I didn’t go to it (I brought from home) but you can google map the distance. I think it all depends on what activities you plan to do. Lake Placid is gorgeous! Albany, is not

This I know Sad

I guess we'll figure it out.
Either way we won't starve LOL

We live in the NYC area. Usually, our family takes a 2 day summer vacation to some place up to a 4 hour drive away, and we stay in a hotel and do local things. It's the only time the whole year that we go away, including chagim. It's not much, but the kids look forward to it all year and are so excited.

This year, for various reasons, dh is not able to take off any days from work. I'm trying to figure out if we can go away for a Shabbos and Sunday instead, which seems to be the only possibility.

But, we have constraints: Money is tight, so I'd much prefer to use points, which rules out something like air bnb or kosher hotels afaik. And, dh won't go to a hotel where we'd be stuck in the hotel room the whole shabbos, whether bec of the muktzah key, or bec there's no place to go outside the hotel.

Please, I'm desperate for any and all suggestions.

Bumping this up, as I have the same situation as OP this summer.

For those who go away to hotels for shabbos, what exactly do you do to entertain your children all shabbos? Does anyone have experience with parks to visit or shabbos afternoon get-togethers in the nearby shuls?
