This hotel is just down the street from the FDR Presidential Library. I walked there several times, and it only took a few minutes. I was there to do research, and the hotel was perfect for me. Good Internet service, a clean and comfortable room, decent breakfast, and the price is right. From here to Eleanor Roosevelt's home Val-Kill is a 2 mile walk on a lovely well-managed path through the woods. The staff at this hotel is pleasant, polite, and helpful.

Try Coco's restaurant for a light dinner or lunch. Good food at a good price.

If you are going to CIA (Culinary Institute of America) either to bring a student or visit a child, this is the best place to stay. It is just 2 miles away from the school.
Breakfast was OK and the rooms clean and neat.
Not a luxurious hotel but good enough for the purpose. Wi fi is free and fast.

We spent two nights at the Quality Inn Hyde Park, and for the most part we were pleased with our stay. As other reviewers have pointed out, it's tough to find a good hotel in the Hyde Park area, and this one was relatively reasonably priced. The location is unbeatable - the area's main attractions (FDR House, Vanderbilt Mansion, Culinary Institute of America, Val-Kill Cottage) are all located off of the same road as the hotel within easy driving distance. The room was very clean, and it's nice that the hotel provides a full breakfast (eggs, a breakfast meat, waffles, plus the usual continental breakfast fare). The negatives were that the bed was not very comfortable and the toilet had a habit of running for a very LONG time after you flushed it. Unfortunately, the toilet was also extremely loud when flushed, so this was more than a minor annoyance. Overall, however, the hotel is fine for a brief stay, especially if you're traveling on a tight budget.

Sept 2012. We had a king sized bed 2nd fl. The room was clean and looked like it was recently upgraded. The breakfast was very good. Eggs, bacon, waffles, juice, fruit..... Much more than you expect for a free continental. The pillows were the small chicklet size and were awful. The front desk stated they receive many complaints but they are standard issue for Quality Inns. I asked for 2 add'l pillows. If you want to sit up in bed and watch TV, bring your own pillow. I would stay here again.
