We stayed at Surfside on a weekend outing to Lake George. The hotel has clean, average size rooms. Our suite faced the lake. The beds were comfortable and quiet. Our particular room has a reflector light on top of the lakeside window which disturbed us at sleep time, and it could not be turned off. Otherwise our accommodations were reasonably... More

Well, you can't complain about the views. I mean...wow. The location and layout of the property is really well done, a little bit old fashioned, and family friendly all the way. The wonderful thing is that this is a classic old property that's being lovingly restored to it's 1950's charm. The bad thing is that this is a classic old... More

Surfside is a nice hotel with a small beach and nice views from the lake view rooms. They have all that you need for a Lake George getaway and they are only a five minute from the center of town. The staff is friendly and helpful to the guests.

We went off season so it was VERY inexpensive.Rooms were very clean and comfortable. So close to the lake...The owner was so sweet and even gave us free boat cruise tickets. We will most certainly go back again. No frills off season..most of the attractions and hotel restaurants were closed.We were fine with that as we hate crowds.This place is... More

The only reason we stayed here was because our group had booked this hotel. It’s an old hotel with a small room and new bathroom sink and modular shower/tub. The sink space has almost no room for your toiletries. In the shower, you must press buttons on a dispenser to get your soap/shampoo. The ceiling fan automatically goes on when... More

The view from our room was nothing less that wonderful. The private beach is right there and all you do is step out of your sliding glass door to see the fireworks. All the cruise ships from the lake go right by. It is very walkable to town as well. But why isn't this review better than average? The breakfast... More

Surfside is a fairly family friendly resort very handily located near the centre of Lake George. Last year we stayed next door and saw the swimming pool and beach and decided this year that we would go to Surfside. The beach and pool are great. Both are in use a lot by the families here. There is a decent children's... More

We stayed at the Surfside hotel from August 25-31. We chose this hotel because it was located on the lake with a private beach, was close to the village and was inexpensive compared to other hotels in Lake George. Our room was located in the north wing and was small but worked for our family of 4. Housekeeping was okay,... More

In the height of high season, my friend and I stayed at the Surfside with our children (4 in total). We selected this property as my brother and his family were also staying at this resort. I found the staff to be less then hospitable during our stay and a myriad of “rules” did put a damper on some of... More
