This is not a food destination. The Castle has a limited menu, not offering cocktails or apps. We ordered a basic bottle of red, Apothic. Ciabatta bread was served, but there was no sign of bread plates. My husband ordered the salmon, and I ordered the braised short rib. Both were mid, not much flavor, and the table didn't even offer salt and pepper. When I requested it, it was graciously provided. Each meal came with an historical salad, circa Alexander the Great. When our meals came, they were warm, served with unimaginative vegetables. They did offer a purple carrot, a unicorn in Amsterdam. In a spectacular location like this, they could do a killing if their food was as unique and as inspired as their ambience. The service was solid. Everyone we encountered did their best to meet our needs. They were obviously kind people. At $140 for two with gratuity, this was steep for what we got.

Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Pleasant staff. I'll definitely be back.

So that happened…read more About to sit down for our second meal in two nights at The Nest/Schenectady (not the subject of this review). Why? Why would we drive 20 minutes in the rain and fog on St Patrick's and not eat at the lobby restaurant (this restaurant) where we were guests for two nights? Why walk out on our reservation? The reservation made with the front desk? Incompetence. Disrespect. Complete inability to remedy multiple screw ups. We were taken to our table with a cute little reserved placard on it. Unnecessary, but ok. There were three tables dining. Of dozens. As in the place was completely empty. Tables everywhere. Ours? Right next to the point-of-sale system against the bar. We asked to move. A dozen tables were available away from the bar. As it turns out, the significantly warmer side of the venue. Nope. The gentleman states that we can only sit on the kitchen entrance side close to the main door. In an empty restaurant. We sat there for about two minutes before it was clear we'd be cold from the main door draft and even more frustrated by the loud yelling in the kitchen. The ice crunching from the bartender was the only thing that made it comical. Seriously, within two minutes my neck was stiff from the cold at the second table. My wife's feet, in boots, we're getting chilled. I'd be furious if this wasn't a first world thing. It is a first world thing. But if you're looking for a nice dining experience in an empty restaurant and the staff wants to sit your reservation made, suite (just a bigger room) staying butt in front of the kitchen or POS system rather than accept that the guest isn't satisfied with the hospitality... As I said, we left. We won't be back. At least I got a nice text letting me know they canceled our reservation.

Especially liked being able to open the windows and feeling the fresh air and breezes after stays in hermetically sealed hotel rooms. Although we didn't get a chance to check it out, the bar looks great and by all accounts, the food is very good. Dave, the Owner, was very helpful at checkin, explaining how to use the A/C unit, access code for after hours and WiFi code. Having grown up in the area, the highest complement I can give is the stay reminded me of being at my Mother's house in the past...comfy and cozy as she used to say.

We were passing through town and this place was recommended to us. Our initial encounter with the…read morelady who sat us was very unpleasant. First she asked us if we had reservations and we said no, she then asked us how many in our party and I told her five and she sarcastically said, "and you don't have reservations". She acted bothered and then said well we can sit you in the back. She proceeded to walk us to the back and she begrudgingly said well I have to set up a table for you. Thank goodness our server, Angie, quickly came to offer assistance. She had a smile on her face and was very friendly. When you first walk in, you are in the tavern. They had live music at 6:00 and most of the tables were reserved. And now the good part!! The food was very good. Angie advised us of the specials of the day. We ordered one of the specials which was a generous portion of Haddock stuffed with shrimp and crab. It was cooked to perfection and had just the right amount of flavor. It was served atop a bed of rice with a cream sauce and cooked spinach on the side. It came with a salad and a role. We also ordered the salmon and that was also cooked perfectly and was delicious. We were provided excellent service by Angie.

