The Sagamore is a good spot for active couples who either have children or don't mind vacationing surrounded by them.
Lake George (the body of water, not the town) is simply magnificent and may inspire you to try a sport — sailing, kayaking — you never have before.
What Could Be Improved at the Sagamore Hotel
- Decor. Suites could use some freshening up.
- Bathrooms. Our bathroom had a very small bathtub and was only furnished with one bar of soap. (Fortunately, there is a well-stocked shop in the lobby, where we had our choice of emollients.)
- Housekeeping. On our first night, the bed was turned down and a ballotin of yummy chocolates was left atop it. But the room was not cleaned nor the bed made by 3:30 pm the next day. A call to housekeeping yielded a chambermaid who tidied the room while we were at dinner.
- Food service. The less pretentious and more casual the food we sampled at The Sagamore, the better it was. When the hotel sticks to the basics, charges reasonably, and provides attentive service, it's an appealing place for a getaway.
