It’s pretty basic, very clean, and I liked that there was a bar/restaurant right next door. The bathroom was extremely small and the space between sink & toilet quite tight. I loved being able to open the windows & just having the wooded view out back. It’s right off the highway to Newburgh so it was conveniently located for my visit with family.

Small quiet property with a local bar and grill right next door. Confusing accessing the property from the divided highway out front but park right in front of room. This was essential as I was on a motorcycle trip.

A Pleasant Surprise.

This is an older motel, so I wasn’t really expecting much. But was really impressed. Simple, but with everything you need. Comfortable bed, TV, mini fridge, microwave, and AC all worked perfectly. And the room and bathroom were SPOTLESS. None of the “mustiness” that you usually find in older places. And the women at the front desk was wonderful. I stayed two nights this trip in conjunction with a football game at West Point. I’ve already booked two more stays.

Adequate, a bit musty odor. Maybe it had been raining a lot. Nice bar. Ginnys had good food.

The Cadet Motel was the most affordable motel in the area and was close to fast food restaurants in nearby New Windsor and close to Highland Falls and West Point south on Highway 9W. The room offered two double beds and a satisfactory bathroom.

It’s a decent sized place for an overnight sleep, but close to the highway and pretty stark. It’s adequately clean and the staff is pleasant.

Unexpectedly good for a property that's rather unassuming looking on the outside. The room was clean (including the bathroom); had a fairly good air conditioner and refrigerator plus MW oven. Beds were comfortable. A good deal.

This is a fine, old world motel that’s been well-rejuvenated. Most importantly, it’s quiet ( not downtown) and very clean. The accoutrements inside the room are pretty minimal — tv, fridge, ac and microwave— but my bed was very comfortable, no rickety furniture, no smells, floors are spotless and bathrooms is modern. This is a great bargain!

Stayed for 3 days due to proximity to my destination. Only needed somewhere to sleep each night. Lady at the desk was pleasant and friendly. (one star). Took me a minute to figure out where the "office" was, other than that, checkin/checkout was simple (half star) Cleaning service was horrible. Only came in to change out towels. Beds weren't made, bathroom was not cleaned. (no stars) Dirty shower curtain that barely made it to the edge of the tub. (no stars) Would not stay here again.

Very clean. Basic. No decor to speak of. Screened windows are appreciated to avoid turning on air conditioning. But good to have when needed. Also, we appreciated the sports bar and grill next door, as well as its proximity to the Storm King Arts Center.
