Marilyn, Ballston Lake

The front desk clerk refused to honor my request for a first floor room due to a recent knee injury. He said I would have to pay $75 more for a king delux room. I had secured a standard double king room through Expedia. He then said I could have a first floor queen room but he could not guarantee it - he would leave it as a “note” on my reservation. I would have to go to the Inn to see about availability. I was not going to drive 3 hrs to learn whether I could have a first floor room or not. I did not check in as I was very concerned about stairs leading to a further injury. Apparently this Inn refuses to acknowledge the Americans With Disabilities Act. Interestingly, the other inns I booked with Expedia gladly found me a first floor room.

Very nice inn. And nice breakfast. However, big differences in room quality, and you don’t get to choose your room unless you go thru Hotels.com and non-inn website. Unfortunately we got one of the rooms in the back of the carriage. Was very disappointing and staff was unable to move us to another room.

Very nice place. Quiet. The breakfasts are included and are upscale with excellent staff service. Unless you are young and don't care, make sure you get a ground floor room - the upstairs rooms require a walk up a large staircase, and are inconvenient. Would definitely return.

It was wonderful there! The moment we arrived we were enthusiastically greeted, offered brownies, help with luggage, shown room, and more. The room was really clean, the bed very comfortable, and furnishings up to date. Breakfast included food choices, inside or out on the patio, and quick service. The people who worked there were friendly and caring. We hope to return next time we’re in the area.
