Find the Cheap Poughkeepsie Hotels

As a Hilton Diamond member, I stay exclusively at Hilton portfolio properties when I travel frequently by train. On a recent solo visit to Poughkeepsie in late July, mainly to visit the Walkway Over The Hudson, I was happy to hear that the Poughkeepsie Grand had supposedly converted to a Doubletree and thus would be very convenient for me needs. I found out upon arrival that the hotel slapped a temporary Doubletree banner across the top of the building, and that whatever interior and exterior construction needed for this conversion was very much still in progress. I did not find the lobby to be inviting, although the staff was to their credit very friendly and knowledgeable. The place appeared to be in a state of flux, with facilities closed to the public. Outside, there was construction equipment blocking the sidewalk adjacent to the building, with nothing stopping people from walking right into it. Had to walk in the street to get around it!! The room was OK, although an upgrade to Hilton standards would be welcomed. My view, which was to the east, looked down on a curbside and off-street bus transfer station. My room had ample space for my belongings, and the bathroom had enough counterspace to put my toiletries. Still, one could tell that the infrastructure was very old. Other than all that, I did get a decent night of sleep, and the location being walking distance from both the train and the Walkway was a plus.

Love this booking, I was there for two nights. Hotel room is huge , bathroom is also huge, I like that it has a big sink table, which actually allows people to put their bathroom necessities on. The self- laundry service is very reasonable in price. First time using. The staff were all super nice and professional, and some even energetic. Can tell they like their job. Especially the cheerful guy at day time. The cleaning lady also cleans daily The swimming pool and gym are small, but enough The breakfast is simple but decent Things I think would love to have: 1) room slippers; 2) the big TV isn’t smart TV

The bathroom was quite small with no soaps for showering. Someone was smoking on balcony outside at night and the scent seeped right through the window of bathroom and made the whole room smell so bad.

We traveled to Poughkeepsie to see a show at the Rhinebeck Center for Performing Arts. After checking a number of hotels, I chose the Holiday Inn Express as the location was good, price was right, and reader ratings were fine. I'm glad we chose the Holiday Inn Express. The room was well-appointed, staff was friendly, and breakfast offerings were fresh and plentiful, although I would have liked some non-sweetened cold cereal offerings. The only downside was that housekeeping made up our bathroom on the second morning, but not the bedroom. We advised the front desk, which made amends. We recommend it.

We had a death in the family, so we had to make quick arrangements, and the place we stayed in the last time was booked. This one was cerainly acceptable, although the room was smaller and the general ambiance was somewhat less than at our prior choice. The sticking point for me was that the room price doesn't include breakfast. There's a Starbucks in the lobby where you can get a limited hot menu. It is totally my faut for not having read the website carefully enough, of course. But I would have made another choice if i'd been aware of that.

This new property scores well on the major points: Clean room, comfortable bed and quiet. However, the entire property has a very sterile, hospital-like appearance. Breakfast was edible but that's about it. Other than the cleaning staff, who was friendly and cheerful, the rest of the staff could learn to smile and say hello. If you can get a room at a reasonable price then this hotel is a good value. But at $350+ for one night, look elsewhere.

My son and I stayed one night in a one bedroom suite while in town to tour Vassar. The hotel’s location and nearby amenities (we walked to a very decent sushi dinner) was great. Other than that, the hotel was really loud - lots of screaming in the hallways until late at night, the people staying in the room on the other side of my head had their alarm going at 6 am for almost an hour and it might as well have been in my room. Walls don’t appear to have any sound mitigation at all. The sofa bed (where my son slept) was too uncomfortable as a bed (and the thin mattress was stained/dirty with no mattress cover) so he re-folded it into a couch. Needless to say we didn’t get much sleep. Wish I had better things to say. It’s also awkward to have to go through the bedroom to get to the one bathroom. We’ve stayed at many Residence Inns and not had this experience.

We had an unexpected stay at Homewood Suites by Hilton Poughkeepsie. Kerry Connelly and her staff were wonderful. No matter what time of day you were greeted by friendly staff. Excellent buffet breakfast. Pool, wonderful outdoor space with a fire. Welcome Wednesday night was great. If you call for extra towels there is no wait time. Pet friendly. They made us feel like home. Thank you!
