The hotels within a short drive of Skidmore College are mostly chains and mid-scale boxes on the approach roads. The ones above are the independent alternatives — inns, converted buildings and small design hotels run by the people who own them. Each has a Le Hotelist Score built from five sub-scores (design, location, service, value, quiet), and the distance shown is straight-line; real drive times run a little longer on back roads.
