Two things I felt were needed: 1) better lighting outside along the road up to the Atlas. At night time, it is quite dark and the house on the right where we turn was lit up but not the hotel office. It was confusing. 2) A much bigger sign is needed for the hotel office. Again at night is when many guests arrive and once you are inside I had to figure out their old system of picking up the phone and wait for someone to come check me in.

Clean economical hotel.
I visited the area during High season, and rates were high in the area. This was a great economical alternative. The room was spotless, the location was great, the staff was very friendly and helpful. This is a modest hotel with smaller rooms, but everything works just fine, including the TV and the Wi-Fi. I would definitely come here again if I was in the area.

Good price, clean and convenient
Stayed at the Atlas Motor Lodge because it was an hour away from an annual bicycle event in Millerton, NY. The lodge is conveniently located near the bike trail linking Newburgh and Poughkeepsie and the walkway over the Hudson River. The bed was comfortable, room was neat and bathroom/shower were acceptable. If you require amenities, such as a pool, gym or lounge, pay more and book at a corporate/chain lodging. If your good with a fair price and decent room, this is your place! My wife and I were very pleased and would book again and recommend it to friends.

If you are on a budget, don't want a cookie cutter experience and are up for an adventure, this motel is a great choice. It is right next to the Rail Trail that spans the Hudson River (do it) and beautiful Franny Reece park with its miles of meandering trails through colorful woods. We were able to park right outside our room at no cost so we could go in and out easily. This is an older motel that has been popular since the 1950's and it was fun to go retro for a few days. Refridgerators, freezers, microwaves and coffeepots have been added in the modernizing updates, but the motel still retains that James Dean feel. Its location near the bridge provides easy access to both sides of the river and the attractions such as the Vanderbilt mansion and Franklin Roosevelt's Presidential Library.

We checked in and first of all the lobby area was filthy, carpets, wall etc. We were hesitant but checked into the room and the room carpet was filthy, the bed mattress was also filthy, stained etc, would not sleep on such a bed. Also the tv did not work. We left and found a Super 8 motel and checked in. We then went back to the Atlas and checked out. The clerk said we could apply for refund thru Expedia. You should not even list the Atlas Motor Lodge on your sight.

Abominable
Honestly...it's so bad, it seems like a comedy sketch. I think they overbooked, and didn't really have a "real" room available..so they offered us a "choice" of two subterranean dwellings, one w a queen bed, other king. I included pics, cause to just try to describe them wouldn't do justice. Especially the "mystery door", as we called it...with a duct taped drape over it. In the end, after laying on top of bed fully clothed at night..we left and drove 2 hrs to go home.

If sleeping on a bed thats as hard as the ground, a bathroom, without working lights. broken lights in room, NOT working AC, Smelly hotel, broom closet size room then this is just the place you wanna stay. Otherwise Don't bother staying here

Good budget option. Hudson Walkway nearby.
This is a good budget option if you want to explore this area. We were within walking/biking distance of the Walkway Across the Hudson. Easy access to both Poughkeepsie and New Paltz for lots of activities and food options. A short drive, medium bike ride to Hyde Park and the Culinary Institute. The Motel itself was a bit dated, but clean. The staff were professional and courteous.

A delightful throwback to genuine motor lodges...
This is the second time I have stayed at the Atlas Motor Lodge, and once again it did not disappoint. I come with a cycling fellowship into the area once a season and this place is an ideal location for accommodations while cycling the area. The management are polite and helpful, the rooms are perfectly adequate for our needs, clean and well kept. The owners take pride in the property and we saw them landscaping and doing other little nice touches the entire time we were here. Very pleased with the Atlas Motor Lodge and we will be returning here next season.

So much potential yet so depressing.
First impression: the property is beautiful, expansive grassy areas with tall evergreens. The lady at the front desk was friendly and very accommodating. She personally led me to my room, down the stairs from the lobby through a dimly lit hallway in a partial basement (???) She commented that I had a choice of two rooms and opened the door to the first one. It was pretty bad, the first thing I noticed was there was a very large area surrounding the air conditioner that was patched with bare, unpainted plywood. I asked her to show me room #2. It featured stained and peeling wallpaper, extensive mildew stains on the bathroom door molding and a very deteriorated faux wood floor. I'm sorry to have to say this because the lady was so nice but look at these rooms! They look like they should be featured in "Gulag Housekeeping". Seriously, do some improvements, or just close!!

Stayed in town to hop on the train to Yankee Stadium the next morning. Would choose a different stop next time. The local area is very dull and run down. Very little to do. The accommodations were lackluster and there was a bit of an unpleasant smell throughout the entire building. The location was easy to find and the building looks nice from the outside. The service from the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Excellent staff, mediocre comfort.
