Quiet and Adequate hotel
A very adequate which had all the basics you need. There was a gym on site and breakfast was included. Although most items were prepackaged, it was still a nice touch. Parking was onsite as well and plenty of spots were available.
The rooms were spacious and quite comfortable and everything was quite clean. The beds were also nice and fluffy. Furthermore it was a bit out of Fishkill so it wasn't as busy and noisy around the area. Price wise, it was quite affordable, making it an excellent choice.

Quiet and Clean Place for Rest!
The hotel was a hit for us. It gave a good night's sleep and was very quiet. There was an ample amount of space for parking. the best feature of our room was how clean it was, from the bathrooms to the beds. The only downside was the breakfast, very simple pre-packaged items like sausage and egg sandwich that we could microwave. Since it was self-service, there was not much of an opportunity to see their customer service.
