Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had another wonderful stay at the Roxbury. This time we chose the Digs Cottage and we were not disappointed…it was just spectacular! The salt water tank was certainly the focal point and so much fun to watch, but the entire cottage was full of amazing surprises and tasteful touches. The full kitchen was a plus and having multiple bedrooms to choose from was a decadent splurge. We stayed in Galileo’s Gate during our last stay and it was fabulous. Next will be the Faerie Forest ! I can’t say enough good things about the Roxbury. Imagination and creativity is evident throughout the entire property.

Hotel's Favourite
After feeling trapped during the worst of the pandemic, we desperately searched for a place that we felt safe AND still gave us a feeling of being far, far away… AND spoiled. We are incredibly grateful to have found The Roxbury Motel/ The Roxbury at Stratton Falls, its welcoming owners, Greg & Joe, and its warm & hardworking staff. We first visited in June of 2021. It was love at first sight. We have now completed 5 stays (in 10 rooms) in 1 year. I never imagined that I would feel the giddy excitement of visiting the same hotel so frequently BUT each stay is like Christmas morning! We anxiously look forward to discovering each of the MANY enchanting details in every new room. This is no cookie cutter hotel… no two rooms are alike! Luxurious whimsy is the law of the land. The Roxbury checked all of the necessary “boxes” for us: gorgeous surroundings (inside and out), magnificent & magical attention to details (inside and out), quality linens & bedding, wonderful toiletries AND beautiful pool & spa areas which will make you feel like you are at a far away resort. The Roxbury also addressed all of the new “must haves” that the days of covid added… excellent safety & cleanliness measures, separate exterior entrances to each room, windows that actually open to allow for fresh air into the rooms, a reservation system at each of the 3 spas that allows for private usage and the same reservation system for the pool area which prevents it from becoming crowded. We hope these things never change! Continental breakfast is included and ordered nightly via the website. I have read some reviews that prefer their “old” buffet style breakfast layout but honestly, for the current times, this method is the most sanitary. For those who need more, there is a wonderful café (The Watershed) up the “block” from the motel that offers baked goods, excellent coffees, teas, lattes AND a selection of breakfast options. We have stayed in every room category except for in the mansion. (That will be our next visit.) We have enjoyed each room category for different reasons. Each category has its own charms & benefits. I suggest exploring the website and choosing your room based on what you want from your stay. The original motel offers a close proximity to 2 spas, a magnificent mountain view outdoor living space, access to a wonderful deck with a firepit and comfortable seating. In this section, The Shagadellic room offers a full kitchen for those who want that flexibility. Genie’s Bottle is one of our favorite rooms… with its peaceful mountain view & cheerful & bright interior colors. Even the tiniest room, Studio One, had us smiling with its ”Maleficant-esque” feel & hand painted trees and moon wall murals. The motel NORTH section has larger 2 bedroom suites & “big king” rooms. We loved Maryanne’s Coconut Cream Pie. Incredibly whimsical and extremely comfortable. Being a corner room, it had beautiful light inside. Don’t miss out on the pie either… probably the best coconut cream pie we’ve ever had! This trip we stayed in the Final Frontier. What a fun room! Be sure to turn off all of the lights and make the living room as dark as possible before turning on the “special ceiling effect”. MESMERIZING! Also, keep an eye out for the glow in the dark tiles. The Stratton Falls location is a short scenic 2 mile drive away. The pool & breathtaking waterfall are located on this part of the property. With all of these gorgeous outdoor spaces, you never have to leave The Roxbury to have a different view. The Crooked Cabana pool area is the perfect place to unwind. Brazilian music and cocktails flow! Delicious fruit infused water is available poolside to help you beat the heat. Well appointed changing rooms are located in the Crooked Cabana. A reservable larger spa tub & sauna are also here. The Mansion, Tower Cottages & an outdoor living space with fire pit are also at this part of the Stratton Falls property. The lobby is inside the Mansion & is another “not to miss” space. Just as at the motel lobby, coffee & tea & snacks are available here. We have stayed in two Tower Cottages (so far). This trip we stayed in the glamourous Lost Horizon. Inspired by Old Hollywood, this is the most elegant of all of The Roxbury rooms. Absolutely swoon-worthy! Like most of the Tower Cottages, this room had a screened deck with a dining table as well as an open deck on the second floor with sun loungers. We finally got to share this very special place with friends, this trip, and have already made believers of them. Last winter, we stayed in the Crown of the Pendragons cottage. It was the perfect luxurious romantic stay. This cottage has one bedroom. The entire second floor was an amazing bathroom fit for a Queen and her King. During this trip, EVERY room was sold out but you would not have known it... it was as peaceful and private as ever! We could gush about The Roxbury for days. If you love whimsy AND luxury then this is the wonderland you are looking for!

