The Atlas Motor Lodge is private, convenient and reasonably priced. It is located on Route 9 though we weren't bothered too much by traffic noise, especially while the air conditioner was running. The rooms are comfortable, great shower. Located on a large property with lots of trees and birds, nature-like setting. Small gazebo to sit outside. In the back building are longer-term residents though the front building is tourist-oriented and some rooms have private entry from the parking lot. Arti is kind and a wonderful hostess! One suggestion, the room door should have some way of securing it while you're inside to prevent someone with a key from coming in. We would stay here again.

I checked into the Atlas Motor Lodge around 9 or 930 pm, and whatever candle was burning in the main lobby area smelled really good. (I wish I asked what the fragrance was!) Anyway, I stayed in the main building, so I didn’t get to see what the inside of the rest of the place looked like, but the grounds looked clean and maintained. The location is good, there’s a gas station pretty much right across the street, with a mini mart, Dunkin Donuts and Subway. We didn’t explore the area or anything, since we were just there for one night to avoid driving all the way home at night, but apparently the Walkway Over the Hudson (old rail trail) is really close, and so is New Paltz and Poughkeepsie, if you’re looking for something to do I guess. It was a little weird going to our room, in the main building; the hallway is narrow and it just felt like walking into a dorm room, or a bedroom in someone’s house. Once we walked into our room, that feeling went away. The room was tiny, but there was enough room for us to set up our pack n’ play for our 5-month-old, and to be comfortable. That said, it was a really nice room; I guess it was one of those renovated rooms I read about on here. The bed was one of the most comfortable ones I’ve slept in, with a pillow topper, or something. There was laminate flooring, a flat screen tv, dvd player, a mini fridge and a microwave. The bathroom was a little outdated looking, but really, all you need is a toilet, sink and shower, and they were very clean, so that’s cool.

I stayed here for one night: the room was very clean, the staff was friendly and efficient, and the price was right. The decor is something out of a time capsule from the early 1970s, but that gives it charm.
