Hi - stayed at the Wellesley Inn at the beginning of June for 3 nights as part of a large group (relatives who all came from other parts of U.S. for the wedding of a cousin). I booked the Wellesley because all the other aunts/uncles/cousins were doing so. Then I read the reviews here and was afraid -- very afraid. In fact I asked my motherinlaw if maybe we could all move to a different hotel but really too late to move 6-7 rooms worth of people less than 2 weeks before. So we took our chances. I thought our room was okay. We had a room on first floor (maybe 102?) right down the hall from the lobby desk. It was fine, not noticeably dirty or anything but needed an update. Not much of a view (sort of looked out to courtyard where the small pool was, but view partialy blocked by corner of building). Bathroom etc was fine -- they resupplied everything each day. I found the lobby personnel to be just fine -- not overly friendly but they were always helpful w/any of my requests for map to local stores, other questions etc. Due to busy schedules etc, we ended up eating in the hotel sports bar for dinner 2 nights in a row. Fare is very simple (sandwiches, burgers). I had some really good hot wings one night, a BLT sandiwch the next. Breakfast buffet was adequate (muffins, bagels, cereal, fresh fruit) - similar to what you find at other hotels. I think maybe some of the reviews are from people who don't take into account that Armonk is an expensive area so $150/night hotel is on the cheap side and you get what you pay for. They should have seen the suite I paid $300/night (after taxes) in NYC -- it was ok but nothing luxurkious. So -- do not be afraid but adjust your expectations to the price. One final point - my husband reminded me that they said they were going to be starting a major remodel at the hotel in Sept06 completing in Dec 06.

This hotel gave me the worst experience I ever had in the Westchester area. Poor service, dirty rooms, unfriendly staff. Why do they continue offering this kind of service???? AVOID THIS HOTEL

We stayed at this hotel the last night of our vacation. We would never stay at a Wellesley property again. We felt deceived by the booking agents in both cases. The hotel hallways were littered with garbage left by guests. The continental breakfast was poor. There is no elevator, which is a distinct disadvantage if you have more than one piece of luggage to carry down the long and widing hallways. There was a water stain in the ceiling of our room and a persistent dripping, origin unknown.

If you are booking to stay here, don't be taken in by the booking agent's description that it's a nice or newly renovated property - it's not. We think it was sold off as outdated by another chain to Wellesley.

Want good value and clean rooms? We recommend the Holiday Inn Express, in either Poughkeepsie or Renssalaer.

A total dump - avoid at all costs. I'm in shock that someone gave it 4 stars - it absolutely can not be accurate.
