Very clean and quaint. We were surprised how much you could hear the other guests, especially when using water,(flushing the toilet, running the shower, etc). In addition, the shower water pressure was way to hard to the point of being painful.

We have been coming to Surfside for over 10 years and keep coming back. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, eaay check in, and relaxing grounds. We love the option of being poolside or beach side. This time of year we dont go swimming but we still enjoy sitting in the beach chairs to watch the sun rise with a cup of coffee. They are updating the cabana bar! We cant wait to come back next season to check it out! We highly reccomend staying at the Surfside! Walkable to all that Lake George downtown has to offer, shopping, food, arcades, bars, biat tours, ALL OF IT!

Location is perfect for our trip. The staff was friendly. But the shower was awful. There was such a low water pressure it was hard to even wash shampoo out of your hair. And many of the showers were very very loud.

Booked this hotel last minute for a one overnight stay. It was fall and chilly so we went to adjust the heat but it would not turn on. Maintenance came to fix it but after going to dinner, it was still cold in the room. Had to call maintenance again to come fix it again. They came back again and said it was fixed again and the room should warm up soon.

Very disappointed that the bar and restaurant was not open it was the reason we booked this place and on top of it we still had to pay a resort fee when nothing was open.

This is basically a pretty decent hotel. Its main attraction is that it’s a 2 to 3 minute walk down to the beach. I’m a guy, and I normally don’t notice these things, but the extremely wild colors of the carpet in.the main hallway and decor in the room is a bit much. Otherwise, the room is OK, nothing is extraordinary about it. I am not sure why it was rated an eight on Expedia. I would put it at a 6

Great rooms, great location!!

This a great hotel, reasonably priced for the area (in early October). With its own beach and pool, and in walking distance to the downtown area, it really can’t be beat! I enjoyed my stay so much that I asked to stay another night and while my current room was unavailable, they let me move straight away into a room downstairs. Both rooms were nice, but had noticeable dust and heavy cobwebs on the walls and lights above the sink; everything else was very clean! My only complaint is that the plumbing/water in the shower is so insanely loud- I could even hear the neighbors. These are minor in the grand scheme, if you are ever in the Adirondacks/visiting Lake George, I highly recommend staying here!!
