For shabbos-
Also where would teens feel more comfortable-
And where would a Lakewood family/ not chassidish fit in most?
Which place costs less?

Any input much appreciated!

Definitely Melour. You get way more for your money. Better & more food, stunning grounds, more to do.
Raleigh is run down, food is buffet style self service. They give bare minimum, no extras. They're very expensive for what you're getting. Melour may be a bit more expensive, but you get more for your money.

I don’t understand the armon. It looks nice but the website says that it does not include food…

Where is malon? What does it look like? Is there a website?

Armnon is not open with food year round but they do have some summer shabbosim programs so it's an option if you get the number for the programs. You can't book a room online and expect to be included in someone's shabbos meals. It's separate booking/program.

Malon is not opening for guests until winter.

If you want to go to Armon for shabbos, you have to book through the shabbos program.
Malon is not open yet.

They're advertised in the local papers. There's a shabbos program there every shabbos.

There is an amazing program this week run by Majestic Events. They are doing it in the Hilton in Stamford CT.
Their program is a very mixed crowd -all types.
Their contact info is 347-622-3096.

Hatzlacha in your decision!

Yes this is what I was referring to.
We went 2 years ago with them and really enjoyed.
