“We enjoyed our stay! Spot on for the price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

I think the reviews you will read on this hotel are accurate but I'd like to offer a different view. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Keisha? was at the front desk upon our arrival and was friendly and helpful. She made us feel welcome (including our 10 year old). Our reservation was for two days but we ran into a snow storm on the way. The Hotel cancelled the two day reservation and changed it to one day and did not charge us anything additional. My plan was to take Metro North into NYC so my son could experience a New York City Christmas and once we checked in, the hotel provided us transportation to the Metro North/Amtrak Station. When we returned they provided transportation back.

They offered a free Full Breakfast in the morning, not one of the "Continental" breakfasts that other hotel chains offer. Eggs any style! My son had pancakes and my wife had French Toast which came with 6 slices of french toast and 8 slices of bacon!!!

In Poughkeepsie's hey day, this hotel was probably one of the finest in the area. It is a large hotel and right next to it is a convention center. It is an old hotel that appears updated.

For the price, it was a great value. I had a great nights sleep! My only complaint was the "warm" shower in the morning. After traveling, i was looking forward to a hot shower.

Again, I want to point out that Keisha made us feel welcome and if we are in the area again, we would stay at the hotel again. I'm not sure if there is a pool or fitness center but we did not use it.

“Not the best”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2012

I stayed there one night in October. Clean but a little outdated. We had a non smoking room but smoke smell was coming through the vent in the Bathroom. The bar downstairs was nice as was the free breakfast. Friendly staff. Parking is a little crazy

“great staff and great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

Stayed at this older hotel the middle of October and found it to be clean and up to date - at least on the 10th floor. River view was great. The free morning breakfast
was a full meal. Bar and grill is above average. Also the hotel staff picked up my
party at the Metro North rail station and transported us to the hotel. Elevator serve to our floor was good. I will stay here again.

“Would Not Recommend”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

This hotel is relatively clean, but as many people have said, the decor is a bit dated. There is also a lack of power outlets in the room. There is only one outlet by the desk in the room, but it already has two lamps plugged into it, so in order to plug in my computer I had to unplug one of the lamps. The bed is very large, but it is extremely hard and very uncomfortable. When taking a shower, the water would not get hot. I had to settle for a lukewarm shower. While this hotel is certainly clean and safe, it is not a very relaxing environment.

“Good Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

We stayed at the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel for three nights this October, 2012.
It was a very nice hotel. Liked our stay. Staff were helpful, nice, answered all our questions.
Breakfast buffet wasn't good, but it was "adequate". The coffee cold.
Staff at the bar area, were exceptional.
note: A fire alarm went off (a false alarm, thank goodness) early morning. Thus causing 'everyone' to evacuate into a cold morning.
Upon check-out, we weren't offered any compensation. No apology, No Coffee, No breakfast.
No discount upon a next stay! Poor management.

Room Tip: With so many great locations/options for food, I won't eat at the hotel again unless their resta...
