Hotel Independent di Dolgeville

"Checkin was pleasant and room was on 1st floor right next to parking, so easy unload and load.

Our host couldn't have been more wonderful and he helped us out after a long ride on the Erie Canal Trail. The amenities were excellent. I would go to Fort Plain just to stay there again. Thank you!"