AWARENESS: Knowing months ago my son would be finishing up…read moreschool in Ballston Spa, I tried to make reservations close to him. Lucky for me, nothing was available and I ended up booking here at the Homewood Suites in Schenectady. NARRATIVE: The wife and flew into Newark from Sacramento on the "red eye" and arrived here at the hotel just after 1 pm on Thursday, August 2, 2018. We were told our room wouldn't be ready for a few hours so, we used the extra time to explore the area and have lunch. When we returned shortly after three, we were handed our complementary waters and the keys to room #521. Entering the room, I noticed this king, one bedroom suite was bigger and nicer than any of the other Homewood Suites I've stayed at in the past. Room #521 is only one of two balcony rooms on the top floor with a rivers view. The room has an opening french door leading to a small balcony which has a small table and two chairs; and if the weather is good. The view of the Mohawk River below is spectacular, peaceful and very relaxing. The Rivers Casino is just over the river and is within walking distance from the hotel. A right turn from the hotels parking lot on Freemans Bridge Road will take you to Route 50 and TWO stores where you can purchase beer, wine and spirits. This road also takes you to Lowes and Walmart. Everything is very close and within walking distance. ** Hotel staff were always friendly and very helpful. SYSNOPSIS: Based on the totality of everything like; cleanliness, amenities, noise, professional and helpful staff, scenery and the ease and proximity of shopping. I'd rank this Homewood Suites as the BEST Hilton property I've ever stayed at. RECOMMENDATIONS: I'd only recommend a few changes to help things out and better the guest experience. 1. I'd suggest soft closing toilet seats be installed in all the rooms. The sound of a slamming toilet seat sucks. 2. I'd recommend the hand sanitizer already in place at the entrance to the dining area be moved on the direct and opposite wall, next to the threshold where guest get their plates, food and drinks. Out of site equals out of mind. If the guest see the hand sanitizer next to where the food, they'll use it. 3. I'd recommend non-slip mats for all the hotel room shower-tubs. ** Initially, my room didn't have one. When I talked to Marcia at the front desk and asked about one for my room. She insured me I'd get one. When my mat arrived later in the day, I was told Marcia actually left the hotel and purchased a new mat for me and the room. Marcia, I thank and applaud your hard work and dedication. I wish there were more like you and kindness alone warrants a FIVE star rating from me. I'd highly recommend this hotel for your next visit and stay!

We have come here often over many years in all seasons and were sad to see how different the…read moreexperience is now. For starters, no one answered the door when we arrived to check in mid-afternoon, and--ONLY because we knew how to do this--we had to track down the innkeeper, Martha, via the back door. (After 7:30 pm, no one is there at all.) When Martha gave us our keys she declared that she had only these two, so we'd better give them back. Nice touch. I know an elevator cannot be installed, but could they not hire a high school kid to answer the door AND drag the luggage upstairs? As for the breakfast, the staff sets specific half-hour intervals for serving and then leaves your dish on the table to get cold if you don't arrive at the first moment. But the meal is not worth it, anyway: the same four mediocre and skimpy choices, offered every single morning; no cold cereal or fruit and muffins left out as an alternative; and we were warned that unless we filled out the breakfast order the night before we would get nothing, as the staff "cannot accommodate walk-ins." For this we paid megabucks???? I won't make this longer by cataloguing how wonderful this place used to be when it had a live-in and enthusiastic manager, but trust me, it was a real gem and everything one could want in a fine B&B. I know it's been sold and all I can figure is that the new owners tried to cut costs...such a shame.

Great in the summer too!…read more Went with my mother and girlfriend for a traditional Adirondack getaway and Lapland did not disappoint. In the summer this place is heaven to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and relaxing. Clean rooms, really clean. The homes or "Tupa's" are very comfortable and home like, although I guarantee you won't be spending much time inside. You can use any of Lapland's amenities such as kayaks, canoes, rowboats, mountain bikes etc - just bring your key to the lake and choose from their good selection.. I went fishing in the lake and caught a couple largemouth (released them back for you too) the lake is not overly large but is fun to explore all of the coves and shoreline. Not to mention swimming and sun bathing on a hot day, I suppose that goes without saying ! If you want a get away to roast marshmallows and have a relaxing stay, try Lapland lake instead of herding with the masses to lake George!

I got a room on the second floor which had a view of a snow topped forested area nearby. I got a king room which was appointed with a king bed, desk area, a couple drawers for clothing and a small closet to hang a few things. It also had a small refrigerator and microwave.

The breakfast area and tables were kept clean. The fitness center also was kept clean, with several pieces of cardio equipment, free weights, and two benches, as well as towels and a water bottle filling station.
