My wife and I spent the weeked with our 4 children (12 year old boy, 5 year old twin boys & 3 year old daughter) at the Golden Manor in Hyde Park, even though we live relatively nearby as a sort of mini-vacation, while visiting local sites. The motel location is good right on Route 9 (Main St Hyde Park and Rhinebeck) and our room was just "ok" it had plenty of room with 3 double beds, but they were all rock hard, the ceiling tiles were droopy and stained, the carpet was stained, the airconditioning was a through the wall unit poorly fit and the bathroom was really small and dated with peeling paint, some mold, stained tub, etc. One of the main reasons we booked the motel was to be able to use the pool, but after check-in I was advised "it closed a few days ago" ? ! The owners were very nice to me and my family but I did see first hand one of them being rude to another guest who requested and offered to pay for an extra hour (12 vs 11am checkout). Breakfast is included and consisted of coffee, juice, rolls, store bought donuts & danish (Entemanns). For perspective we paid $95 fof the 3 double bed room with breakfast, so in the end, it was a good value. Just have realistic expectations. If you want a really nice modern room with indoor pool and other hotel amenities including a killer breakfast for about $110-130/night, stay a few miles south at the Hampton Inn on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie, this is by far the nicest hotel in the area.

I was quite surprised how nice and clen the room was. It was dated, but very clean. Location was fantastic. We had previously styed at the chain hotels, but like to support the locals. So much better than the chain.

Our family group of 13 stayed here in 5 rooms for 3 nights. The location is great! It is directly across from the FDR home and next to an old school drive in theatre on one side and a fantastic brew pub on the other. The CIA and Marist College are 4-5 miles to the south on Route 9. After visiting the historical sites nearby we enjoyed the very clean large pool in the afternoon. The woman(owner) at the front desk was entirely opposite from the abrupt personality she had on the phone. The rooms were dated but we found them to be very clean. We rented 2 of the efficiencies each containing a little sink/refrigerator and stove. The rate includes a light breakfast of coffee/orange juice and store bought donuts. Our rooms happened to be in the back facing the pool so we heard no road noise.

I would stay here again when we return to the area.

After being stereotyped as a party hard college kid who would only trash the room I was able to negotiate a single room with two beds for 75 bucks before taxes during the off peak season. While enjoying a cigarette in my new costly -- hole I witnessed a roach walking on the bar of soap in the bathroom . I grabbed a piece of garbage and scooped the demon insect towards the toilet. I grabbed my belongings and walked out. I told the lady that I would not pay 80 plus dollars to sleep with roaches and demanded a refund. She refused. I told her I was unhappy with her service and business practices but she still declined. I'm 80 bucks in the hole but roach free tonight where I lay my head. This is my honest review, no haste, resentment, anger or spite. Just an honest man looking out for others. Good luck.
