Hotel
Below is a recommended list of hotels if you'd like to stay in Hudson. Hudson is a wonderful town with lots of things to do. It is located about a 20 minute drive from the wedding venue, and the welcome party will be in Hudson. We highly recommend booking early, but do note that some hotels are not yet available to book (e.g., Rivertown Lodge). There are also several airbnbs in Hudson and near the wedding venue. Please let us know if you're interested in booking an airbnb and we can let you know if shuttle service will be provided to that location. In general, shuttle service will only be provided to and from the downtown area of Hudson and the Holiday Inn/Hilton Spark in Coxsackie, so please make sure you are able to get to a shuttle location if staying elsewhere.

Flight
Albany Airport is the closest airport and is a half hour to hour drive to accommodations. You can take Air Train to the Amtrak station to get to Hudson, or use ride share. If flying into NYC and not renting a car, we recommend Newark, then taking rideshare or train to Penn Station to catch the Amtrak to Hudson. If driving, NYC airports are all approximately a 2-2.5 hour drive to Hudson.
Train
If you are coming from elsewhere on the east coast and would rather train than fly, we recommend taking the train to Penn Station to catch the Amtrak to Hudson, which takes about 2 hours and departs several times per day.
