We were told that this used to be the Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel and Hilton took over and is in the midst of renovating.
Parking , which is conveniently attached & accessible to/from the hotel, could use some brightening up.
The public areas of the hotel still feel dated but renovation is ongoing.
Upon check in, the reception agent - who was very pleasant and welcoming - could not find our reservation in their system. I showed him my Expedia reservation and after a bit of searching, he found it in a different system. He still had to key in all of my information in his system but all the while, assured me that we will have a room. That was a relief.
The hallway to our room has been renovated but somehow still felt dated. The room is renovated and feels fresh, especially the bathroom. The bathroom toiletries by Crabtree & Evelyn are wonderful! I will to return when the renovation is completed and see how it all comes together.
