Courtyard by Marriott Lake George NY [Master Thread]
This is a relative new hotel, opened in September 2016 and it is less than 3 years old by now.

It is Marriott's Category 5 hotel with 35,000 redemption value. It is perfect to use the 35,000 point annual reward nights. Its peak season price can be as high as $360+ per night. You'll have to book reward nights early since the hotel sells out very quickly during summer peak season.
Check-in: No bell staff at all. Front staff is friendly. Upon asking as Marriott Platinum member, given a large guest room with two King size beds on the top 6th floor. It is facing lake and there is an nice balcony. The rooms are of various other sizes, but the room sizes are very similar. Lake view rooms are highly desirable. It has a two-level parking garage and guests are given a parking sticker.
Guest Room: The room was ready when we checked in. It is very clean. Look and feel like new. Bathroom is good size, very comfortable.
Dining: There is a hobby lounge, a coffee shop and a full restaurant. They are all independent businesses, not directly related to the hotel. But you can charge to hotel room. Platinum and above receive the $10/day F+B to use at its market, but at those restaurants since they are not part of the hotel.
This hotel is at the heart of Lake George and is the newest hotel and probably the tallest hotel. It is close to all attractions. This is a wonderful hotel to use the 35,000 annual reward night. The room can hold a family of 4 easily.

Yes, nothing is better than a new hotel in a popular location and can be redeemed with the common credit card annual free night.

My family and I stayed at this hotel for a brief stay on July 4th. It was a newer hotel. The rooms were standard fare for a Courtyard. We had a lake view, which primarily overlooked other smaller resorts, and then the lake. This property was probably the newest in the Lake George area. This property had an adjoining restaurant which served a very good breakfast. The general location made it very convenient to families who wanted to visit the Lake George area without constantly driving everywhere

FYI my stay at this property was sub-par benefit wise as they didn't want to honor a 4PM checkout that I only demanded out of spite after they refused to let my guest check in a few hours prior to my arrival. Turns out they don't offer breakfast using the same "3rd party" scam.
