    If you are looking for a quiet and secluded spot to dock for the night in Kingston, this is not it. For us, we couldn't have been more pleased. Patrick Sheehan, dock master, was responsive and very helpful. We stayed for two nights and by the end of our stay, we felt we had a new friend. The power, water, and WiFi were great! Good voltage, municipal water, and fast connectivity. We travel with an active dog who needs exercise. Kingston is very dog friendly and there seem to be endless options for a good long walk. The truly unique feature of this marina is the location right in the center of all the activity. There are excellent restaurant choices, unique shops, art scene, and we enjoyed a live concert with the best possible seats - our boat's fly bridge. If you enjoy people watching and you have a dog who enjoys bird watching, Kingston City Marina is an excellent choice!

    We enjoyed our two night stay at HMB Marina! Prior to arrival we received clear instruction from Steve, the marina manager, on location of slip including a diagram and picture, how to approach, and that he would be on hand to grab lines. He was always courteous, attentive, and a responsive communicator when we had questions no matter how trite.

    > When our power cord was a little short he brought an extension. He also helped us cast off lines at departure.

    > He was helpful in finding local attractions, which are numerous including The Tavern at Croton Landing (20 min walk), Rockefeller Estate, Van Cortlandt Manor, Croton Dam and Falls, and Croton Point Park.
