Poughkeepsie Hotels with Wi-Fi

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
