The Sagamore Resort

Same menu for lunch and dinner, with food sounding and tasting like it came out of a buffet diner. Incredibly slow service for the few people eating. Looked up some restaurants on Tripadvisor that were nearby and found some really great ones. Eat in town and avoid the restaurants at this hotel. Otherwise, we really liked the property and the complimentary boat rides around the lake. Had lots of fun at the recreation center, that is sort of like a big airplane hanger with a wiffle baseball field, basketball court, a mini golf course, ping pong tables, pool tables and an array of other games. However, it was not promoted at all by the hotel and it was not staffed. We were the only ones using it and we actually found it quite by accident. Good gym as well, but it also was not staffed and not promoted. Lots of opportunity here for somebody in the hotel management business.

Wanted to see the Sagamore as I had never been here so we decided to go for a cocktail on a Sunday afternoon. It was crowded and I have to say, the service was awful. Not enough waitstaff and took forever for someone to clean the table and take our order. When we were done we had to find someone to give us our bill and they weren't even sure it was the right one. Not impressed at all.....

My husband I booked a long weekend away to celebrate our birthdays. It was our first time at Lake George. I booked a King Size bed and the picture on Trip Advisor looked like a large, clean room with a view of the lake. We checked in at the main hotel and became excited for our stay based on the beauty of the lobby. The receptionist was very nice. When we headed to our room in the "lodge section", we were disappointed by the broken outside door and door to our closet, the very tiny room, and the non-elegant, outdated accommodations. We decided that most of our stay would be outside the room, so we did not say anything to the receptionist. Plus, I overheard another receptionist mentioning that the resort was fully booked secondary to a wedding being held that evening. We decided to get drinks on the back terrace, and took no time to notice that the wait staff seemed unfriendly. We figured it must be because it was "off season." Later that evening, we went to grab drinks and dinner in the pub. Again, we felt like we were inconveniencing the hostess. There were plenty of open tables, but she stated that there would be a 10 minute wait. We decided to order two drinks and grab a seat at the bar. We were not far from the hostess station, when my phone later rang and the hostess notified us that our table was ready. It was really awkward because she could have walked over to where we were sitting to let us know. She then brought us directly behind that first table. Again, we felt like something was missing. The attention to detail was missing from start to finish. Overall, we were not impressed with the accommodations and wait staff.

The Sagamore is a lovely Hotel with a perfect setting, on a Hill looking down Lake George. Season permitting, included in the Room Fee is a Lake Boat Trip on 'The Morgan', a great Ship that holds 75 people. FYI: Get on line early - 1st come, 1st get! No reservations. The Golf Course is a Donald Ross design- very pretty but beware, very hilly. Food was great. If there in warm temps, have your Breakfast, and Dinner, outside. Lake views! Employees very attentive. Everything perfect, Fall Foliage not being near Peak. This was during the few days after the Columbus Day Holiday.) Late colors but still pretty.

We visited this beautiful resort the last weekend of September! What a treat! There is plenty to do; great lounges, and the Italian restaurant offered wonderful food, ambiance, and service. We had the ala carte breakfast on the patio and it was also scrumptious! There is nothing left to be desired here- from fishing to a man made beach to a boat ride included in your rate! A must any time of year when visiting the Lake George area.
