Georgian Lakeside Resort

My family and I ate here for Thanksgiving. It was about an hour drive for us. First, it was very difficult to find. The had a small flyer indicating where the dinner was taking place.
Second, we had a 3:30 reservation — we were not seated until 4:15. I understand it’s Thanksgiving — However, there were many empty tables that weren’t being used. It was a buffet dinner. It wasn’t a question on whether the waitstaff couldn’t accommodate the tables. Also, while we waited in line — there was a group of people that checked in and told to sit at bar to wait. The hostess forgot about them and started seating other groups which cause a bit of scene. At least it was some entertainment.
Finally, we get seated and go for food. The trays were not labeled. I’m a vegetarian — It took awhile to find someone to tell me if there was meat in any of the pasta. They didn’t have any vegetarian options (which I was told there would be when I booked the reservation). Most of the trays were empty. They ran out of turkey and stuffing for family members. They were working on filling the trays — it was too late. We were already done. People were really mad about the empty trays. I spent $ 30 for frozen vegetables and instant mash potatoes.
My mom had an allergic reaction to a pasta dish that looked like chicken Alfredo — it turns out it was fish. Who puts cheese sauce.
If you booked your reservation by ¹¹⁄₁₆ — you saved $ 3 per person. We were charged the high price. They adjusted the bill. I’m sure a lot of people didn’t know it and paid the night rate.
It was such an awful experience. I will never go again. I regret not going to the Fort Henry resort. We went there 2 years ago — it was really nice. Unfortunately, we wanted to try a new place. Never again.

Clean, beautiful hotel! Housekeeping spot on! Their prices beat all the little mom and pop hotels in the area with so much more to offer. You’d be crazy to stay anywhere else!

I expected better.
I think I knew that the room was not going to be the best being that the reviews already gave me a warning however I think my dislike came from the staff. We booked directly with the hotel instead of using Expedia/​Trip Advisor/​Orbitz so we were given 10% off towards a purchase of drinks or snacks in the pool and/​or restaurant.
I tried unsuccessfully for two days to use these vouchers. Basically the restaurant told us to go to the Pool area on the first day we tried it. We made our way to the pool area which was very dark and unwelcoming. We finally caught the waitress who basically said — what do you want?. Well — not literally but you get what I mean. so we indicated we wanted a few cokes and some nachos. She looked aggravated by our non-​alcoholic request. We don’t serve nachos — she thrust a menu to my 13 year old daughter and walked away. Yelling over her shoulder — let me know when you’re ready to order. In other words «I’m too busy to stand and wait». It was pitch dark and we could barely see the menu so we left. We tried again the next day during the day to get some drinks but they were so busy and did not seem friendly. Since I was still sore about my experience the night before I took my vouchers back to the front desk and told them. «those folks at the restaurant and pool bar are rude — I won’t be using the vouchers». So she said «Okay». LOL Seriously? How about — I apologize for the inconvenience. Um no.
Another issue I had was the checking in. We got there very early in the morning — I get it — check in is at 3:00 p.m. We walked around town and had lunch and shopped which was very nice but the food was horrible. We ate at The Bank. Read my other review on that restaurant. IF you can’t find it — take my word for it — don’t eat there. I get back to the hotel at 2:35 pm. I know — still early but let me try. Nope room is not ready. She reminds me 3:00 p.m. is check in. Really? Then when I finally get into the room…
It’s dated and I felt uncomfortable. I didn’t sleep well because every time the air conditioner kicked on it sounded like a engine roar. My labor Day weekend R&R was followed by two additional days off to sleep at home.
I would rather forgo the Lake George and their view and stay at Queensbury or Saratoga. It may be more expensive but so worth it. The food and the people were so much nicer. I enjoyed the races and the restaurants in Queensbury. I really did not care for Lake George or the Georgian Lakeside Resort. I won’t return. It gets 2 stars for a beautiful sunset view.

We had our family reunion here Aug 14 – 16. Pictures don’t show that it’s a motel not a hotel or resort quality at all. We reserved a room with 2 queen size beds. When we arrived after a 6 hour drive, we had to wait almost 2.5 hours for our room. When we got our room it had a king size. We go to the front desk and the woman’s attitude was nasty & very dismissive towards my Dad & I. All she kept saying was well there is nothing we can do, we have no rooms and kept trying tried to move on to the next person checking in. Needless to say, it got ugly quick. After 45 mins, we were able to get another room. Upon getting into the rooms you can see the difference in rooms. The rooms were nasty, dirty & smelled. Towels were dirt & torn & were mixed white, cream & dingy. Housekeeping doesn’t clean the rooms they straighten it up & take the trash out & make the beds like 5 years olds. The young lady didn’t clean our bathroom, she may have wiped around the stuff on the sink. We dropped a penny in the tub & it was there in the same spot when we came back after they supposedly cleaned the room. The food we had for our events was not cooked properly & their food handling is horrible. Half cooked chicken, potatoes salad is out in the hot sun no ice. Food not covered & flies landing on food. Horrible experience, don’t stay here!

I would recommend this place. The location was great, right on the lake and near the center of town. The room was very clean and up to date, feeling a lot more like a decent hotel room than an Adirondacks motel. The staff were pleasant and helpful every time we interacted with them. Pool area was nice although a bit crowded, same with the beach area. The tiki bar was a nice touch, with great views of the lake. The restaurant was ok, very nice atmosphere and views, but the food was a little pricey and not a whole lot better than anything else we found in town. But they did give us $ 40 in coupons to the restaurant and bar when we checked in, so that was appreciated.
All in all, I was very happy with this place and will stay here again. I also recommend getting a courtyard room, as they are a pretty good value and just a short walk to the beach/​pool/​tiki bar where you will then have the same view as the pricier rooms.

