Kate's Lazy Meadow Motel ReviewIf someone told you a member of the New Wave band The B-52s bought and renovated a 1950s motel in the Catskills, you might imagine it would look . . . exactly like this. Kate is Kate Pierson of that famously buoyant band from Athens, Georgia, and she and a team of hip designers from New York City have created a retro-kitsch retreat, a Love Shack in the mountains, for those cool enough to appreciate it. The funky motel rooms all burst with bright colors, paneled walls, and hip, Jetsons-esque mid-20th-century furnishings. Several rooms have kitchenettes. One unit is pet-friendly (as long as your mutt doesn't weigh more than 25 lb.). Kate's Lazy Meadow certainly achieves what it sets out to do, even if you do get the feeling you're paying a premium for the name recognition and novelty. For extra-retro kitsch, there's now also a stable of a half-dozen Airstream trailers down by the creek; if you're traveling with kids, check out the family-friendly cabins.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
