Magnuson Hotel Fishkill

The condition of the property was disappointing -- weeds growing unchecked; potholes and broken asphalt in the parking lot and entry road; building concrete crumbling; hallway carpeting was old and threadbare in spots; first-floor exit door was unusable; lighting in general was low, but adequate -- that is, there was no area where the quality of the light felt warm and welcoming; the bathroom plumbing was in need of repair; the screen in the room's window was broken, behind its glass counterpart; the compact refrigerator barely kept items cold. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable, but not new. The lobby and reception had a polished marble look, and the meeting area looked inviting. Breakfast met the minimum expectation of what constitutes a hotel breakfast bar, but it was under-attended, and required visits to the front desk for service. In general, everything was adequate, but I had paid extra for this property than similar nearby hotels because I was hoping for something beyond adequate.

Yuck...the lobby smells. It's really tired looking. Thank God the bedding was clean.

The front desk staff was helpful.

Exceeded expectations, weak spot breakfast, good restaurants in area

Cheap but awesome!!
