We stayed in a room with 2 queen beds, it was very spacious and clean. There was only two draws to put our clothes so we each only got one. The shower was big, but the water pressure wasn't great. Overall, it was a nice experience and I would recommend staying here. Also there is a roof top which is very nice and has a view of the lack and mountais. You definitely need to check it out.

I spent Columbus Day weekend gazing out over the lake from a balcony that made me feel briefly like…read morean aristocrat who had misplaced his crown. The room had two king beds, a small miracle for a man accustomed to one, and the soundproofing was a triumph of human engineering. Even with Oktoberfest raging below, once the balcony door was closed the silence was so complete that I could almost hear my own thoughts apologizing for existing. The hotel sits right on Canada Street, which is the main artery of Lake George's little heart. Shepard Park is practically across the street, full of families, music, and the particular chaos of people on vacation trying to have a perfect time. The staff managed to stay cheerful through it all, smiling with the kind of sincerity that must come from good training or good souls. Parking was a game of Tetris, but I was grateful for the garage. Once my car was wedged in, I had no reason to drive again. Everything that mattered was within walking distance. The rooftop terrace deserves a poem, though I am too lazy to write one. The lake spread out below, blue and calm, and for a few minutes I believed in peace on earth. There is no hot tub, which feels like a crime against nature. The patio outside the pool almost begs for one. Imagine sitting there in January, snow falling into the water, steam rising like forgiveness. The restaurant did not thrill me, and the prices made my wallet flinch. Still, it was a fine stay, the kind that makes you feel momentarily better about the human race before the bill arrives to remind you of reality. Four stars. A lovely place, too expensive for what it is, but worth remembering all the same.

Sixteen years. Same weekend. Same place. Same friends. Super…read moreBowl weekend in Lake George has become a tradition we wouldn't trade for anything. What started as a simple trip turned into something much bigger a weekend that's about reconnecting, laughing, catching up, and picking up right where we left off every year. By the time the Super Bowl rolls around, it feels less like a trip and more like a reunion. The first week of Winter Carnival just makes it better. The ice bar, great food and drinks, the energy around the resort and town it all sets the tone for an unforgettable winter weekend. A huge part of why this works year after year is the people who make the place feel like home. Courtney, the general manager, keeps everything running smoothly and consistently she sets the standard. Tyler and Nicole at the bar are always a big part of the weekend, and Becca and Tonya at the front desk make arrivals feel easy and welcoming every single time. Even in the heart of winter, the place is always spotless thanks to Keisha and her housekeeping crew something we appreciate more than most people realize. Sixteen straight Super Bowl weekends, countless memories, and friendships that keep growing. Some traditions just stick because they're done right. Can't wait to see everyone again at the Holiday Inn Resort Lake George. Already counting down.

We have been coming every winter for the past six years and have made some terrific memories here…read more There is so much I genuinely like about this place. The location is convenient and feels like part of our ritual now. The staff are almost uniformly kind and welcoming to our kids and us. They remember us, greet us cheerfully and make this feel like a home base. The outdoor hot tub was a particularly welcome amenity on this past brutally cold weekend and it helped us warm up a chill that seemed to go straight to our bones after time outside on the lake. It really is one of those few places that feels like a welcome retreat no matter the weather. If there weren't any flaws, this would be a much easier review to write. But there are flaws, and they are things that should have been tended to long ago. The rooms have definitely seen better days. Many of our dresser drawers barely opened. The refrigerator was hardly cool. Furniture had visible damage and some of the electrical outlets were non-functional or battered to the points that plugs fell right out f them. These are not deal breaking in isolation but taken together they left us feeling that the room was tired and poorly maintained. A little thoughtful maintenance or investment here could go a long way and make the rooms feel a lot more comfortable. Another disappointment this year was the breakfast buffet at TRs Restaurant. In years past it was a highlight and something our kids looked forward to to prepare for a cold morning out. This visit, the quality seemed to have declined and the selection felt smaller. The restaurant itself still has a lovely lake view and a cozy fireplace, and the service was still friendly and attentive, but the breakfast spread did not live up to our memories. So I find myself landing on a three star rating. If you take this place for what it can still be, it is a wonderful family resort with great staff and some truly nice amenities. But right now the condition of the rooms and some of the public areas combined with the breakfast experience hold it back from being the much stronger destination I know it can be. Here is hoping that ownership puts some money back into the property so it can recapture its full potential.

You also couldn't charge your meals to your room as in other hotels. My martini wasn't the best and was served in a plastic cup. My wine was good but was also served in a plastic cup. My food was really good and my filet was cooked to perfection. My breakfast was great but again, I couldn't charge my meal to my room. There was also no room service in case you wanted to eat in. As for the room, it was dark (even with the lights on and the curtains open). It did have a partial view of the lake with a balcony. For the money I was paying and a free room upgrade, it was a disappointing first experience.

Our room on the second floor was large and clean and the bed was comfortable. There is a microwave and refrigerator also. There is a small pool and bar which faces the lake. My biggest complaint is the guests. Kids are running up and down the hallways at all hours and the walls are thin so you hear everything. There are chairs outside every door, so people are sitting out there late at night carrying on loud conversations, which again can be easily heard. There should be a quiet time after 10. I'm just amazed at self entitled people who have no regard for anyone else.

The one thing I did not like was the fact that when we did get my son, we went back to the hotel and we went to go swimming and they were drinking and smoking in the pool, not outside the pool, not around the pool in the pool so cigarette ashes and everything else were falling in the pool. Along with drinking in the pool, which is a serious thing, especially if somebody gets hurt while intoxicated and in the water and they were not drinking just one or two they had a whole 12 pack in front of them that they were drinking. Anyway, we told the manager and the manager told us that it doesn't matter we allow that Well that sealed the deal for me. I did not wanna go back. Before we left I did speak to the new general manager that was just hired on and she told me that she will definitely take care of it and apologized for the inconvenience. Whether it's actually stopped or not, I do not know that was a major downside to me and it was also a major drawback to ever wanna go back to that place again. I do not ever tell anyone not to go to a place because there's always room for improvement and if they improve then by all means go back, but I cannot say that I would recommend this place to anyone either. If you're ever in the area and want someplace to stop, you can stop there if you would like, but it's not my recommendation. Hopefully they truly get themselves together and change the policies so it's safer when kids are in the area. Thank you for listening.

Service: One server for our party, she was nice but a little oddly for a server she didn't know what ginger ale was and wasn't sure if they had decaf. Our food came out with a pretty big gap between plates, I was finished with mine by the time another in our party got hers. I will say they were very gracious seeing as we were a half hour late. Food: Pretty underwhelming, you could get similar or better food at your local diner. Menu is somewhat limited as well especially for sides and drinks. I got the french toast, it wasn't very moist at all, uninteresting flavor, the strawberry garnish was dried up on the inside so must have been left out for a while, bacon was fine, maple syrup was good. I had a few bites of the omelette which was good and home fries which were on the dry side and without much flavor. Value: It wasn't too expensive thankfully despite being marketed as a 'fine dining experience' I'd say value was about even with the low quality food, french toast was $11. Overall definitely would not recommend, you could get better food at a diner or cafe.
