We were here for a hockey tournament, so this was a "have to go" situation. Lake George in the winter is an interesting experience by itself. Most of what is there is seasonal and closed in January. Having taken a close look at what's there, I am confident that there is no better place to stay than this Holiday Inn. You may think (as I did) that their prices are high for mid-winter in the middle of nowhere, with little or no occupancy. But the other choices for only slightly less money are well below this hotel in quality. Well below.
We reserved the Holiday Inn expecting ... well, a Holiday Inn. But this place is so much better. It is new, or at least recently renovated. It is very comfortable and inviting. The bed was the most comfortable I've slept in over many recent hotel stays. They serve freshly baked cookies in the afternoon in the lobby, together with hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps if you are so inclined! There is an indoor pool and an outdoor hot tub. One thing that's important to me in a hotel is cleanliness, and this place lives up to my standards very nicely.
The very reasonably priced lakeview suites give you a gorgeous view of Lake George. The staff is also friendly and attentive. They cheerfully gave us a late checkout 2 hours past the normal checkout time.
I would certainly stay here again.
