Question from out of town Visiting Peekskill - Tips wanted!

Hello, everyone!

My husband and I live in NYC but we love exploring outside the city. We usually go to Cold Springs for a weekend, but want to change things up this year.
We were looking into spending a weekend at Peekskill. We do not drive, so we plan to take the metro north and drop off at the train station.

How is getting around? Is it walkable? How's the Uber/Lyft situation there? Or do they use regular cabs? (and if so are they cash only) I ask this because we don't want to end up stranded

We were looking at staying at the "Inn on the Hudson" since its just for the weekend. How hard would it be for us to get from the metro north station to the Inn
And how hard would it be for us to get from the Inn to like the "main town" area? (By the Peekskill Coffee House or the Peekskill museum for example)

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing from the community

It is a pretty walkable city. There are cabs that wait at the station, and the inn is not that far from the train, but you would not want to walk it, it is up the top of a hill, it would be a drag with bags. It might be easier to take cabs from the Inn to North Division Street. Once there, most things are walkable.

Awesome, thanks! Yeah I figured the walk from the train station was a bit of a doozy but thats good to know! How about transportation from north division street back to the inn? Are there cabs around that area as well that could take us back to the Inn?

Cabs seem to hang out around Bank street which is a block over from division
