Mohonk Mountain House

We had an excellent time. I think that dress is important for dinner. Although this stay both dining rooms were not open and we were never told this. Therefore we have folks in tee shirts and shorts next to us which I did not like or appreciate.

The staff is exemplary. That needs to be said up front. Friendliness is the key word, and everyone employed there knows everything about everything in the hotel, so no "I'll see if I can find out for you".

There are programs for children from ages 2 to 7 and some for older kids, and there's babysitting included, so this is a true family resort. I've never seen so many little children in one place, and so beautifully behaved that even this oldster enjoyed their company. The age range of guests we encountered was 3 months to 90+ years, and all having a wonderful time. The only complaint I can muster is that the smell of the building--that old-wood, old-carpeting, and wood-smoke mustiness--was pervasive and took some getting used to. But that's part of the charm of an historic hotel maintained in period style. Once we rest up and recover from our zealous attack on the outdoors, Read more
