Hyatt Place Poughkeepsie / Hudson Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Sara at customer service was wonderful"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Poughkeepsie

10/10 Excellent

"All is great, premises are well maintained, nice patio areas with fire pits, very cozy, putting green , basketball court, and grilling areas. The only thing I would recommend is to get house service every day If you stay 2 nights then you don’t get your room cleaned Since they do it every other day. It was worth the drive instead of staying at any hotel in Fishkill . Also breakfast was very simple, but for free is great!! And coffee ☕️ it was perfect!"

Beekman Arms and Delamater Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A Wonderful Stay at the Beekman Arms and Delamater Inn! We loved our stay at the Beekman Arms. The location is perfect, with plenty of shopping and restaurants within easy reach. The inn also has a lovely restaurant, and our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We stayed in the Courtyard Suite and especially enjoyed the king-size bed and cozy fireplace, which made our stay extra special. The one thing I would mention to future guests is that the Courtyard Suite did not have an elevator. If you have difficulty climbing stairs or carrying luggage upstairs, be sure to ask about the room's location when making your reservation, as we were unaware that our room was on the second floor. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the Beekman Arms to anyone looking for a charming place to stay in a wonderful location!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Poughkeepsie

8/10 Good

"There was some initial confusion at check in as the front desk thought the room was serviced and available. The room was cleaned in a timely fashion. The staff was excellent , responding to all our requests. The price for the room with two double beds was outrageous. With fees and taxes the room was over 725.00 for one night. It is extremely difficult to book a hotel room directly and we are at the mercy of third party reservationists."
