I was expecting the worst based on some reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. The lobby is small but nice and the rooms were decent size and clean. The room did have a strange smell, however, and I had to sleep with the window open. It smelled like new shower curtain. The other problem in the room was that it was... more

I attended a wedding at this dump they call a "grand" hotel. I guess for Poughkeepsie, this is as grand as it gets. The public areas were redone to give the pretense of a fancy place but behind the scenes it's old and dated, especially the hotel rooms. The food was terrible. They must offer a bargain wedding package for... more

I was staying for a wedding. The shower had left over hair, half a roll of toilet paper. At 7am Sunday morning most of the hotel was awoken by drilling and hammering, which continued all morning. I checked out at 1045am and had to walk through the demolition area, which consisted of debris all around. The elevator from the parking... more

I recently celebrated my nuptials at the Grand this past November. The reason why I picked this venue was due to the fact that they could accomodate smaller parties. Every other hall that I looked at wanted at least a minimum of 125 people. I am not from the Poughkeepsie area, nor were my guests, but the fact that I... more

I'm glad to read that the functions here are good, because this was one of the scariest overnight hotel experiences ever. I flew into Albany for a meeting, but needed to get to Westchester for a day so I thought I would stay in between. I book through a work agent, and always like to stay in something other than... more

We recently attended a wedding at the Poughkeepsie Grand, which was just perfect. The service and food within the reception room was fantastic. However, the service in the Hotel was awful, right down to the rudest bartender ever! The rooms were clean, but the hotel was one of the nosiest places I have ever stayed. There were several weddings, which... more

We spent one terrible night at the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel. Just after midnight we were awakened to the AC in our room started to make a screaming sound. Rather than wait for it to be repaired or have to change rooms we turned off the AC and waited until morning to complain. Since we didn't complain at midnight they refused... more

I did not end up staying the night at the Poughkeepsie Grand, though I paid for a night. It was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. Who's running this place? I called for the hotel shuttle from the train. 10 mintues later, no shuttle. When I called the hotel desk to find out if I was in the... more

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Poughkeepsie Grand in October of 2004. Overall, we found it to be a wonderful experience. The staff were very attentive to us and our bridal party. The food was pretty good, though we did not have much of a chance to eat. This is one of the classier hotels in... more
