Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the room had a beautiful balcony right on the water, it was lacking enough chairs and towels. The service was a bit disappointing due to a member in our party complaining about the room not being as advertised and the presence of a moldy stench. The location, however, was excellent, being close to tourist attractions and cafes. The facilities were decent, with room for improvement.
The hotel is situated on the beautiful lake, offering a convenient location close to everything in Lake George. The rooms, although spacious and modern, have some substandard conditions and lack sufficient amenities like chairs and towels. The service is friendly, but there were complaints about the room not meeting expectations. The dining experience lacked variety but featured a delicious stewed partridge. Overall, the facilities are well-maintained, making for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is ideally situated on the beautiful lake, providing easy access to tourist attractions and a public beach. The rooms are in substandard condition with granite countertops and a long 'Balcony. ' While the service was helpful, there were complaints about room conditions and a noticeable moldy smell. The dining experience offered buttery croissants, but the facilities seemed lacking. Overall, the location and friendly staff were highlights despite room issues and limited amenities.