For a Lake George resort hotel this place has shown its age for a few years. The pool and bar are still pretty good but the rest of the place is getting pretty tired looking. Dings and dents on the doors, the exterior stairs and walkways desperately need new surfacing because the very old carpet makes for a poor first impression. The pillow cases are old as are the sheets. The parking is always crowded on busy weekends and the spots are narrow if you have a large suv or pickup. For 300+ a night you should expect better lodging!
This place needs pretty significant freshening up!

I don’t understand the mixed reviews. This is a motel town and that’s exactly what we had at The Georgian. It was a motel but honestly one of the nicest motels around! The grounds were clean, the rooms were clean, pool and beach! It was a well kept motel. In my opinion it needs a little updating on the worn carpeting on the walkway and stairs but all in all a very nice motel.
The pool was fun and so was their small beach. My favorite was sitting at the cabana bar having lunch and drinks with my family and enjoying the beautiful views. Each morning we enjoyed a nice buffet breakfast with very nice views from the dining room.
Our room was clean with coffee pot, microwave, refrigerator and hair dryer. I had a good laugh at the complimentary shampoo and conditioner. Tiny. We did not notice when we checked into our room but the air conditioner was leaking in the room and the next morning the carpet was soaked. We called the front desk to advise of the situation and someone was at our door in less than 5 minutes! He repaired it and used a wet dry vacuum. The area dried a bit but basically stayed wet for the 4 nights we stayed. I mention this just to say how impressed I was they came so quick!
I am the director of quality control for a major sightseeing company and find their customer service commendable!
Good job! I’ll see you next year

I’ve had the pleasure of staying in many seedy motels in my life, it was a pleasant surprise to find this is not one of them. Though technically classified as a resort, the layout is as much motel as any I’ve stayed in the past. However the key difference being cleanliness of the property, rooms and courtesy of the staff. Both were exceptional as far as I was concerned.
We arrived early and were allowed to check in early. Not unusual for the hospitality industry but always a welcomed accomodation. From the front desk we walked through the lot to our room, which we enter from outside as most often done in a motel. The room was clean, the décor was modern and the bathroom bright and uplifting. Unlike some of the other establiments I’ve patronized in the past. The room was bare bones we had a single room for sleeping and a bathroom, cable TV a fridge which was nice for storing left overs. However when ice was needed, the ice machine was quite a walk, practically back to the main office which was a clear across the parking lot from my room. Not so fun in the pouring rain.
Though under renovation at the time of my stay the pool area was quite nice with beautiful views of the lake and a well stocked cabana bar. And should you want to spend sometime out on the lake the «resort» offered kyak and paddle boat rentals. Both are first come first serve. And u won’t be able to reserve them so you pretty much have to stalk the front desk in hopes someone had just returned them. They charge for the rentals ofcourse between $ 20-​$ 30hrs.
All in all it was a pleasant stay. We lost power for about 30 minutes due to a passing storm but it came back and all was not lost.
Upon checking out I brought it to management’s attention that the bathroom sink was draining very slow and the tv made a whinning noise. They apologized for the issue. But it didn’t end there. Several weeks later I received a letter from management again appoloizing for the issues and a $ 50 gift card towards my next visit which I will be using next summer when I return to the town of Lake George.

Came here with my husband over Memorial Day weekend. I feel pretty mislead by the word «resort». It’s a motel on the water. We didn’t have any hot water in the room throughout the weekend. When I called the front desk, she said she’d get in touch with maintenance and call us back. We never did hear back from them, and left unshowered in the end. Pro – pretty great location, right in the action and near good restaurants. At check in, we received two $ 10 vouchers to spend at the Cabana bar. Cabana was pretty nice, overlooking Lake George. Would have loved to see some house, summertime cocktails. Overall, probably wouldn’t go back – too expensive and not enough to take away.

Did not stay here, but rented a boat. Staff was so accommodating and helped us out. Monique should head the town of lake George, she has more foresight, insight, personality, and know how than the visitor center.
This place comes highly recommended.

My room was nice and clean and the bed was comfy. The pillows could be better but that’s almost always the case when you’re not in your own bed. The pool was nice but it was cloudy the afternoon we had reserved to use it so we sat and ate/​drank instead. The food is pool food. Expect chicken fingers and burger type fare.
Nice to have a TV i could connect my iPhone to for music and a fridge to store drinks.

Spent July 4^th weekend up at Lake George. Stayed at the Georgian for 3 nights. All and all I would say it was up to expectation at the price point (we had a weekender deal which included a few free meals). The room was small but adequate and clean enough. Food, especially the breakfast, was good. Also had dinner there, and that was good. Staff was courteous, attentive and professional. Lots of children at this place (perhaps this was more a function of the July 4^th weekend) so if that isn’t your thing (wasn’t mine) be forewarned.
Clearly the Lake itself is the big draw up here. The views at the Georgian are beautiful, especially from the pool-​deck bar, which was a highlight. All and all, suggest that if you are heading to the lake to enjoy the «resort» there are probably quieter, more scenic venues for that. However, if you are going to enjoy the Lake, this place will get you everything you need.
