After reading all the mixed reviews I decided to give this place a try and I'm glad I did! I made some specific notes before and during our stay, and I would like to air a few "complaints" I had read prior to arriving. I have come to the conclusion that the people who think this motel is a dump... more

Stayed here as a child every summer, some recent reviews scared me. However, I was very happy with our stay. I have to say not much has changed since the early 70's of my youth, but that isn't neccessarily a bad thing. Our room was clean and well tended.(#43) No odors, mildew, bugs or any of that (as previously complained... more

Scotty's offered a great location downtown where my family an I could walk to the shops and pick a different restaurant every day. They had both beach and pool, as well as a pretty well equipped snack bar. The property is definitely showing its' age and will take you back to the 70's. We had the 3 room efficiency and... more

This place is a dump. I can't believe I actually paid money to stay at such a dive of a motel. Don't sleep on the beds. The owners could use some tranning in customer service, It seems they are not skilled in the art and are by no means people friendly. I felt as if I was being a nuisance... more

I was looking for a hotel downtown and with a boat dock. They seemed to have what we were looking for. I saw some bad reviews, but the pictures looked clean. Rundown but okay. What a mistake!! The place is so bad it was depressing being there. It costs so much to go to Lake George and the owners and... more

soctty's served it's purpose the reason being that soctty's was right on the strip of the village. I was there for three days for labor day weekend and it was great. My wife and I had a great time we just went to sleep at the motel. Know scottys does need to be renovated in a hurry. 'The beach that... more

We decided to visit LG last minute and not much was available so my boyfriend made a reservation at Scotty's. He stayed there as a kid and had fond memories. Trust me nothing has been changed or renovated in 20 years. The fact this hotel was the only one in the area with availability on the weekend peak season should... more

First, let me say I read all the reviews before I went to Scotty's. I looked at a couple of the good ones and thought I would give them the benefit of doubt. I have MANY fond memories of Scotty's from childhood. I thought I would bring my family back after about 30 years of being away. I called up... more

I've been staying at Scotty's Motel for about the last 4 years now. I like it. The staff is very nice, the people there are nice and for children, there is a lot to do. I always meet people there, and we have a blast. The beach area does collide with the boat docking, and so do the rocks in... more
