Very clean. Loved the shower and the robes. Good breakfast . Front desk staff were fairly terse upon our arrival, but other than that we had a good experience. Wish there was a fitness center.

Located across the street from the beautiful Vassar College campus, this is the upscale but affordable hotel and restaurant the immediate Poughkeepsie and Arlington area has needed for a long time. A beautiful property.

Can't recommend enough
Excellent hotel discovered by accident. Great price point. Luxe everything- upscale toiletries, cool sweatshirt bathrobes, Illy coffee, distilled water stations on every floor, impeccable service. Added a second night and hotel took care of everything seamlessly. Hotel room design thoughtful. Great bed and pillows. Can't recommend enough!! This is why chain hotels are a snooze and places like this are a delight.

Think twice
Front desk wasn't friendly at all. Not welcoming. Room had a big leak from the shower above. The maintenance man was extremely apologetic but the front desk staff didn't apologize nor did they offer another room. Very disappointed in a hotel owned by such a prestigious college. I expected a warm friendly welcoming and to be accommodating. Upon checkout, Brian, was very rude and didn't even ask how our stay was nor THANK us!!!!!!
