Suspicious electrical!

Old motel. We needed a place to sleep. My friend was sick and I didn’t have much time to search. The weekend was very busy and rooms were very expensive. We were just passing through. Mattresses were awful. Room seemed clean enough. No plugs except this mess under TV!

The motel was very clean but nothing fancy. It was a room for the night. Nothing I would want to stay long term at.

You get what you pay for. The motel seems nice enough. But I would definitely not walk barefoot on the carpet, they need a deep clean. When a looked under the bed, to see that there was nothing there that we might forgotten, there were 2 water bottles and a bunch of pretzels, and a lot of dust. It hasmt bee n vacuumed in a vary long while. The rest of the room itself was quite old but. The bed was clean and that's what really matters.The rest was OK, it's needs to get renovated, I think it dates back to the fifties.

Staff was very nice and respectful, parking was a little tight a couple days but to be expected with music festival. Water pressure and temperature of water in shower was amazing! Would definitely recommend as a place to stay and if I return would check in availability here first.

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 The room was a bit outdated.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

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.
