Had a nice fall getaway in this great little spot in Lake George Village. Friendly staff. Clean room. Awesome view of the lake - especially recommend view of the sunrise just steps from your room. Be aware of parking and while rooms are smoke free, the property is not. Could still smell neighbors smoking cigarettes outside on porch.

Parking is a huge issue here……there was problems with internet and cable……the lake side decks are really nice and the outdoor fireplace is beautiful

We do acknowledge that parking can be an issue here at times. We have more than enough spaces for all of our rooms, however folks don't always abide by the one car rule or have the larger SUV's or trucks. I am sorry you had problems with the internet, that occasionally happens. The views of the lake are amazing, the free kayaks and paddle boards are a sweet treat and the nightly activities are not too shabby either.

Cozy little gem on Canada Street
We planned a last minute get away to Lake George for the night and decided to stay on the water in the village so we'd have an easy walk to the upper part of the strip. Check in was freindly and straight forward. Lobby had coffee/tea and lots of info on local attractions and places to eat. Rooms must have been recently renovated. They were lovely, neat and pretty comfortable. Though it was a rainy weekend, there were plently of fun spots to visit with views of the lake. From the walk we took out onto the uncovered patios and the dock area, it looks like a great place to enjoy the lake on warmer days and very suitable for all ages. It was a very easy walk to many of the traditional Lake George attractions. Can't wait to go back for a longer stay.

We were looking to just get away for the day and decided to come up to Lake George. Unfortunately, most of the stores along the strip don't stay open very long midweek. The room here was spacious and quite comfortable. The folks at the front desk where quite welcoming. I would certainly come back again.

The lake motel was clean. Room is small but sufficient. Free kayaking and paddleboarding are nice extras. Keith( part of staff) was awesome. He makes you want to go back there.

The property was in a great location. The pool was on the smaller side but had plenty of lounge chairs around it and it wasn’t really busy during my stay. No beach area for sitting so that was a bit of a drawback and the lake area for swimming was roped off and very small but plenty of room for a couple of kids. Kayaks and paddle boards were a huge bonus I thought as they are free and were available to use when we were ready to go out on the lake. The deck was small overlooking the lake but very quaint and the only hotel with a deck that had chairs to enjoy the lake breeze. The rooms were small but did the job- bathroom and shower are roomy I thought- we stayed in an inside room (room 11). Parking was awful !!! Very tight to get in and out of the hotel and no room to turn around but we always had a parking spot. Thursday night they do fireworks on the lake which is really nice- they had an ice cream truck on the property selling ice cream but it was blocking the way to get in and out of the property- we were stuck on the main road at 9:30 pm trying to get to our room which is extremely dangerous and I don’t think the owners should allow the ice cream truck to block patrons from getting in and out of the parking lot. Beds are very uncomfortable- it is just a mattress (thin one) on a wooden noisy platform. Walls are paper thin- we heard the couple next door to us fighting over money- we could hear every word they said- then the next night we heard them having Sex.

Our property is narrow but I think you will agree we do make the most of every inch of space. Yes the parking can be tight but by your admission you did always have a parking spot. When you checked in it should have been explained to you that the ice cream truck is on property at 9 p.m. with FREE ice cream for all of our guests, it is parked opposite room 9 for a reason. She leaves as the fireworks begins. In the several years we have been doing this she has never blocked onto the main road,that would be dangerous I agree. I am sorry that your mattress was uncomfortable but if you had come to the office and spoken to me we could have switched it to a firmer one. On a good note, the guests next to you made up!!

Property sits on Lake George and is the quaint, old fashioned, wood-panelled motel in the '50's style w/ modern uogrades. Unfortunately, depending on who you get as a neighbor, it could be loud with little consideration if loudness. I'd gi again if I could get a room close to the lake.
