Hi, I just wanted to get a few recommendations for hotels near Hamilton. We have stayed at the Hampton in New Hadtford, The Artful Dodger in Clinton, and once in the on-campus center. But since things full up fast on certain weekends, I wondered what other people recommend…
Since you haven’t tried Utica yet: Hotel Utica is the most intriguing hotel in the area. If you go online you should see what I mean. The Radisson is a nice conventional hotel that also has an interesting Utica ambience.
We had good luck getting very cheap rates at the Radisson in Utica via priceline.com. If you like Vietnamese food, Pho Mekong is within walking distance. Good, super cheap Pho.
For families looking looking for a fun activity in the area, the Adirondack Scenic Railroad out of Utica is one of the best attractions anywhere. Mostly a summer and fall thing, I believe. (The website, unfortunately, is one of the least helpful I’ve seen.)
The Horned Dorset Inn, with its associated destination French restaurant, would have distinct appeal for a certain type of traveler.
