Hotel Mtk Mount Kisco

I was here as my wife was working at the nearby Genesis Saw Mill Club, for which this location is absolutely perfect! Essentially it pretty much borders the club, which can be reached with a five minute walk. As far as I can tell, it is pretty much the only hotel in Mt. Kisco and it is pretty large, replete with long corridors and many rooms. I understand it is an ex- Holiday Inn judging by the address etc, but is now part of the Hilton brand. It's a perfectly fine place to stay. We were warmly welcomed and the staff were always keen to help, including storing our bags for us on the last day. It seemed a trifle strange that they couldn't accommodate our request for a couple of hours late check out since the hotel seemed far from full but that's obviously up to them and probably a policy since we lack elite Hilton status. The hotel is decidedly dated and, frankly, in need of a revamp. It puts one in mind of hotels I stayed in during the 80s. It is a two story building with a large footprint meaning a very long corridor of rooms stretching into the distance. The Overlook Hotel in the Shining comes, rather disconcertingly, to mind although it is not at all creepy I hasten to add. The red walls and slightly garish carpet all strike me as of a different time. Fairly low ceilings speak to the same design elements in play a few decades ago. The rooms themselves, of which more in a minute, are perfectly comfortable but there are signs of wear in the hotel as a whole; threadbare carpets on the main staircase out of the lobby etc. The rooms themselves are traditional, and were very clean when we were there. The bathroom is small with an inadequate shower over a shallow tub (unusable as a soaking tub) which is a throwback to a design now obsolete. More and more hotels now have the infinitely preferable walk in shower arrangement. The location and the room seemed secure but there was no in room safe that I could find. I doubt much money has been spent on renovations here for many a year. Honestly, perhaps they don't need to. Being the only hotel here has its advantages of course! It does the basics perfectly well although breakfast wasn't included in our rate and was a tad expensive. We didn't get to eat an evening meal here so can't comment on the catering. All is all, it is a somewhat tired hotel but perfectly adequate and clean, with friendly staff which is always a plus. I wonder what the future holds though, because I wouldn't want to see it after another few years without a substantial refurb.

It has the longest corridor I have ever seen in a hotel!

Very comfortable stay. Well kept & clean.
