I enjoyed my stay at this hotel with its great view of Lake George and clean rooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made for a pleasant experience. However, the rooms were quite old and had an unpleasant smell, and I think adding a small refrigerator would really enhance the comfort. Overall, it’s a decent stay at a reasonable price, but it's not without its drawbacks.
