I am investigating venues for a hiking group for a weekend. One of my options is The Cambridge Hotel.

Anybody been?

Food?

Accomodations?

Staff?

etc...

Many thanks!

It has been awhile since I've been, but it was pretty good and a good value. Cambridge, N.Y. is a beautiful area. What are your other options?

The Sterling Inn in South Sterling, PA

The trip needs to be affordable ...its a hiking club so not really necessary to be a "foodie" event, however I sure would rather have better food all things being equal!

I don't think you would go wrong in Cambridge. That area has to be one of the most beautiful on the east coast. There are also plenty of high quality, artisanal farms in the area. The Inn is a very good value.

Another great value at the moment is The Inn at Erlowest on Lake George. It is an area with great hiking. The food is wonderful and the rooms spectacular and dirt cheap right now.

Thanks for the input.

We have gone with the Cambridge Inn weekend of 10-7 to 10-9.

We are taking it over basically and will use the Rice Mansion as "overflow".

Maybe we'll see you around then!

BTW, I agree with your thoughts on Inn at Erlowest.

The carrot soup that FatCatBrew so much enjoyed was mine!

:laugh::laugh: Glad you enjoyed it! The food at the Cambridge Hotel is good, but no match for Erlowest. In fairness, it is quite a bit less expensive though.

The Albany Times-Union newspaper recently reported that Ronald Reda, who spent five years as a White House chef, has taken over as Executive Chef. A new menu will be in place by the end of the month. John LaPosta has departed to "pursue new interests".
