This was in July, when I spent two nights at the all-inclusive Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York. With a starting rate of $1,400 a night for double occupancy (though Business Insider received a media rate), my booking included meals and access to most of the hotel’s activities.
Overall, I had a blast…
