Of all of the places I've stayed where there wasn't someone at the front desk, this was by far the smoothest. The check-in procedure was clearly communicated via email and text, and it was easy to get into the room upon arrival. While the motel was clearly a decades-old structure, a great deal of care was taken to class it up with the Great Gatsby theme and branding. The TV had a Roku, which meant that we could access all of our streaming services. And the WiFi was decent and easy to use.

The only real downside was that the room uses a mini-split heater/AC. We were in town in early April for the solar eclipse, which is still quite chilly in the Adirondacks. The unit was VERY noisy, and kicked on and off throughout the night. Our eventual solution was to kick up and get the room nice and toasty, and then shut it off all together for the night. After that, it was easy to get to sleep; without light pollution outdoors the room was nice and dark!

Booked a weekend trip for our anniversary and this was a great getaway. My wife adored the charming decor and we enjoyed our stay. The owners had just overhauled the entire motel and everything was brand new and clean. They were very welcoming and told us all about the area. Good bar and restaurants just 2 mins walk away, with a beach right next to it. We went hiking and swimming and had a blast. 10/10 would recommend

The motel/inn was small but charming and updated. The details were perfect right up to the little pink refrigerator made to look old fashioned. We enjoyed walking the charming neighborhoods and the closeness to the lake and restaurant. It was very clean.

The outdoor space just consisted of 2 chairs facing over the busy road, but we it did allow for glimpses of the lake.

peoples are so kind and friendly and motel has private beach right front of lake water is really clean restaurantand bar is inside of beach around more other social activities and more options are i will visit back soon

everything was excellent thnk u much for Great Gatsby Motel

Room was lovely. Fab location near the lake (with access to the shared, private beach). Beds were comfortable. Shower worked fine. Would def recommend. Our room was compact but did what it needed to do for an overnight stay.

Beds in our room were a bit squeaky due to the metal bed frame. Light above our bed didn't work

One-of-a-kind experience in Upstate New York! I was looking for a unique getaway over the long weekend and saw this beautiful hotel listed on the site. Since it was a new listing I called the hotel to make sure everything was legit - the owners were so sweet and told me that they had just renovated the entire building and put in brand new furnishings and decor. I decided to book and let me tell you, the place looked even better in person. If you’re a fan of themed hotels you won’t want to miss this. My boyfriend and I love classic films and this place felt like it transported us back to the roaring 20’s! We got a beautiful room decorated in shades of blue and gold, complete with detailed decor. This hotel was also in a great location, right next to the Sacandaga Lake with access to a small private beach 2 mins walk away. Spent the weekend on the hiking trails, swimming, biking. Also visited Saratoga Springs, was just a 30 min drive away. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a weekend in Upstate NY.

The new owners really took pride and lots of creativity in remodeling this motel. We just loved our "Party Like Daisy" room with its gold glittering wall paper that sparkled under the tiny twinkle lights! That's not all that sparkled...the room was sparkling clean with comfortable beds and the perfect decor and furnishings that fit the theme. We also loved the patio right outside the room! Super friendly owner. Can't wait to stay there again just to see another one of the creative rooms!

Absolutely love the Gatsby theme and the location. Such a cool idea and can’t wait to come back and try another room and visit the local pub!

The beds weren’t the most comfortable thing in the world but that was ok for the short stay.

The room was spotless and beautifully decorated.

The room was on the small side and did not have a closet, so a few more shelves for luggage storage would have been helpful.

Great location across the street from the lake Sacandaga and beach. We were there for a nearby family reunion and the location was perfect. The room was small but clean and well equipped. The motel was very quiet and peaceful. I would stay there again.

Nothing.
