Mohonk Preserve Visitor Center

Room was clean and comfortable with a very spacious bathroom. Hotel decor is updated/contemporary, and breakfast was great; diferent options were available each of the 3 days we stayed, and it was kept well stocked for the entire breakfast duration. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our only difficulty was the $240 deposit that was put on my card at check-in; after carefully budgeting our family's trip (on my teacher salary) and prepaying all of our lodging, this added unexpected stress. The deposit appeared as a pending charge, effectively making the card unuseable without transferring a huge sum of money from another account. I hope the hotel (and/or the company) considers a change in policy that is more welcoming such as putting a card number on file in case of incidentals rather than assuming that every guest will cause damage to the facility. (The 4 other hotels we stayed at during our East Coast road trip did just that.)
