What guests think

At Holiday Inn Poughkeepsie by IHG, guests describe a stay with friendly staff and clean, comfortable beds alongside dated rooms, intermittent odors or dampness, and frequent facility hiccups like a closed pool, limited bar/restaurant hours, and occasional fire-alarm disruptions.

Positives include an updated lobby, 24/7 lobby coffee, and a location convenient to local colleges, Hyde Park sights, and major roads. Common frustrations are inconsistent housekeeping and smells (including reports of mold or pests), thin walls and maintenance issues, TV and temperature problems, and paid or underwhelming breakfast with bar/restaurant closures. Expect a basic, convenient stay with variable room quality; confirm amenity status before you go.

Facilities

Common areas look updated, with 24/7 lobby coffee, but facilities are inconsistent: the pool is frequently closed or unappealing, the restaurant and bar often have limited hours, and the fitness room and signage can be hard to find. Parking can feel limited or dark.

This location was convenient for a conference however there seems to be a massive leak problem at the hotel and the whole place was musty and moldy once you got out of the lobby. They had dehumidifiers and fans in some of the hallways when we first arrived. The signage was also confusing and the fitness center was difficult to find. The price was reasonable, and the room was clean.

We really liked that our room had additional space as if it were asuite. It came with two beds and a sofa bed. We also really liked that the hotel was off of a little stream and had outdoor seating where my wife and I played cards. Unfortunately, we picked the place for the pool and breakfast, but the pool was out of service, for what seems like, a long time, and the breakfast was an additional charge of $12 plus tax. False advertisement. Other than that, the property was clean and had a nice place to read books. There was an option to shoot pool, but we didn't make it for that. We did try the gym, which was clean, but hard to find.

First the hotel told us that the pool was working. Then when we checked in there was NO POOL. We paid extra for a breakfast. It was not on par with any breakfast anywhere. Please see pictures. Also, the person in charge of the breakfast looked like he was in a bad mood. His face literally said he didnt want to be there, like we were intruding on what could have been a pleasant day for him. The only good thing was the friendly bartender.

The AC was a bit noisy but effective. The room had noticeable wear and tear but was comfortable. Hotel sits on a divided highway; going North was easy, going South less so. No pool. I visited during a rainy cold weekend and did not use the patio. Fire alarm went off 3:39am on first night. Bar was reasonably well stocked but pricey.

The room smelled like mold, the TV didn’t have all of the channels advertised (no kids channels) and also didn’t work for streaming. We were traveling with two small children, so the TV not working was very inconvenient. Dining and bar was closed the whole time we were there (Friday to Saturday). Definitely not worth what we were charged for the room.

The hotel was easy enough to get to and down the road from large shopping malls, but the area itself seemed secluded. The hotel was clean, but the staff wasn't too helpful and didn't give any information about the property including the times for breakfast or where the pool & gym were located. Also, the pool was in the basement and the only staircase going to it was very dark. My wife and I love going to pools when we travel (always a prerequisite for our hotel choice) but didn't use the pool this time since it wasn't appealing. Finally, they had a very small parking lot which might have had more spaces available if some of the locals didn't hang out there. Overall, it was a decent hotel for a one night stay, but I've stayed in better places.

The pool was out of order. It should be advertised that it is not in order. I picked the hotel for that specifically. We were in a wedding and the pool was supposed to be for my kids to relax after such a formal event

DISGUSTING. BED BUGS or fleas jumping all over the bed area, GROSS stains on EVERY wall. Basically- overpriced motel. Outside- only taped off abandoned construction. No patio. No cleaning staff anywhere in sight, anytime throughout the day, probably because no one really cleans the rooms or property there. Water dripping from ceilings in the rain. Moldy. You’d think this place should be shut down by now. Worst place to stay at- definitely don’t bring children here- not safe. No breakfast on holidays. HORRIBLE PLACE. There are many way better options.

When we got there, I was impressed by the lobby and bar area. It was clean, updated and appealing. Upon entering the room, right away I was unhappy. There were brown stains all over the walls and the carpet was ripping in spots. The ceiling in the bathroom were peeling. The toilet kept running when no one was using it, and toilet paper would sporadically come back up. When I went to the front desk, she sent a "maintenance" man who showed up with no tools. He flushed the toilet and said, it's fine. When I explained to him that it kept running and paper was coming back up, he said, "hold down the flusher." We were near a staircase, and every time someone used the stairs, the door slammed extremely loudly. When people were going up and down late at night and early in the morning, we couldn't sleep. The beds were comfortable and clean but this hotel needs to invest in the rooms overall.

Worst hotel experience ever. Very strong mildew smell triggered my allergies severely, and I needed a new room. Found random hair in my room, bathmats and towels were damp, shower had no hot water, loud people in halls until 3am kept me awake. I would not recommend anyone stay here, in fact, the health department should be notified regarding the mold/mildew odor in the basement, which is a floor with hotel rooms on it.

Unfortunately my stay was not as i expected. The room was very dirty. There was food on the kitchen floor and all over the couch and chairs. The bed had hair under the sheets etc. I went to customer service and showed them pictures. They said they would swnd housekeeping and were very apologetic. House keeping came an made the bed and left everything else dirty as it was. I still have pictures

This hotel is 2 star. I am disabled and they tried to put me in a damp musty room in the basement. It was obvious that there had been a flood. When I went back upstairs the desk man wouldn’t even come out his office. I HG offered me points for a free night. I asked for a call from a supervisor. No call back.

Lobby smelled like cat urine. Was charged more for one night of stay than the other and not informed. Placed in the basement floor because we wanted side by side rooms, no other rooms available. I paid more for these rooms than I have in NY City so expected better. The rooms were OK although there was mildew present in Room 129, as part of the group we were with. There was no outlet in the bathroom to plug in the hair dryer, and no other near a mirror in the room that worked. Obvious that all rooms need a cosmetic facelift. Awakened by a fire alarm and other guests. Received a letter under the door the first night not to open bathroom door during a shower, it would set off a fire alarm. On a positive note, when complained about children running up and down the hall and screaming, the staff took care of it right away. Would be wonderful if there was more than a one night stay the coffee would be replenished. Some of the outlets did not work for charging devices. No other interaction with staff.

Called IHG and THEY could not get the desk to answer! IHG said they would escalate to owner and general manager who would call me the next day. Came home and called IHG 2 days after trip (3 days after incident) and THEY again could not get the hotel to answer and said I’d have a call from the owner/GM. A week after our trip, I’m still waiting.

We paid a decent price and it came with breakfast. The room was clean and neat. Breakfast was good. They have coffee and tea all day but you have to pay for cold water. The bar and restaurant was pricy so we went across the street to the Indian restaurant for dinner. Since we were on a bicycle trip, we walked to the restaurant across the street which was extremely dangerous.

The associate at front desk said the person thaat runs breakfast never showed up. Upon checking out i inquired about getting my breakfast fee reimbursed and the same front desk employee responds"oh you didnt get breakfast? " i said no you told me he never showed up. Well, apparently the person showed up at 9am and i was not made aware of. In addition, the bar/restaurant closed early the night before so we couldnt order food.
