A great motel near Lake George with a pleasant location. We enjoyed a complimentary breakfast at the property, making our stay even better. It’s one of the best motels to stay near Lake George. I requested an early check-in by two hours, and the team graciously accommodated it. Thank you to the staff for the excellent hospitality!

The place is great and conveniently located in the center of town. We were just looking for a cheap place to sleep since we were going to be out the whole time we were in town. But boy were we surprised at how nice everything was, everything was freshly renovated and very nice, service was excellent and friendly. If I’m in town again I know where I will be staying!

When choosing to stay here, I read all the reviews and felt conflicted. My family needed a place to stay in the Lake George region for a Saturday night in August (just a few days ago). They had the best rate anywhere in the area. I booked directly on their website and didn't have any additional booking fees. I didn't receive a confirmation email, so I emailed them 48 hours later, and they confirmed my room was reserved and I could pay when checking in. We had a great experience with no issues during our time there. The motel is older, and rooms need some updating; that is very true. There is a beautiful pool that we didn't use because residents are looking over the area throughout the day (kind of awkward). Just so you know, some folks live there, but they all minded their business. We were confident we would hear lots of noise or arguing overnight, but we heard nothing! Our room was silent the entire time, which is shocking for any motel/hotel. The motel is not a hotel, so if you require fancy modern amenities, then book a hotel. Our room had a flat-screen TV with cable, ice-cold air conditioning, and heat if needed. It also had a new refrigerator and microwave! The bathroom needs updating, but it was functional for our needs. The carpet also appeared to be fresh and new. I was amazed at the cleanliness of the room itself; it was cleaner than some 5-star hotels I've stayed in. A complimentary light breakfast is available behind the Main Office. The check-in and breakfast areas are bright, new, and updated. Breakfast was satisfying for us, and we saved money on eating out. We had coffee, juice, cereal, bagels, hard-boiled eggs, and Danishes. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming! This place was minutes away from Queensbury restaurants and Lake George's excitement. Glens Falls is an adorable town that we wouldn't have ever visited if we hadn't stayed there- check out the downtown area; it's cute. I will certainly return here if I need a place to stay for 1-2 nights. We met the owner at breakfast, and he told us he'd put in a mini golf course to give guests a fun outdoor activity. I hope this helps you decide whether or not to stay here and what to expect. I had wished someone had provided a more thorough Google review before I booked.

Very polite, helpful staff. Great rooms for the price, nice and clean with air conditioning and all the needs for a small family trip. Amazing breakfast included options with a lot of variety and cute kitchen. Clean pool 👍Location is great, 20 minutes from the L’âge George beach and with stores 10 minutes away, and a nice park really close by. Only little issue would be the wifi, as it is weak in some areas but it’s not the end of the world.

Nice place. Nice staff. Very friendly and accommodating. My fiancée and I will definitely stay here again in the future. It was just what you would come to expect from a hotel. In all the good ways. They recently started renovating and are under new ownership so I can only see the place getting better and better. Thank you!

I recently stayed at Lake George Residence and had an amazing experience. The location is idyllic, with stunning views of Lake George right from our room. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The staff at Lake George Residence were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with a smile. The amenities, including the well-maintained pool and beautifully landscaped grounds, added to the overall charm of the place. Overall, Lake George Residence offers a perfect blend of relaxation and luxury. It's an ideal destination for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Lake George while being pampered with excellent service and comfort. Highly recommended!

Lake Geroge Residence Inn is a wonderful place to stay! The motel is near by to all of the village's attractions, shops, and restaurants. The room was very clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The pool is lovely and heated, making it a great place to relax. Front desk is very welcoming and friendly. Overall, this motel is a great value for the price and I would definitely stay here again.

Youd be better off staying in the woods. Youd be safer, more comfortable, and would save a bundle of money not having to spend it on inoculations and antibiotics. UPDATE: Google was recently flooded with a bunch of favorable reviews on this place. Dont believe them! Just look at the names. Obviously not from anyone around here. You cant see Lake George from the windows. Lake George is a 25 minute drive from here. This place is a known by locals as an absolute dump. Its disgusting, the cops are called routinely to this place, and its full of people dumped there by Social Services. Dont believe all the sudden 5 stars reviews....theyre obviously trying to unjustly get a better rating. The place is a dump. Whatever you do....dont even think of staying here!

So was dropped off here by local towcompany during snowstorm after a car accident. Clearly old building looking a little run down. Front desk staff was nice enough and room cheap. Room seemed ok though bare. Went to get some supplies for the night at a local store and happened to tell the owner there where we were staying. Owner was aghast...you cant stay there... Is not safe. Began to tell us horror stories of criminal and drug related activity. Decided to leave immediately and go elsewhere.

