Hotels Near A Christmas to Remember in Lake George

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at this Best Western. We were given a comfortable 2 double-bed room on the ground floor with a small fridge, coffee maker and in room safety deposit box. It is well located and in a quiet area. Easy to park with not much walking from your car to your room. About 2 minute drive to many Lake George attractions, restaurants and stores. We really appreciated the complimentary breakfast with a very good choice of food. We really enjoyed the inside hot tub and heated pool where we could relax for a while. I have to mention that there is also a large outside pool opened in warmer seasons. All in all it exceeded our expectations and this at an affordable and decent price compared to other facilities in the area. From check-in to departure time all was perfect. Thanks to Brea at the reception and to Robert W., the General Manager, who introduced himself and greeted us personally when we checked in. Also Cristy when we checked out. The room maids did a great job and I had a chance to say a few words in Spanish with them. And finally a big thank you to Elsie who manages the breakfast room like if it was her own business, taking the time to chat a little with the guests and making sure we have everything we need. All the staff at your hotel is friendly, attentive, listening and devoted to please customers which gave us the opportunity to share some memories of our younger years in Lake George. When we go back to Lake George it will be at your Hotel. That’s for sure! Many thanks from Diane and Cleveland for a most pleasurable vacation.

The Lodges at Cresthaven is a great place for families. The rooms (or lodges, cabins, etc) are well designed and keep with the living in the mountains feel. We stayed in a 2 BR lodge and the entire cabin was great. We felt like we rented a house near the lake. The master bedroom upstairs had a (relatively corny) heart shaped jacuzzi in its large bathroom. The second bedroom was really small and could only fit bunk beds and a dresser, but it was enough for my two kids. The kitchen had all the appliances and kitchenware you would need even though we never used it. We did use the laundry a few times since we had to bring our own towels. The balcony outside was a nice place to read or play board games with the kids during the rain and reserved parking for our car was right outside the lodge. You will like it if you know what you are paying for. This is basically like renting a house. There’s no housekeeping during the week and you have to bring beach towels if you want to go to the lake or the pool. You are responsible for keeping your place clean and taking out the garbage. Some major negatives were the fact that the use of water activities (paddle boards, kayaks) closed after 3:00 and the restaurant was closed half the week. However, despite the negatives, we enjoyed ourselves. The activities around the lake (lake activities, hiking, biking, etc) were fun. I do wish we skipped some of the restaurants in Lake George and prepared our own meals more since the kitchenette was nice and the restaurants weren’t that great.

We stayed 3 nights at the hotel. The staff were very helpful answering questions and giving directions. The room was very clean large. We had a 1 bedroom which was perfect for us and our 17yr old daughter. The only thing we missed was having someone come get trash and give new linens. Due to covid you put trash and get linens in the morning. The location is perfect for great escape it is a 10 min walk which is perfect so you don't pay parking. Their is a great icecream shop across the street, go carts up the street and restaurants. The trolley gets you at the bottom of driveway. We used the indoor pool and hot tub every night. Great stay

We checked in on July 1st, 2023. Miss Katie ( or Kadie) checked us in - and long story short , she is the only reason I am giving this place 1 star because it’s all about the experience, even though the rooms are decent and the location was not a surprise. The staff quality influences whether your experience will be stellar or horrible. For us, it was the latter. We had booked 2 rooms. Even though we came at 4 , we were given one room because the other one ,opposite to this room was being cleaned. So we waited. And waited. until 5:45. No updates inspite of repeated calls to check in. No apologies for the delay with check in. When my husband went down, he was asked to check out another room on another floor , which he called me to check. I did that and then I took the keys from him and went to the front desk to hand those back since I wanted both rooms on the same floor since we were traveling with kids and seniors. First, inspite of me waiting patiently in line for my turn, and explaining the problem, she asked me to step aside to check in the next guest. I let that go and waited. Then, when the person after me was checked in , I repeated the issue and asked her to give us 2 rooms on the same floor , does not matter which floor it is. She then proceeded to ask me a bunch of questions - if I had touched anything in the other room (no) , if we had sat on the bed (no) , if we had sat on the sofa (no!). I told her we opened the door looked at it and stepped out. She then told me she did not “ need my frustration and attitude”and that she had already given us a room. THAT ticked me off. I told her firmly that I was not being disrespectful and I was her customer and no, we did not have the 2 rooms that we booked , only one. And that I was willing to wait another hour for the other room in front of us that was being cleaned. She asked me to step aside again to check in the next customer. I asked her if there is a possibility of getting the other room that we were initially told that we would get. She said no. I asked her then what was the point then of asking me if we had touched anything in the room if there was no intention of letting us change it and what was the point of asking me to wait again if she had no intention of helping. It was obvious to me that she was acting out. I asked to speak to her manager or someone else but she refused to call anyone and said they had no one but her (!). She then refused to give me her full name saying she did not have to do so and told me that the room I had , was it. So there we go - that is the quality of people Hilton lets represent their brand. You can be disrespectful to a customer with no repercussions. Will make sure to take my money to Marriott properties going forward.

This place was so much better then the last place we stayed at. My only problem with it was they advertised indoor heated pool. That was the coldest heated pool I have ever been in! It was almost as cold as the temp was outside. Could not even stay in the pool without freezing. Sad cause that is why I booked this hotel.

Overall we were pleased. The hotel both in the private rooms as well as public areas was really clean. The breakfast area was clean, spacious and the food was good. The women working in the breakfast area were pleasant. One even handed out candy! The rooms were nice and roomy. The room bathrooms were large as well! The location was close enough to attractions but also not in the middle of all the hub bub. The only real negative was that the front desk staff seemed frazzled by the eclipse and that they ran out of towels. The hotel and parking lot never seemed over crowded but in the 4 days we were there, they never got any more towels.
