We stayed at the Bessborough for Rock the River from August 14 until the 18th. Our room faced the river and had center view of the stage. For an older hotel the room was a great size and clean. Some of the wall paper was peeling but other than that the room was in good condition. The gym was spacious and the pool and hot tub were functional. Both great spaces. The highlight of our stay was the staff. From the doormen, to the front desk staff, to housekeeping. All were professional and courteous. You certainly felt welcomed by staff and any requests were promptly attended to. A shout out to Laura at the front desk. She was awesome! This is an expensive hotel it if you are looking for a premium stay this is your place. Convenient to everything and steps away from the beautiful river bank walkways. No better way to take in a concert on the grounds especially when the weather is not great, than from a river view room. Ask for room 430 or 429.
