My wife and I were working with Holiday Inn at Peekskill, NY for 2 years for our dream Hallowedding. We have had to push it back 2 years due to the pandemic. We finally had our dream hallowedding on 10/21/22. We rented the Hudson room for rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding. The fee was affordable and the space was big enough to hold everyone and more. When we checked in, the front desk stated this is for the "Bride and Groom" -- as a queer couple, we always hear people assuming we are straight. It's quite exhausting to still hear this. Our suggestion to the Holiday Inn Express at Peekskill, NY (we have also emailed this request) to opt for another way to state a couple/newlyweds. If anything, ask how people identify and what terminology you wish for them to use.
Everyone who booked a room to stay at the hotel complained about the same things. The beds are really really hard and the pillows (despite saying firm) are too soft, our heads just fall into the mattress). I hope the hotel can at least update the beds in the near future -- too hard to sleep on more than one night. To counter the bed situation, the shower was out of this world. Usually, you go to a hotel and the pressure is bad and you cannot get hot enough water. The shower was amazing!!! The breakfast...My wife and I were working with Holiday Inn at Peekskill, NY for 2 years for our dream Hallowedding. We have had to push it back 2 years due to the pandemic.

We had to use this hotel with our Hallowedding because of the package of using the shuttle to pick up our guests from here to the venue and back. Overall, our experience was good, just wish there was a more queer-friendly experience when checking in for our wedding. More
