I had a great stay at The Hotel Cassadaga. We had the deluxe room and it was perfect for the three of us gals. The ac worked very great! I actually slept in my sweater and sweatpants. Beds were good. The hotel is older, but it’s beautiful.The staff were helpful, friendly, and great. The restaurant was good. Food was really good. Karaoke was a blast. We did readings, I had Marie and she was amazing! She was spot on about a lot of things. I’ll definitely be back.

Hotel Cassadaga is pure charm. I was surprised with a stay here for my birthday and had an unforgettable time. We checked in, explored the quirky, mystical little town, and had an incredible dinner. The piano player kicked off the night with some live tunes, and then karaoke took over — we had a blast. Slept great, woke up to a peaceful morning, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast before heading out. This place is such a hidden gem.

Staying at Hotel Cassadega completed my experience with a Psychic reading by Angela. She was full of energy, insight and connections with my favorite people. Went back next day for an additional reading with her. Best part was Phillip.... as a morning person sitting in the "lobby" he made coffee and kept a watchful eye in case I needed anything while quietly going around making his rounds. Like a guardian angel

Came for dinner and a reading. Totally awesome hotel from the 1920’s. Not a lot of parking. Sinatra’s restaurant has good food. Sometimes they have live music with talented musicians. It is supposed to be haunted, I never saw evidence of that but it definitely has a vibe. Cassadaga is an awesome place to visit.

No amenities, quiet, unplugged. No tvs in the rooms, take a keurig if you want coffee before or after 9 am.

A great place to have spent our anniversary. Hotel staff was downright amazing! The fact that they told us to call through them instead of online for cheaper reservations was incredibly honest. Also, for those looking for a spooky stay, this place is a must. We have already looked into a second reservation that lines up with resturaunt dinner hours. Cannot wait to stay again!
