New Paltz, NY is a quaint (yet funky) little town mid-way between
Albany and NYC (in the heart of the Hudson Valley). Click HERE for information on
New Paltz presented by the chamber
of commerce. While in town, try to make time to hike in our local
mountains (the Shawangunks; see: http://www.mohonkpreserve.org
and: http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=78).
LODGING:
There are two relatively small
inns that are within walking distance of campus and several other
hotels, motels, and resorts in the immediate vicinity of New Paltz.
Here is a suggested list of options. Note that, as is always true, it
would probably be wise to make reservations as soon as possible.
.
1. The Inn at
Orchard Heights is fine bed and breakfast which is willing to offer a
special rate
for NEEPS members during the conference ($100/night). See:
http://www.innatorchardheights.com
to reserve a room and/or for information.
2. The LeFevre House is another fine inn that is directly across from
the campus (Website:
http://www.lefevrehouse.com).
3. The Minnewaska Lodge is a beautiful new structure that is about a
10-minute drive from campus. It is adjacent to the cliffs of the
Shawangunk mountains and is simply a very high-quality option (see: http://www.minnewaskalodge.com/).
They also are offering a special conference
rate for NEEPS members ($135-$155 / night plus tax; Call them at:
845-255-1110).
4. The Mohonk Mountain House a world-renowned resort, is a historical
landmark that sits atop a
breathtaking mountain 15 minutes from campus. Not cheap (... OK - it's VERY
EXPENSIVE) - but if you
have the bucks, it's an incredible place. Website:
http://www.mohonk.com.
5. The New
Paltz Super 8 is about a 5-minute drive to campus and is offering rooms
at rates in the $60-$70 range during the conference. See: Website:
http://www.super8newpaltz.com.
