Scotty's Lakeside Resort

The location and amenities are awesome! Right on Lake George, very close to all the shops and restaurants and bars on Lake Shore Drive. You can go chill on the beach and watch the Minnie Ha Ha and all the ferries on the lake while the kids play in the pool, splash pad and playground. They rent boats, pontoons, kayaks, and paddle boats too. There is a big outdoor sitting area with comfortable Adirondack chairs around huge fire pits where you can bring your drinks from the bar and sit right on the lake shore while the kids play. This place would be great to stay in the summer. Walking distance to all the fun places in Lake George village, it's such a fun location, and also a great price.

We stayed here the first week of fall so it was a little too cold to be playing in the water. The room itself is very very basic and not especially comfortable to spend time in. It seems like more of a summertime place where you spend most of your time outside. Not so much a place where you'd feel comfortable chilling in your room with a book when it's too chilly outside to play around the lake.
I think you have to request room cleaning/restocking? Because housekeeping didn't stop by to replace our coffee/sugar or replace towels etc and there wasn't a door hanger thingie to request it. But we stopped into the office to ask for refills and they happily accommodated us. Service was great in the office and the little cafe, everyone was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and their coffee was good 👍

We will definitely be back here in the summer! The cooler months I think we'd pick somewhere more comfortable to spend time inside, like a cabin with comfy chairs, side tables, and a good coffee maker.

Location and staff are amazing.
This is my 4th time here over the past 10 years. Everytime I come something has ben updated and or improved.
Great family resort.
Walking distance to all attractions and a wonderful outdoor area.
And again the stusff is so nice!

We just spent a few days at Scotty's and it was AMAZING from beginning till end. We didn't want to leave!! Now we can't wait to go back. It was the best time ever!! This place is great. The staff couldn't have been nicer. The rooms are simple and very clean. Everything is very well run. The pool and beach/lake is relaxing and really enjoyable day and night. There is a Cafe on site with everything you could want made to order. A close walk to town and everything is at your finger tips. There are so many Restaurants to choose from. Thank you Scotty's for making our stay such a pleasant one. We can't wait to see you next year.

This is an average motel with a great location and above average outdoor amenities.

The pool, kiddie pool, beach area, playground, basketball court, lake, and outdoor Cafe are convenient and very nice. If you have kids, they're going to love swimming and hanging out here.
There is a small, roped-off area for swimming in the lake, as well as an activity area where you can rent paddle boats, pale boards, or kayaks by the hour.

The negative here is that while there are lots of lounge chairs at the beach and pool, there unfortunately aren't enough.
People will routinely take towels to 'claim' chairs early in the morning, only never to actually use them.
Case in point, a group of people next to us at the pool claimed 4 chairs and never showed up until after 3pm to use them.
I recommend simply removing towels and using the chairs.

The room we stayed in was average. It had a queen and full sized bed, small fridge, TV, and air conditioner. The bathroom was at a noticeable slant. The air conditioner required you to stand on a chair to operate it, and only worked in 'automatic' mode. The walls and windows are thin, so you will hear all your neighbors.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
The drive to 'town' is less than a minute.

Overall, I would stay here again.

This place is really great. Wished we stayed longer. The pool and beach were very convenient and nice. I just really like the look of the whole place. Was a bit crowded when we first got there , but I think that’s because it was a Friday in July. The lake view is incredible. The staff was very helpful. The kids absolutely loved it!! Will definitely be back.
