The Hancock House is located in a small town along the Delaware River. It was built recently but the outside resembles the original Hancock House from the early 1900's. The rooms are spacious, clean and quiet which is all I really want. The front rooms have a balcony overlooking the main street--but since there is minimal traffic, that's not an... More

We recently spent a night at the Hancock House Hotel while visiting a friend in the area. The lobby was very cozy and check-in was quick and easy. I had called several days earlier to reserve the room and found the staff friendly and accomodationg. We were in a double queen room on the third floor overlooking the main street.... More

We had the misfortune of our car breaking down on Rt. 17 just past the town of Hancock, luckily AAA was able to send a tow to us within 30 mins, promptly towed us back to Hancock, the service station was able to accomodate us at 3pm on Good Friday, it did require an overnight stay at The Hancock House...

We often get stranded motorists at the hotel. We make every effort to help them and lessen the stress an accident or breakdown can cause. It was our pleasure to welcome this guest, and we also agree with her about the comforters! We are in the process of upgrading ALL our comforters to lovely Chenille bedspreads which will not only...

I was traveling east back to Orange County one evening and I had passed several billboards advertising the Hancock House restaurant. Two waitresses were working that evening, but when they saw me approach the dining room, they darted into the kitchen and stayed there. Having sat down, I waited about ten minutes and then walked toward the kitchen door. One... More

After researching the circumstances behind the review written by Mr. Ray S, I came to find that he came in almost 15 minutes after the dining room had closed. Our Tap Room stays open an hour after the restaurant and the staff did offer to accommodate him there, but he insisted they serve him in the restaurant. They did seat... More

Several years ago, my husband and I stayed at the Hancock House Hotel while visiting family in the area. We recently went back, and found that things were not quite up to the same standard. In particular, the heating/cooling system did not seem to work very effectively - it was very stuffy and hot, even though we turned the A/C... More

We chose this property based upon its location relative to a memorial service we were attending, and were very pleased with the room, restaurant and the thoughtful staff. The free breakfast is homemade - not like popular chain free breakfast-like meal.

We chose this location becauce it was the half way point between friends that live in 2 different locations in New York State. It was perfect. Everything was right in one location. Room, restaurant and pub all under one roof. Rooms were very clean and loved the outside balcony. Food was good and the free breakfast was an added surprise.... More

We went up-state for a funeral, and the hotel/motel choices are limited. When I found Hancock House I booked the handicapped room, and what a pleasant surprise . The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean, the beds comfortable.....and they had decent free wi-fi. Add to that a great free breakfast ! I would visit again, but this... More

In the last few years that my daughter's been to sleep away camp, we've needed a place to stay overnight. To be honest, the places that we've tried haven't been that great. I think the Hancock is the best of the choices in the area. I gave it four stars instead of three because it's above average for the area.... More
