Review of Mohonk Mountain House

4 years ago

Pros:

Pros:
-Beautiful grounds/scenery
-Kid + family friendly
-Many activities
-Staff and grounds were very COVID compliant

Cons:
-Extremely expensive for the quality and service (they include a daily 15% gratuity per room as well as an auto-gratuity for any alcoholic beverages purchased)
-The food quality is mediocre
-You need to make reservations for every activity, including lunch/dinner (which we were never told at check-in).
-I found the majority of the staff to be unfriendly (this could in part be because nobody wanted to work amidst a pandemic)
-Many of the activities weren't available due to COVID but the pricing stayed the same (we wanted to rent mountain bikes and were told that it would be $30/person).
-Not many areas for adults to enjoy peace and tranquility (mostly due to the fact that adult + children areas were intermixed)

Overall:
5 star prices for 2 star food and service. If you're a young couple looking for a peaceful weekend getaway then I'd consider looking elsewhere.
