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 A little outdated with the furnishings.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..

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!
