Walking distance from The Great Escape. Clean, quiet motel. More affordable than most motels in Lake George area but its still a good quality motel. WiFi was excellent.
What a cute motel! Our room (#23) felt like a little cabin! Very friendly staff, great pool and super comfortable beds! Keep in mind that this is not the Ritz so if that is what you are looking for, don’t stay here and then complain about it!!!! It is like an old fashioned motel and honestly, it was nice to stay at a place that was so down to earth and basic. Perfect location. Will definitely stay here again!
Love the property and location. It was conveniently located right next to six flags. Surprisingly you really didn’t hear the roller coasters or crowd. The only dislike I have is at night the insects bite you tremendously, I recommend that you bring tons of mosquito spray.
The room looked exactly like the picture. Taylor called me the morning we were checking in to tell me the room was ready if we wanted to come earlier. Pool was clean, kids really enjoyed it. They even recommended their favorite places to eat, area attractions. Fridge was bigger than I expected, microwave was very convenient .

Just outside of lake George
Amazing location. 5 minute walk to Six Flags. Across the street from amazing ice cream. Multiple mini golf places are a few minute walk away. Room itself was okay. Very dated, clean tho. Bathroom had a pocket door with no lock, and there were a few cosmetic issues
Very convenient to Six Flags great Escape. Place was clean and neat Great for a night sleep with Martha’s across the street for food.

Clean & well situated
It's a motel right next to an amusement park, however the beds were comfortable and the room was nice and clean. The room also had a mini fridge and a microwave for easy catering. Plus, if you visited on a hot day, the room had an AC unit. The location was convenient. The motel was a short drive to Lake George, and directly across the street from Martha's Dandee Creme, a local institution. Over all it was a nice place to stay, albeit a bit pricey.
Great location in walking distance to Great Escape and across the road from Martha's ice cream shop. It could use some updating but the rooms were very clean and everyone was very helpful. We really enjoyed the pool too. will definitely go back.
Quaint roadside inn - clean & comfy. Staff gave area dining suggestions that were spot on. Bathroom could do with some updating but was kept clean. Kids loved the pool. Staff was courteous and responded to requests very quickly.
The hotel was great. I would stay there again. I was very disappointed however with the people staying next door. They were loud until around 2am. I asked them to please keep the noise down and they laughed at me and continued being loud.
Our stay was very good! The staff were excellent! So friendly and welcoming! The room was very nice and clean!!! My only complaint would be that the bed wasn’t very comfortable. But we really enjoyed our stay here!
Very charming and well kept old school motel the staff was friendly and helpful. Right at the gate of the great escape Truely walking distance. Kids likes it that they could see the roller coasters from the pool.

Nice clean rooms, but dated
This was a good place to stay. The rooms are large and have a coffee pot, mini-fridge and microwave (except our room service kept forgetting to replenish the coffee!). It is old, so expect dated bathrooms with small showers (width wise, kept hitting the curtain every time I moved my arms.) The AC worked wonderfully and the room was clean. The staff was super nice. There is a pool but it is outdoors and not heated, so it was a bit chilly, but you can use the indoor/outdoor pool and hottub at the hotel just up the hill so that worked out well (we used it every day!). A good value in the area, especially since it is just a quick walk to Six Flags and several other attractions like mini golf, and it has a great place to eat right across the street.
