I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, just a short walk from the main strip and the beach area was enjoyable with plenty of activities for families. The rooms, however, were quite cramped, and the amenities could use some upgrades. While the service was friendly, I encountered some issues with housekeeping that dampened my overall stay. At almost $2000 for the week, I expected a bit more value for my money.

Rooms
5.0
The rooms were tight and not what I expected for a suite. The layout made it difficult to move around comfortably, and there was a noticeable lack of closet space.
Service

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. However, I consistently had to request basic supplies like towels and toilet paper during my stay.

We had a fantastic time at Scotty's Lakeside Resort! The kids loved every moment, especially with all the activities available right at the resort. The beach was fun, but we did notice some debris in the water. The rooms could use a bit of an upgrade, particularly the bathrooms. Overall, we felt it was great value for a family getaway, and we can't wait to come back next year!

I had a pleasant stay at Scotty's, which is ideally located near Lake George Village's attractions. The beach and pool facilities are great for families, but the noise from other guests and an unwelcome mouse in our suite detracted from the experience. Overall, it's family-friendly, but I might think twice about returning if the noise level and cleanliness issues persist.

Rooms
5.0
Our two-room suite was small but generally nice until we encountered a mouse, which was very disappointing. It could use some pest control and better cleanliness checks.
Service

The staff was mostly friendly and helpful, but the response to my complaints about noise and the mouse was not satisfactory, which left me feeling unheard.
Location

The location is perfect for accessing local attractions, making it very convenient for family outings and activities around the lake.
Dining

The cafe on site offers great snacks like refreshing smoothies but doesn't have a wide selection for sit-down dining, which was a bit of a letdown.
Facilities

The beach and pool area are well-maintained and ideal for family fun, with activities like ping pong and volleyball available. However, more upkeep is needed overall.

I've had a great experience at Scotty's. The atmosphere is vibrant and perfect for families, with excellent amenities like a pool and beach access that keep everyone entertained. The rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a cozy place to unwind after a fun day. However, it can get busy, especially with the sister hotel sharing facilities, which might be a slight inconvenience. Overall, the value for money is fantastic, especially for the families visiting.

This resort is an excellent family-friendly destination with a stunning private beach and plenty of activities for both kids and adults. The staff is accommodating, and the facilities are impressive. However, the dining options could improve, and the pool decking could be a safety concern when wet. Overall, it's a great place for summer vacations, especially for families with young children.

Rooms

The room was spacious and clean, perfect for our family, with enough space for a pack-n-play. However, it did have a musty smell, even though we had the air conditioning set low.
