The motel has been completely renovated. They did a great job of preserving its character outside while the inside felt like a modern hotel. The private beach was perfect. We will definitely be back.

We had a girls trip last week (two 17 year olds) and two mom's. We rented the Family Suite and it was PERFECT! It was extremely clean, well lit and everything had obviously just been renovated. The kitchen had all new appliances. The beds were super comfortable with plenty of comfy pillows. Sheets were good quality and there were plenty of towels. The kitchen was well stocked if you wanted to cook. TV's were great and had Netflix etc. Shower pressure was good and lots of hot water. The small private beach area was perfect with lots of lounge and Adirondak chairs available as well as picnic table and fire pit. There were peddle boats and paddle boards available at no charge. Quiet lake with no motor boats, just very peaceful. We will definitely return was a lovely place and so close to Lake George Village and the outlets/restaurants.

We arrived at the property and found that we had to walk up a lot stairs which didn’t have enough rallying for anyone that needed it. My husband walks with a cane and had a hard time. The living room only had one couch and a very small table with 2 chairs. The living room had an AC unit but not in the bedroom, we had to use a floor stand fan which didn’t make the room any cooler. The bathroom was small and the shower stall was small you could even turn around In it. I thought I was getting a kitchen but it was only a mini fridge and a tiny stove. The one good thing was the porch which we spent a lot of time on it at night. The pool was good but the area where the beach was, was two driveways down the road and you were supposed to be able to fish there but it wasn’t what the website said. The place needs a lot of updates. I don’t think we will be visiting this place in the future. We were so excited to go on vacation but was disappointed. Staff was friendly. We should of done a little more research.

The heated pool was very nice, could have used a vacuum but was overall nice. The lake property was extremely well kept and fun. Rooms are a bit weathered but clean, beds wildly uncomfortable. Have not seen a single staff member, check in is through a text. Overall pretty good for the price, the lake view is worth it alone.

Upon reaching the motel and seeing the sign, I was wondering if I’d made a mistake. The sign is something out of a horror movie and is in need of some repair. The parking lot is definitely sufficient for the number of rooms, paved, and in good shape. I had received the code to the room (not key locks) before leaving so we were able to get into our room which was good because there was nobody in the office. The room itself was very clean, clearly renovated, and nicely decorated. It was not the highest quality renovation but definitely nice. There were 2 bedrooms (I booked the suite so we could have a separate space from the teenage girls), a living room, fully applianced kitchen, and a bathroom. Air conditioners were running throughout so the suite was comfortable. Our bedroom had a full size bed and the girls’ room had 2 full size beds. Each room and the living room had wall mounted flat screen tv’s. The motel is right on the lake and outside amenities included small boats (no motors), a floating dock to swim to, roped off swimming area, fire pit, lounge chairs, 2 barbecue grills, and some patio games. We were only there the night as a stop over so we didn’t partake in any outdoor activities. When we left, there was nobody in the office, so I guess that checkout was just understood. I haven’t received any communication or final receipt either. I would stay here again if passing through but the price was a bit high for just passing through.

The space was recently remodeled and it actually extremely nice. However, if you are on the pool side of the motel access to the lake isn’t easy it’s actually two separate motel buildings. The room doors stuck and you had to slam shut or slam open to be able to get them open which caused noise for other rooms. Check in and out was odd as no one was actually in the office to check in or out with so we received an email for electronic access to the room and check out we had to call to let them know we were leaving. Overall for a quick weekend it was a nice space and not far from plenty of attractions.

This was our first family trip to the Lake Luzerne/Lake George area. The family suite was a perfect fit for our family of 7! Highly recommend Motel Luzerne to anyone who enjoys a clean, quiet, comfortable and an aesthetically pleasing place to stay. Our family thoroughly enjoyed having lake access as well as a heated pool. We spent most of our time grilling, fishing, boating and swimming! 10/10 - We will back in the near future for another stay! Thank you for making our 2025 family vacation enjoyably comfortable!

We stayed in the Sunrise Kitchen. It's the only room that directly overlooks the lake. The pictures on theirs and other websites are exactly what you get. Everything was clean and well maintained. They have 2 grills avaliable and a fire pit as well some games to play as well like Connect 4 and Jenga. Although they say its a quick drive to get to either the property with the pool or property with the lake we walked and it was a 2 minute walk. We ate at the Vested Veteran Grill which is a 5 minute drive. It was very good. Overall a great place and would 100% stay again.
