This will be our go-to place whenever we visit our daughter at college. The Minnewaska Lodge is in a beautiful spot. The common area and most rooms have a view of the Shawangunk cliffs. It’s a great place to relax after a hard day of skiing, climbing or hiking.

Room was clean and comfortable, perhaps a bit noisy as you could hear guests upstairs walking around. Lodge has potential to be a first class property with a bit more polishing. Staff was nice enough but didnt as about our stay at checkout. In sum, everything was "nice enough" but for the price a chain hotel is just as good.

Maggie the receptionist was very pleasant. The breakfast was the best I have ever seen at a hotel. There were eggs, gluten free baked items, avacado, cereal, waffles, sausage, fruit, muffins, bagels, tea, coffee. All overlooking the back hill. The room was spacious. There are trail off the back of the property. The German resteraunt ( Mountain Brewhous) across the street was great. The wait staff wears German costumes. We went hiking in Minnewaska state park and saw the waterfall.

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 A little outdated with the furnishings.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!
