The Sagamore Resort

Long-time repeat visitor at the Sagamore. Stayed 25+ times over the last 40 years. Agree with many of the sentiments posted by others: Pros - Best resort on Lake George - Amazing views & beautiful location - Lots of restaurant options esp during peak season - Great recreational options for kids & adults alike - Nice outdoor pools overlooking lake - Bolton Landing easy to walk to with lots of food/shopping Cons - Lodge & hotel rooms in need of refresh/modernization (not much different from last major rebuild in 1985) - Service can be inconsistent - Food quality can be inconsistent - Pools very crowded in summer; difficult to find chairs; often lots of yellowjackets - Room rates very high in peak season Will I return again? Absolutely, though I would like to see a major refurb in next 5 years or so.

This is a fine old resort hotel with a beautiful location on Lake George. We decided on a 3 day stay to celebrate our 57th anniversary. Our room was located in the lodges just a short walk from the resort hotel. The room was spacious with all the amenities expected of a high end property. The bathroom was a bit small but had everything needed. Our problem was with the unexpected number of families with small children. We are grandparents, we love little kids, but there seemed to be thousands of them. Because of the cost we expected a more sedate, older crowd. It was a 1st stay at the Sagamore. If we return it will be when school is in session.

The resort is incredible in terms of views, the pool, staff service, the restaurants, and the grounds in general. It's stunning. They had so many activities every day for the whole family: s'mores at night, all types of sports, a huge recreation room for kids with baseball, basketball, mini golf, arts and crafts, and movies, which was a huge hit with our 4 & 7 year olds. The only part of the trip that didn't hit the mark were the rooms. They were small, outdated, and musty. The bathroom was tiny for a family to share. If they updated the rooms, this would be a 5-star review.

We recently stayed at the Sagamore and really enjoyed it. Very historic building, very welcoming. Jodi Ann at the front desk was so personable and made us feel welcome right away. We met the manager, Kathy Rounds and she also was very kind. We golfed at their course and it was in great shape. We ate breakfast every day at the restaurant and the service was great. We had pizza in the lounge one night and it was delicious. We took the shuttle into Bolton Landing. It was very convenient and they picked us up just a few minutes after we called. We toured the lake on the Morgan and that was really great. We learned a lot of history about Lake George. We are looking forward to returning to The Sagamore.

The rooms are very dated and in need of a lot of work. The grounds and the lake are amazing. Food in all the restaurants was very good and the staff was very accommodating.
