Pros: conveniently located to downtown Fishkill, I-84, gas stations, area attractions, Taconic SP; room was affordable, spacious, updated and clean; bed was comfortable; good amount of closet space and clothes storage; good noise insulation both from outside/road and neighboring rooms; lots of room amenities - microwave, mini-fridge, coffee machine, hair dryer; room could be heated/cooled quickly, altho the AC was a little noisy cycling on/off; black-out curtains kept the room plenty dark; secure key-card-access-only to guest rooms on 1st floor; hotel amenities such as pool, gym, self-serve snack bar, ATM, free breakfast, free WiFi, lobby lounge/TV area, corporate meeting and event spaces
Cons: not an attractive location/exterior - located in an industrial park, and I almost drove past it thinking it was an office building, and the lobby/interior of the hotel isn't especially welcoming, either; the staff wasn't warm of particularly friendly - no one working there acknowledged me unless I said something first; the only entry point is the main entrance - you can use the emergency exits to leave, but can't enter thru them, and it was a bit of a hike to my room; the sink area is poorly lit, a nightmare for putting on make-up; there's no exhaust fan in the bathroom, so unless you leave the bathroom door open while showering, the mirror fogs so badly that it's unusable; the 4 bed micro-pillows STINK - 2 standard or king pillows would've been better