I've been to the Roxbury multiple times now, and the staff is always welcoming and communicative whenever I've had questions before or during my stay. The mansion at Stratton Falls is a cozy place to stay, with striking yet tasteful interior design in the common areas, a convenient honor bar for snacks beneath the stairs, and Tootsie Pops in the lobby. Breakfast is packaged per personalized request each morning (you can make selections from an online menu and submit in advance, and a bag will be waiting for you in the morning). This includes things like bagels, coffee cake, yogurt, juice, etc. Coffee is also readily available. The property is well maintained, the themed rooms are a fun concept, and there's a short trail and waterfall on-site. Lots of options for things to do in the surrounding Catskills area, but if you prefer to keep it low-key, it's a great place to hang back for a mini retreat.

Note that if you cancel, even months in advance as I just did, they charge you a $50 cancellation fee, so don't book unless you are 100% sure you can go. I hear they've been sold. They used to have a winter deal for the off-season where you could book 2 nights and get the 3rd free, but that's gone too. It makes me very sad, as I have been going there for years, but a cancellation fee when I'm canceling a booking MONTHS in advance seems pretty yucky to me. I won't be going back

Dear 534nanettem, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We regret your disappointment regarding the cancellation fee. This was conveyed to you before you made the reservation so you were aware of this charge. Additionally, we offered you discounts of 20% off sale that we are currently having and the 30% Black Friday gift certificate sale. We regret our efforts did not satisfy your expectations. We are continually working to deliver the finest hospitality and we hope you will consider staying with us again. Kind regards, Colleen Williams General Manager

Amazing! My sister, my husband and I stayed in the Faerie Cottage on Halloween night. The thought and detail that the owners put into this place is incredible. We were amazed by the quality and artistry throughout the 2 story cottage, as well as the property. We each had our own bedroom with private bath, extremely clean, comfortable beds, screened in private porch, refrigerator, and surprises and fairies in every corner. We spent the first hour exploring the cottage, and did I mention that it is set in a beautiful location at Stratton Falls with wooded trails around the waterfalls. The staff were all friendly and helpful and a take away breakfast of danish, yogurt, bagels, etc., was included. There is not much in the town as far as restaurants, but we did not want to leave the property and brought our own food which worked out fine. I could go on, but you really need to experience this place for yourself! We can’t wait to go back with other family members and try out some of the other rooms and cottages!

I love everything about this hotel: the themed rooms, the location, the amenities and the staff. The owners are there frequently and are very sociable as well. The spa scheduling is easy (I just wish massages were offered!) The motel is within walking distance to several restaurants and about a five minute drive to the Stafford Falls location. I can’t wait to go back!

What an amazing place! We stayed at the Roxbury at Stratton Falls in the Dracula's Fangs cottage. Unbelievably fun! The attention to detail in the decor, amenities and the layout of the property is staggering. The staff is excellent, Robin was professional, kind and accommodating from the moment we spoke. Every inch of the cottage as well as the entire property is immaculate. The room makes you feel like you have stepped back in time and right into Dracula's lair. Perfect combination of luxury, devilish whimsy and comfort. We loved it! The property is arranged to add to the feeling of fantasy, all the cottages are in a row, like a perfect little town of fun and adventure. We highly recommend a stay here, as it was one of the most unique places we have ever stayed.
