior” was
Quite tiny so I would not advise it for more than one person as there was no chair or dresser —just the bed and a small bedside table and small fridge and precious little floor space. Also someone did a really bad paint job in there (room 9) which was odd because everything was so new and trying to be upscale.

Don't get fooled by any negative reviews you read, as my stay at The Alander was one of the best. From arrival to departure, the staff at The Alander went out of their way to make my stay wonderful. I informed the staff the morning I would be there that I would get there late. Check-in was seamless as they provided a code for your room, and the lights were turned on when I arrived. The cozy room had a cabin feel, a king bed, ample space, and plenty of amenities. Fresh ground local coffee, homemade granola, and yogurt were just a few of the small touches that set The Alander apart from other independently owned lodging I've used. The next day, when I was out, housekeeping personally texted me to ask if I needed anything. WiFi ran smoothly, and though I didn't take advantage of the firepit, next time I could definitely see sitting fireside roasting marshmallows! The Alander was great, and I certainly will stay there next time I'm in the area.

Great hotel, exactly what I needed. I was just up for the one night and raced over at Lime Rock in the morning. Thanks to the Alander, I got a great night's sleep and a quick ride over to the track in the morning. It was perfect, easy, comfortable, and all the love and effort Reid and Jason put into it clearly shows in all the small touches.

The attached restaurant was great too. I had the rigatoni bolognese and it was a perfect portion and prepared so well. I look forward to staying there again the next time I come up for a track day. Thank you!

I wish I had read the google review below before booking my two-night stay. Unfortunately, it seems many reviews artificially inflate this sub-par motel into something resembling a “boutique hotel.”

\"Motel 6 quality hotel being marketed as a Boutique hotel.
Review of The Alander
Reviewed Oct 31, 2025 via mobile

\" To call this hotel a boutique hotel is a disgrace. It was one of the worst hotels we have stayed in. After you book, you get a nice welcome text message but you soon realize it is a one way communication. We had booked two rooms. They send you a code to unlock the electronic keypad. They sent the code for only one room. There is no reception. So I tried to call the number, goes straight to VM. It says there is phone number AFTER you have checked in the room. Since we had access to one room, we went in and got the phone number and it went straight into the same VM. Finally the restaurant opened and someone there was able to get in touch with Heckle and Seckel to get us the code for the second room.
The bathtub was filthy. I have pictures. It was not stains, just dirty. The roof tiles had spots all over it. And they have the gall to suggest leaving a tip for the housekeeping.
This hotel looks like the hourly motel room trying to be presented as a boutique hotel.\"


I completely agree with their reviews, but unfortunately I read them too late, after already falling for this place.

My wife and I randomly picked The Alander because we needed a last minute escape after sadly losing our 16 year old dog. I cannot say enough about not just the courtesy, kindness, and efficiency of literally all staff we interacted with, but also how terrifically designed and clean the facilities are. The restaurant and bar attached are top notch as well, and hav eclearly become a destination spot for the local area. Reid, one of the owners, is a great conversationalist, and incredibly attentive to guest's needs. We encountered numerous guests who were also thoroughly impressed with the grounds and facilities and restaurant/bar. We will absolutely be returning. 5 stars.

A find on NY-22 in Copake

We very much enjoyed our stay!
The North Star restaurant is truly a STAR.
There is not a thing on the menu we would not order! Service perfect.
Our only complaint is the mattress was much too soft.
We would certainly return though if only for the North Star.
Met one of the owners who was delightful!
Hats off for the renovation that has been undertaken.

I was in the area for a wedding so only stayed for a brief overnight. Great communication by the owners. Room was large, charming, and clean. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area. One thing is to download directions to the hotel and how to get into your room prior to your arrival as cell service in the area is spotty. Once there, it is not a problem as they have excellent WiFi

The bathroom can definitely use some help. The checking process is not easy. The water collects in the tub and shower curtain is dirty. Lot to write. I suggest finding other place to stay.

A lovingly and beautifully restored old motel that now has a very European vibe. Real glasses! China mugs! An electric kettle! A French press coffee maker! And no Wal-Mart motel art! Loved the moose shower curtain. Definitely a gem here. Also: great wi-fi, comfortable bed, gratis granola and yogurt, and at least 4 sweetener choices!
The owners have done a fabulous job.

Great option on Route 22

Nicely updated motel with friendly staff, and a nice restaurant. Bonus that I could charge my EV overnight!

this beautiful little boutique hotel is clearly a passion project, and my partner and I had a wonderful time! every detail in the decor / food offerings / area guide was so thoughtful and very appreciated. I thoroughly recommend to all! Sad we didn’t have time to try the onsite restaurant, which looked totally delicious, or use the fire pits for roasting s’mores!

The Alander was exactly what my wife and I were looking for. We spent the day hiking and wanted a neat place to spend the night. The room and property had a very cool vibe. I'd definitely return, and recommend this place to others.

This was a fantastic choice to stay at for our weekend getaway, and I highly recommend it! The hotel was lovely, the staff was helpful, friendly, and wonderful at their job!

The only thing I would tell people visiting here is to be sure not to take a room facing the main road if you are a light sleeper. The traffic noise kept us up. I know that the hotel website says that they are updating the AC and heating system, but this hadn't been done in our room yet, and the small AC unit in the window was placed in just the wrong way so that it let in the humidity, and didn't quite cool the room.

It also rained the entire time we were visiting, so we didn't have a chance to sit by the campfire area, but it looked amazing!

Clearly, it’s a work in progress. The room was well stocked with amenities. The bed was just OK. Shower and bathroom good. The floor was not particularly clean, with sand and some small pebbles to step on. The outside of the property just looks like it needs an update. Worked out fine for me, as I am not especially particular.

I love Motel stays and this was a great one, there's a certain charm and feel I get from a motel. Property was in great condition, comfortable and a pleasure to stay in. All the practical experiences of a motel plus the comfort and convivences of a modern hotel. They were welcoming of us and our Dog and we really enjoyed our stay

I've considered staying here before and finally did. Very comfortable bed. Excellent bathroom with super hot water and great shower head. Goodies for purchase in the room were quite thoughtful. Complimentary French press coffee was perfect in the morning. Guessing rooms will continue to be updated over time (like window shades and removal of old AC wall units) but overall happy with my experience.

This place is a gem!

Some context, my boyfriend and I (23) are from an urban area and work brought us here for a quick trip. We both enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. We normally stay at chain hotels. With no chain hotels in reasonable driving distance from our destination we went with the Alander. We were out of our comfort zones and nervous.

As soon as we entered the room our anxiety quickly faded. The room was well maintained and clean. It had a very inviting home away from home feel. We ate at the North Star- the attached restaurant and the food was delicious. The staff were lovely. The owners value attention to detail and it shows! We will definitely be back.

Alander is a great place to stay. Room is spacious clean. Bed is comfortable and nice. Decor is over the top. Bathroom is neat and clean. Most of all the staff is accommodating, accessible and responsive to our request even it was late. Love the idea of promoting local products. Love the coffee! The restaurant North Star is superb food was great. Hopefully we can go back in spring. Despite the snowstorm we still enjoyed our stay.
