We where there this winter, please don't waste your money on this! They charged us full price even if there was no pool, gym, & most amenities they advertised. The "resteraunt" has a set menu which was the same measly meal all week for $75 per person per meal! Breakfast was measly as well. The shabbos meals where nothing special either. No dessert, they advertise that they bring out a Viennese table which there wasn't. Melava malka was also very measly... Just over shabbos was $900 a couple & we barely got anything. I can go on & on. We where so disappointed. We where so ripped off. You can get a week in Florida for one weekend there.

Just rent a condo and kasher the kitchen. We've done it in NH many times. Lots of kosher food available at local supermarkets. And if you want a minyan, look for a place at or near Loon Mountain.

I was dreaming of sitting in to a hotel and being served kosher food. No schlepping

I heard amazing feedback from acquaintances that were just there. Food, service, and overall experience was worth the money they spent.
Personally, I think it's way overpriced. I got a price quote of nearly $10,000 for 1 week in July for a medium sized family.

Nothing like heimishe hype and marketing.
The schools the vocational courses
The clothes
The food products
The restaurants
Shidduchim
The media
All the same...Got to love it

Maybe in the summer when it's more full they step up? It makes sense to maybe step down in the winter when it's not so busy, but if they did that they should lower the price as well. They are grossly overpriced.

Did I just write this post? Not a comparison in caliber, but definitely more in range for our family size. somehow, Oppenheimer's keeps pulling us back!

I loved it there. Make sure elevators are finished the instalation. And make sure pool is ready. Yes its expensive. But if Hashem blessed you with the extra use it gezunterheit. Only waldorf astoria can be overpriced? Food was very nice. Deserts and vieniss I dont remember. Maybe desert is not their strongest. We visited july 2016. If desert is better now feel free to correct me. My husband is picky sith food and he was ok. I looooved their salads. Had tons of variety. Big lobby with plenty of couches. Highly recommended. For my pocket to go agai. Would mean another credit card swipe bit if you can handle the expense go ahead and enjoy being in an all kosher hotel and not just looking all what the [gentile] can eat at another hotel.

I was in the Arlington Hotel last week. We had a great experience. Place is beautiful, fresh, new and best of all CLEAN!
Food was tasty and generous.... Breakfast is included and is delicious. Shabbos food was delicious! Melava Malka was awesome! So many delicious choices!
Staff is very nice and accommodating.
Pool and Jacuzzi are beautiful!
Bh My husband, daughter and myself enjoyed and it was money well spent.
The only "issue"... there isn't much grounds or privacy though...
We did this as part of a mini road trip and the pull was mostly not having to shlep or be busy with food... We got to relax and be served!

I was there about 2 weeks ago. The out of season room prices were actually not overpriced AT ALL they were rather cheap. Yes I was dissapointed that they charged 75$ per person for dinner especially since in the off season they only offer one set meal no menu, although it was a completely diff dinner both nights that we stayed there. The food was good but not amazing. Breakfast buffet is free has a great variety and was really delicious.
The reason I chose this hotel was because I knew that it was new and clean. In that area they did not disappoint.
The pool was open.
Overall it was a nice experience, but if you are a foodie, the off season is not for you, and you might want to find out how the meals are during the summer season to make sure you get your money's worth.
I got a great deal , stayed for a short time and really enjoyed it.
There is very little privacy outside your own room, heimish atmosphere with frum ppl mulling around. Definitely very family friendly.

Glad to hear the pool is open. How does it work with both frum and non-frum clientele - do they have separate hours for men and women?

I've never been.
but it sounds like they are priced similar to the Raleigh or Chalet with much nicer accommodations. Is that true?

There are separate hours for men, women & then for the general public.
