<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm taking my D up for an overnight orientation the beginning of April and I'm looking for lodging as close to WP as I can get. When we were up over the summer, I noticed some smaller, non-chain motels that looked nice on the main road to WP. Cost is an issue, but I want someplace clean and safe.</p>
<p>Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Go to <a href="http://www.usma.edu%5B/url%5D">www.usma.edu</a> On the left side of the web page is a link for traveling to West Point. Click it..on the next page you will see a lodging link. This will bring you to a page listing hotels/motels in the area. Good luck.</p>
<p>You might try the Holiday Inn Express in Fort Montgomery. It's clean, cheap and close to West Point.</p>
<p>There is also an Econo Lodge in Highland Falls. I haven't stayed there myself yet but I have reservations for next August. I asked for feedback on this hotel over on the "service academy parents" forum. The comments were positive, basically the place is nothing fancy but it is clean - which is all I care about.</p>
<p>WE stayed at the Peekskill Inn for R-Day... across the Bear Mtn Bridge but only 10 miles away--slightly curvey road... maybe 15 minutes to Thayer gate...</p>
<p>I like it, decent little restaurant, nice hudson view... definitely not fancy, but clean</p>
