Mohonk Mountain House
Most participants stay at the Mohonk Mountain House (MMH). Reservations should be made through a special website (a link will be provided later). After all reserved rooms are taken, reservations will be accepted on a space-available basis only. Reservations must be made by contacting the hotel directly using the provided URL. When making reservations, please identify yourself as part of the IEEE group to obtain the workshop rate (a group code will be provided later).
Daily Rates
The original daily rates for the single or double rate are as follows:
| Single Rate, Per Person, Per Night | Double Rate, Per Person, Per Night | |
| Original Rate | $459 | $344 |
| After Registration Credit | $284 | $169 |
Please note that part of MMH’s original rates is moved to WASPAA 2023 registrations fees (i.e., $175 X 3 nights, per person). This amount of $525 is already included in your registration fees, while it will show up as a credit on your hotel bill, effectively reducing the hotel’s cost.
These rates are Full American plan rates, which include three consecutive meals daily, beginning with dinner on the day of arrival through lunch on the day of departure. Additional daily charges will apply for each additional person (up to four people per room) as follows:
- Children Under 4 – Stay Free
- Children 4 – 12 years old – $170.00 per person
- Children/Adult – 13 & Over – $250.00 per person
Day Attendee Charges
For workshop attendees not lodging at Mohonk House, in addition to workshop registration, there is a $175 fee per day required to enter the facilities maintained by MMH. However, this year your workshop registration covers this part, meaning there won’t be any day fees. Meanwhile, the day fee covers lunch but not breakfast or dinner for non-Mohonk attendees, which could be available for an additional charge (rate will be available later). Attendees not staying at MMH will be contacted in mid-September to specify their attendance details and arrange for the additional payment.

Dress code
Attendees who are arriving early or staying late should be aware that the Mountain House requires gentlemen to wear jackets for dinner in the main dining room. However, because the workshop has its own dining room for dinner, jackets are not required during the workshop.
Check-in/check-out
Check-in begins after 4:00 pm, and check-out time is 2:00 pm. Participants may arrive earlier than the check-in time; the Mountain House will store any baggage until the rooms are ready.

Since a great number of the workshop attendees come from outside of the US, it is of great interest to note that Stewart International Airport in Newburgh (SWF/KSWF) is the closest such airport. Mohonk Mountain House is 25 miles from the Stewart International Airport, 70 miles from Albany Airport, and less than 100 miles from New York City area airports.
Useful information regarding ground transportation from these vicinity airports to Mohonk is gathered in the following:
- Stewart International Airport: For Taxi/Limousine Service, the airport recommends Visconti Ground Transport Service located near Baggage Claim. A one-way trip takes about 25 minutes.
- Albany International Airport: A list of taxi/limousine services can be found on the airport’s webpage. Buses and car rentals are also available. A one-way trip takes about 70 minutes.
- For those who fly to one of NYC international airports (Newark, JFK), there is a bus from NYC port authority to New Paltz. Follow this link. You may then contact Mohonk Mountain House to arrange free shuttle pickup from/to New Paltz bus station.
