Our family of five stayed at the Days Inn for the Thanksgiving Holiday (Wednesday and Thursday). We picked this hotel due to the indoor pool and proximity to a family member. I have nothing but positive comments about our experience and stay. The desk clerk, a young lady, was very helpful and went our of her way to assist/answer questions. Her smiling face helped to welcome us after a 6 hour trip. The room was sufficient but not too fancy. The continential breakfast was fine for our family. The pool provided some "release" time for our children while I was able to use the fitness center. Initially I was told that the area was bad but after staying there I disagree.

The room was nicer than I expected it to be and the location was good. Having never been to Poughkeepsie before we were cluless about to where to eat and how to get where we needed to go. Darron @ the front desk was great! He checked us in, told us about all of the food options nearby and how to get there, gave us a card for the best local cab company, told us about the breakfast options down in the lobby the next morning and anything else we needed to know. Later on I interrupted his dinner to ask for an iphone charger and he went out of his way to find one for me and let me keep it overnight. I cannot say enough good things about his professionalism, customer service, and knowledge of the area. He is the main reason I would stay there again. The only negative was the area going up the steps to our room smelled musty and mildew-like but the smell was not in our room @ all. I would definitely stay here again if the need arose. :-)

This hotel was the only one available for our wedding party since the others were booked with Vassar's Freshman Weekend. While reasonably priced, the rooms were less than appealing. All of our rooms were musty and stale smelling. Carpet was filthy. Bathroom was extremely small, hard to turn around in. Lighting fixtures didn't work appropriately. Bed was OK comfort wise, certainly not plush. The best feature of the hotel was the very friendly desk clerk who was most helpful. We would not return to this hotel - would rather travel from another town nearby.

Although the Days Inn is very close to my daughter's college, and convenient in that way, I recommend that you find another place to stay when visiting this area. My initial reservation couldn't be found upon check-in. Somehow, although I paid for our room in cash, my credit card was billed. The day manager told me "it's a bank problem" [but it wasn't]. Days later, when it still wasn't remedied, the day manager said the person who took the reservation made it for the wrong day. Eight days later, the overpayment was restored to my account and I was offered 15 % off my next stay. However, I had paid more for the night's stay than was advertised; they said "it was a busy weekend." It was my third time here, but I am now looking elsewhere.
