A trip to this resort was my Christmas gift to my husband. We drove there (albeit, quite a long drive for us) for the "Jazz on the Mountain" weekend. We had a great time. The price per night included three meals and the entertainment. We thought that the price was great for what it included. Each meal included 2 appetizers, the main course and dessert for each guest. You could pick off a menu with a select few items, which were phenomenal. The chef was excellent and the ingredients were always fresh. I am sure the restaurant is probably one of the top in the State. Alcohol was charged extra. You could eat in the formal dining room, the main dining room (buffet) or in your room. Be careful, however, because the meals are served during specific times, so you have a small window of opportunity to enjoy each meal. I strongly suggest calling the resort before your arrival to make your dinner reservations. Have a schedule ahead of time so you can be sure to enjoy all three meals and the amenities. With the room, which was beautiful and had a real wood-burning fireplace, we had access to the workout facility and free admission to the shows. The Jazz artists that performed were excellent and included Grammy-award winner Paquito D'Rivera. You did not have to pay extra to see the shows. The show started on Friday night, followed by three shows on Saturday, three shows on Sunday, and the final show on Monday morning. It was definitely worth it, especially for jazz lovers. Check out their website www.mohonk.com, for upcoming specials and packages. I would like to go back during the Spring or Summer, just to enjoy the beauty of the mountains. The only reason I did not give this an Excellent rating is because the rooms could use a bit of an update and because I felt the resort was a little drafty at times. Of course, it is a 142-year old mountain house, so that should be expected. If you go during the winter time, pack an extra sweater and some outerwear. You definitely want to enjoy the outdoors.
