Very nice and helpful man at the front desk when checking in and out. The room was exactly like the pictures online. It was reasonably priced, easy to find and close to the main strip in Lake George. The room was a bit outdated. But it was very clean and I’m very OCD and germophobic. Bathroom was clean. Towels/washcloths were kind of small and old, but clean. AC was nice and cold and refrigerator worked well.
A few things that could have been better. The first morning we were woken up about 8:00 am by housekeeping to see if we’d need any services that day. I went with my adult daughter and we had a long drive and did a lot of walking the day before. Then stayed up late talking. So 8:00 am on vacation was a bit early to be woken up.
Also the door was not very secure. It only locked on the inside with the deadbolt. But when we left could only lock by pushing the door handle button in and turning it. There was a gap in the door so the light shone through and could very easily have been kicked in. Also the curtains in the bathroom had a hard time staying closed together and were see through so made using the bathroom a bit uncomfortable.
But otherwise I would definitely recommend and would stay again should we visit that area :)
Rooms were ok for just a few days could use updating, rugs were old, furniture broken the loveseat was broken legs, coffee pot very short cord had to make sure it didn’t fall off by fridge. Arrived and window was open and AC was in room was nice cold and unable to out anything down as it was all moist. Someone was sitting outside our window which was creepy and smoking heard their conversation they should have moved to their chairs by their room. Microwave was bey inconvenient outside at end of building by the time you heated your food it was cold again. Need them in the rooms like other hotels. Tv was hard to turn on should have been placed on wall beds need to be a bit softer AC and heaters need updated what we did like was the convenience of the trolley ride outside our room takes you to downtown lake George no worries about finding parking. Will stay again in future. Thanks again

Overpriced! This is basically a dive motel close to Lake George. Room was dusty, walls are paper thin.

Cute spot for our weekend getaway.
Perfect for what we needed for our Great Escape trip. We stayed 2 nights. Room was clean. Location was great, we were minutes away from the strip and the Great Escape. Parking is a little awkward, but it worked. Overall pleased with our stay. We definitely would stay again.
Ali was attentive, courteous, he went above and beyond for us. Room was clean and cozy. Pool water was clean, cool and refreshing. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Great location for the town. It’s a place to sleep but if you’re spending a lot of time at the hotel, I recommend somewhere else.

Good stay for a few nights. Rooms are very outdated. A few cosmetic issues that they fixed for us. A two minute drive to lake George downtown.
Certain parts of the property are dated and have not been renovated yet, but you can see they're still working on bring everything up-to-date.
As we entered the room, it smelt quite nice. We were pleasantly surprised.The bed was a bit firm, but comfortable. The shower and shower head were showing their age. The carpet needs a good wash.
Reasonably priced motel for a resort area. Beds are ok. Quiet. Easy access to lake George. Owner could pay attention to small details: flowers in empty flower containers, unplanted flower beds. Not a criticism, just an observation
Ali was so pleasant to deal with. We arrived 2 hrs before checkin and our room was ready! We asked for a 1st floor, end room and that's was we had.
It's a bit dated but it was clean and reasonably priced.
