Reviews for The Lake Motel
Review 1：Walls are a little thin... Parking could be a challenge if it was full.
Review 2：The location was perfect could walk to restaurants, right on the lake. Price was right and the staff was very friendly.
Review 3：The innkeeper was simply wonderful and made every effort to accommodate us. They were booked but as soon as she could she moved us to a lakefront room, and had the staff move our things.
Review 4：Poor customer relationship management
Review 5：Staff was uninterested in situation regarding need to cancel 6 days before reservation. 7 day cancellation policy is so 80s its not even funny. Would not recommend this hotl just because of that.
Review 6：We loved everything : the position, the people and the place. Very friendly stuff. The place is amazing, close to the lake. You can fish, have a walk, go by boat, use the swimming pool. Everybody was very nice with us specially Merilyn...she was adorable. when we will come back for sure we are gonna stay there.
Review 7：If staying longer then a day or two, new soaps and shampoo should be replenished. Coffee pots in the room would be great.
Review 8：The staff was outstanding. Whatever we needed the staff was always there to make our stay fantastic. Loved the fire pits and the kayaks. Fantastic location.

Review 10：Wine and beer tastings, kayaking available, fire pit, walking distance of everything.
Review 11：Walls are a bit thin.
Review 12：Staff was great, motel was located right on the lake with kayaks available. It was also walking distance to town. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the facilities both inside and out.
Review 13：Parking: there wasn't much. Good thing it was off season so we had parking near our room. My mother has difficulty walking, and this site isn't handicapped friendly.
Review 14：It was all very nice: room, staff, location.
Review 15：This hotel was clean, the staff and owners were wonderful, the pool was heated, and the brand new grills and outdoor fire pits guaranteed a fun evening!!!
Review 16：ground floor rooms have no privacy. Window and door face the walkway and parking lot. everyone walking can see inside your room if curtains do not cover the windows. Poor lighting in the room. there are no pool regulations. people were in the pool fully dressed.
Review 17：Nothing to complain about!!
Review 18：The staff was friendly, room and grounds were spotless. The free use. of kayaks was great as well as the nightly activities...beer tasting, smores night. Will definitely be back!!
Review 19：No sandy beach area. Most rooms do not have a lake view, but location is close to the village and within walking distance of many activities.
Review 20：Cleanest motel I have been to in a long time! Staff was friendly and helpful with restaurant locations, directions, and local activities.
Review 21：Pool is small. We were there for a long weekend visiting our child at camp, so it was perfect. There was only usually 1 other group in pool at same time. If it had been more, it would have been uncomfortable. Very nice staff!
Review 22：Parking is atrocious. If you cannot parallel park don't even think about coming here. No views of the lake. Most other motels have complimentary breakfast. This has coffee only.
Review 23：Friendly staff, clean rooms within walking distance to the village .
Review 24：Rooms are tiny for what we paid, in my opinion. Water pressure is awful in the shower and toilet. Bed was supposed to be a queen- I believe it was a full, and too firm for my liking.
Review 25：The kayaking being offered for free is a nice perk. Staff was very friendly and helpful. location on the water is pleasant and within walking distance of the town.
Review 26：1). Very poor parking arrangements - I will never go back there due to that and ... 2). Little to no privacy due to parking arrangement: I had to keep my shades down whenever I was in the room as people just pass by your window all day.
Review 27：1). Nice room and bed. 2). Nice view of the lake.
Review 28：Parking is tough but there . pool is small but very clean Lake view is only 2 rooms .
Review 29：Close to all events . Walking distance to plenty of food drink and entertainment .
Review 30：Not to much not to like. Would have enjoyed the ability to tie up a small boat at the lake.
Review 31：Loved the staff and the free coffee in the morning. The view of the lake from the heated pool and bbq was great. The room and bathroom were a bit spartan but very clean.
Review 32：Front office personnel not very helpful. There was rain water on the balcony, I reported it but they did not bother to dry it out. Not clear information about events going on at the hotel for the week. Light can filter through the balcony right across my bed and woke me up in the morning.
Review 33：Location is great. Went for 4th of July and fireworks were very close to see and enjoy.
Review 34：Not really a lake view from hotel room. The building next door blocked the view.
Review 35：Enjoyed the easy access to the lake, heated pool and complimentary kayak rental. Very short walk to town.
Review 36：Our bed seemed more like a double than queen size, and the mattress was not comfortable.
Review 37：The staff of this hotel goes above and beyond to make this property warm and inviting. The amenities including the pool and decks with firepits on the lake were very nice. The property is also very clean and well kept.
Review 38：I wasn't sure what to expect since we have stayed in multiple hotels/motels in the Lake George area. I am a mother of two young children and from the time I arrived the women in the front desk was so warm, welcoming, helpful and kind. I knew we were in the right place. Everyone is very helpful, facilitates are kept nice and in order and its a nice location.
Review 39：Booking.com changed our rooms midway through the stay and we were unaware of the change.
Review 40：Evening activities at the deck. Fire pits. Location to town. Helpfulness of the staff.

Review 46：Location to downtown shops/restaurants
Review 47：The location is right in town so we were able to park the car and walk to everything. The hotel facilities are immaculate thanks to the maintenance crew who seem to work 24/7 and are friendly too! Love that there are events on site almost daily. We hit the beer tasting and had a blast!
Review 48：Our room was roadside and with a small child it would have been easier to use the pool and lakeside deck if our room wasn't so far away.

Review 50：Breakfast would have been nice
Review 51：Very clean and a wonderful very friendly staff. Nice location, near town. Love the close location to the lake. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Review 52：The only complaint I had was how thin the walls were. You could hear all the movements of your neighbors on a quiet morning.
Review 53：This hotel is in an excellent location for walking all over town. The pool deck and lower deck with fire pits were perfect for sitting and relaxing by the lake. The rooms are extremely clean and the staff are very friendly.
Review 54：There is no evidence on the motel website that all you will see is a parking lane and next motel blind wall. I suspect that there is a parking problem in high season. Wifi connection is very poor and unstable. If you like very rustic decoration you will be happy; it has not been updated for decades.
Review 55：Close to downtown.
Review 56：The wifi wasn't good in our room ( we were right on the lake), we could barely get a signal. But when we went closer to the office it was ok
Review 57：Loved the fire pits and took advantage of the grills on the dock
Review 58：Staff was so accommodating and friendly. Most of my family and friends stayed as well and we had large gatherings by the firepits. No one complained and other guests even joined our festivities. Great place!!!
Review 59：There is no value for the money. Impossible to park if you are driving anything bigger than Honda Fit.Small rooms, even smaller bathrooms. Lake view is only for some rooms in front of the lake, rest of us were looking at the walls of next door motel. Will not go back there ever..
