Vanderbilt Motel

I do know some unfortunate souls that do live here. What these other negative reviews say are 100% accurate. I can't blame them per say because Social Services is willing to pay so extravagantly much for the disenfranchised to be here. I live in a very nice neighborhood in a 2 story, finished basement, 4 bedrooms, garage, huge backyard and screened in porch on a dead end street and it costs less to maintain and pay all bills in my house than Social Services pays these people to house 2 adults and 1 child in a room the size of the smallest bedroom on my home. I gave service 4 stars because I talk to the individuals that work there and they do seem very nice. I can't blame them for accepting these ridiculous pay outs that I and we the tax payer have to pay for. This motel is not the problem, Social Services is the problem. To rent an entire house in my rather exquisite neighborhood costs less than Social Services pays this motel for 3 people to exist in one medium sized room. This makes me sick!

I arrived in Hyde Park from the north after driving all day from the Adirondaks, with a stop to see Martin Van Buren´s digs near Kinderhook. It was nearing darkness & I wanted to be sure to have a place to lay my head over part of this Columbus Day weekend.||||I had seen Vanderbilt Motel while researching Hyde Park on the net. Therefore when I saw the sign, I pulled in to ask about a room. As I was alone, I was not picky.||||For $75.00 I had a room on the back side of the motel away from busy Route 9. The clean room was spacious & served my purpose well. The microwave & small fridge came in handy. The hot water was sporadic & it took over an hour to have the Wi Fi working. It appears as if the owners do not depend upon transits as several room looked to be occupied by semi permanent residents and their families.||||I was there 2 nights. The room was not made up but I obtained fresh towels from the cheery front desk staff. The money I saved by staying at this basic, no frills establishment allowed me to splurge on a nice dinner at the Culinary Institute of America.||||If cost is a consideration, consider Vanderbilt Motel.

This is a homeless shelter that taxpayers pay $8000 a month (through Social Services) and it should be shut down immediately. The wiring is bad, there's bedbugs, broken toilets, broken refrigerators, broken microwaves, broken AC, no hot water, no wifi. It's filthy and no children should be there. Dutchess County Social Services pay this dump $8000 a month but won't give these women enough money for an apartment far less cheaper! Some women have more than one child and they get about $700 a month for housing. Where will you find an apartment for 3, 4, 5 people for $7, $8, even $900 a month? It can't be done! Taxpayers need to know where their money is going! And across the street the Hyde Park Inn is a shelter too and they get upwards of $2000 a week! These places are not fit for humans.

Honestly considered sleeping in my car. Dirty, run down. Leaky shower, drain wouldn’t stay open, toilet took 30 minutes to fill. Credit card machine “broken” same as 2 years ago so had to pay cash. Not willing to give us a receipt. Just nasty.

Went to meet someone from online named "crystal" there (not for drugs or sex), and was robbed. I bet anything going on near that place is illegal. Drugs and prostitution especially.
