Great location and beautiful grounds. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. Matt, who checked us in was beyond friendly and went over everything we needed to know. The breakfast was better than I expected- nice variety with healthy options.
Was pleasantly surprised to see there were healthy breakfast items, such as boiled eggs, avocados, plant based yogurt and milk.
Room was very clean and bed was comfortable.
The concierge lent me his laptop charger since I forgot mine. There were deer outside the window when we ate breakfast! The breakfast had GF options and REAL FOOD not just pre-packaged bready items. The campus was clean and quaint. Everybody was friendly. And it was a short drive to the town of New Paltz and all of our hiking adventures on the mountain. Also the price tag was very affordable. I hope to come back again soon!
Perfect stay close to Mohonk Mountain House. The breakfast buffet was an added bonus. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had all the essentials.
Beautiful, the staff was amazing I called and said we were coming for my mom’s birthday and they put balloons in the room!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was clean, and the staff was nice. A little outdated with the furnishings. Was very noisy with the guests up above us most of the night. It snowed & parking was terrible with over crowding. Snow plowing could have been taken care of a little better.Lastly, at what the price for rooms cost here @ the lodge, at least make sure to fix the toilet seat so it stays up when usung it in room108..