Lake George Residence Inn recently came under new management, and signs of positive change are already apparent. Nestled in the Adirondacks, this serene hotel provides a relaxing escape. The rooms are spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering a comforting ambiance. The friendly and attentive staff ensures a pleasant stay, although some additional organization could further enhance the experience. The hotels lakeside location allows for easy access to outdoor activities such as kayaking and lakeside walks. While breakfast options could be more varied, Lake George Residence Inn shows promise under its new management, making it a recommended retreat for a memorable stay in Lake George.

The Clearview Motel has supported the community for as long as I can remember. It has served as temporary housing to those in need. I believe that this iconic Motel should be federally funded or at least State funded to provide safe affordable housing for those who desperately need help to live a normal productive life. So many of the needy,do not qualify for assistance or any aide the counties provide. Many have no means or transportation to apply for help. The Location of this Landmark Motel is ideal for providing assistance to those individuals who need safe shelter and would otherwise be homeless. The Owners, Management and Staff should be commended for all the good work they do. But they are after all a business that has to pay taxes, maintenance, and wages. The surrounding counties of Washington and Warren as well as Saratoga counties know full well the value of this fine establishment and the service it has provided for decades . Federal grants, state grants and monies donated by the mentioned counties would be well spent here at the Clearview Motel.

I read the reviews on this motel but decided to give it a try and booked for two nights. Yes- it is on a major highway to Lake George, and is convenient to walkable food and groceries. It did appear to be clean except for the windows, and many slat shades that were broken. The manager/? owner was accommodating when we asked to change rooms so that we could view our bikes. HOWEVER- we had a second floor balcony room and the patio door had a broken lock and the doors security bar was a piece of plastic molding. The main door from the hallway was a regular interior door with only a door handle lock- the chain lock had been broken and never replaced. The second floor hall exterior door was tied open to the hand rail - not sure who closed that at night.The neighbors room was occupied with people who swore loudly into the early hours (3am) of the morning. We had to close the curtains to the patio early because people where staring into the room. We ended up barring the interior door and the patio with the room chairs and still didnt sleep. We left early the next morning and forfeited the next night because we didnt feel safe in the room. Does it have potential- yes, but not for me again unless significant safety repairs are done

It was so decrepit looking on the outside that my partner and I literally didnt even pull into the parking lot - we drive right by and said No way. Waste of my money but there was no way I was setting foot in that place. Also, my debit card got hacked shortly after they charged me for the room I never used - coincidence?

For the price it was a good decision to stay here. It was definitely a bargain considering all over places were charging over 100$ for the night. The room had plenty of space, decent bathroom, clean bed and not much noise. We stayed one night. The motel is close to many places for food or drinks. We really liked it. No complaints here.

March 19, 2017

This peace is DISGUSTING!. Service is non-existent. The beds are terrible. Seems like they go out of their way to rent to most rundown rooms. This was my experience even as repeat customer. We got a room at a weekly rate (twice). Our second time we got a room that had a bathtub that did not plug closed ( you know,with the little drain switch?) I called to complain and was told, Yeah you just need to only take showers or you can out .Days later, the toilet stopped up. I called for help addressing this issue and their response was an employee who knocked on the door and handed us plunger then walked away. You will not want to walk barefoot in the ugly vintage red shag rug which will undoubtedly have food, ashes and God knows what else from previous lodgers. Also enjoy a view of the random drug drama taking place in the parking lot on any given day, through drafty windows with ugly vintage curtains to match the ugly vintage rug. No amenities whatsoever. No continental breakfast. Not even coffee or tea.

I can honestly say that I enjoyed my stay here. I came during racing season, and although it was about a 30 minute drive drive, we have family in the area so it was convenient. There is a pool, and with the way this past summer was, it was more than refreshing. I cant say I agree with things the other reviewers are saying. My room was smoke free with a new bed, and the service was great. Housekeeping services came at a reasonable hour... Free internet, microwave, refrigerator, anything you could possibly need if you are going to be staying short term. Contrary to what the reviewer before me wrote, the people in the front of the motel are not put up by welfare.I have a friend who lived in the front and they are financially stable. They were living there because it was all they needed at the moment, as well as many, if not all others on the side opposing the office. People are very nice, only a few oddballs but nobody that would do any harm. This place is conveniently located right between the Glens Falls/Queensbury region, and Saratoga/Wilton.With the good quality rooms and price, I will be coming back again next season if not before.

I stayed for 3 days for skiing and I would say my experience was pleasant overall. Compared to some of the other local places I have stayed in the past, I would say that this is one of the better ones. The inclusion of free internet along with HBO was definitely nice considering the fact that I only paid $65 per night. The location was also convenient because there was a shopping strip right next to the motel, so getting basic needs and food was no problem. I didnt interact much with the staff, but they were helpful and nice whenever I asked them something. Overall, a nice motel with an affordable price. I will most likely come again next year for my next ski trip.
