Lake George Luxury: Colonel Williams Resort & Suites Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the swirling lake of luxury that is Lake George Luxury: Colonel Williams Resort & Suites Awaits! This isn't your average cookie-cutter hotel review; this is a warts-and-all, heart-on-my-sleeve, "did I pack enough swimsuit?" kinda deep dive. And, full disclosure, I'm already daydreaming about the pool with a view… (more on that later.)
First Impressions (and the Accessibility Chat):
Right off the bat, let's talk about being inclusive. The Colonel Williams Resort & Suites is pretty darn good on the accessibility front. We're talking wheelchair accessible – yay! – and they've got elevators, which is crucial. So, if you're bringing along someone with mobility challenges, breathe easy. They've got facilities for disabled guests, too, which includes some of those all-important room features - like the additional toilet in the bathrooms. Very important. Exterior corridor access as well, so they've got that covered. It's a good start, but I'd love to hear more details about the practicalities from someone who has actually used them, you know?
Cleanliness and Safety: Ah, the Pandemic's Legacy (and the Sanitize-Everything Obsession):
Okay, let's be real, the modern traveler is obsessed with cleanliness. And the Colonel Williams Resort? They take it seriously. We're talking anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, professional-grade sanitizing services, and good ol’ fashioned hand sanitizer strategically placed everywhere. They even have a room sanitization opt-out option – which is a thoughtful touch. They're serious about safe dining setup, too which is great. The staff trained in safety protocol is important and I like how the daily disinfection in common areas is a routine. I felt a teeny tinge of anxiety when checking in; I am such a germaphobe, it's insane! But they really do seem to have it under control. They did mention something about individually-wrapped food options which, honestly, is kind of a bummer, but understandable these days. And speaking of things you can't eat right now… Shared stationery removed is just another example of their commitment to safe sanitation.
The Food and Beverage Bonanza (and My Stomach's Rumblings):
Okay, friends, this is where things get interesting. Dining options are plentiful! They’ve got restaurants, a bar, a poolside bar (YES!), a coffee shop, and a snack bar. Room service [24-hour]? Don't mind if I do, especially if I can get a breakfast in room option. (Lazy mornings are my love language! And with breakfast takeaway service, so I can almost roll back into bed with my coffee and a muffin. A la carte in restaurant, is good… but I'm always a sucker for restaurant with a buffet. And speaking of choices, they've got Asian cuisine in restaurant and Western cuisine in restaurant! I'm in!
Let's talk about the spa/wellness (and finding my Happy Place)… This is where it got REAL.
This is the part that really got me excited. The Colonel Williams Resort promises a full-on pampering experience. Let's start with the essentials: Gym/fitness center? Check. Swimming pool? Obviously. But we're talking about a Swimming pool [outdoor] with a pool with view! This is crucial. Like, my soul needs this. Then the spa itself! Sauna, steamroom, massage, spa, foot bath, body scrub, body wrap… it's a symphony of relaxation! Seriously, I'm getting all tingly just thinking about it! They even have a spa/sauna combo.
I once spent an entire afternoon at a spa… fell asleep during my massage and drooled a little. Mortifying. But also… heaven. This place just screams “escape.” I am totally imagining myself floating in that pool, staring at whatever serene view they've got, sipping a cocktail, and letting all the worries just… melt. The dream.
For the Kids (and the Parents Who Need a Break):
Listen, I don't have kids but I know the struggle is real. They have babysitting service, family/child friendly options, and Kids meal which is amazing!. This hotel definitely caters to families.
The Rooms: My Own Personal Oasis (and the Quest for Blackout Curtains):
Okay, the rooms. This is where the rubber meets the road, folks. First off, they've got non-smoking rooms – critical for a peaceful stay. They've got air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a coffee/tea maker, so I can make a cup of coffee in the morning. Free Wi-Fi! That's a must-have for me. They seem to be serious with amenities: Desk, Ironing facilities, Hair dryer, Toiletries, and towels. But the most important questions: Does it have blackout curtains? (I need my beauty sleep!) The mention of seating area is also nice, which can come in handy when I'm trying to work remotely in the comforts of my room.
Services and Conveniences: The Fine Print (and the Little Things That Matter):
They also offer services like daily housekeeping, dry cleaning, laundry service, and drumroll please room service [24-hour]! Concierge and doorman services that make you feel like a VIP. And all the safety features, the mention of **smoke detector, *fire extinguisher*, *CCTV outside property*, which is a big plus.
Getting Around and Getting Connected:
They offer Car park [free of charge] and plenty of car parking! Airport transfer? Yes, please! I'm all-in! Internet access – wireless and Wi-Fi [free].
The Bottom Line (and My Unapologetic Recommendation):
Look, the Colonel Williams Resort & Suites isn't just good; it's got potential to be amazing. It's got the location, the amenities, and the commitment to service that can create a truly memorable experience. Some things might be missing but let's be honest: Lake George isn't just a place to visit; it's a feeling. And this resort seems to understand that feeling.

Luxury Putrajaya Apartment: 7 Pax Sleeps, Unbeatable Views!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your sterile, pre-packaged itinerary. This is… well, my attempt to wrangle a weekend at Colonel Williams Resort & Suites in Lake George. Warning: May contain questionable decisions, existential sighs, and a severe lack of filter.
Friday: Arrival and the Great Lake George Guilt Trip
- Afternoon (ish) - The Great Escape (From Reality): Road trip! Packed the car like I was fleeing the apocalypse (turns out, maybe I was) Left later than planned, naturally. Traffic? Oh, the traffic. Honestly, it's a conspiracy, I tell you! They build these roads specifically to make me question my life choices. Finally, (and I mean finally) we arrive at Colonel Williams. First impression: Pretty. Like, really pretty. The lobby is all polished wood and that smell… that hotel smell… the promise of clean linens and… wait, is that a mild chlorine scent? Oh, sweet release!
- 3:00 PM - The Room Reveal (Cue the Dramatic Music): Okay, so the room. It's… adequate. View of the lake? Yes, but also the ridiculously loud air conditioning unit on the building next door. (Note to self: Earplugs. Get earplugs.) Unpacked. Tried to make the bed. Failed. It looks like a cat wrestled a duvet. (I blame the humidity. And possibly my lack of innate bed-making skills.)
- 4:00 PM - Lake George… And the Guilt: Took a walk along the lake. Gorgeous, truly stunning. The water shimmered. Boats cruised by. And then the guilt hit. "Why am I not running a marathon? Why am I not a better person? Why did I eat that second slice of pizza?" Lake George… it can be beautiful, but it's also a judgmental mistress. Bought a ridiculous "I Heart Lake George" t-shirt. Irony: Complete.
- 6:00 PM - Dinner Disaster (aka, the "Kids Menu" Incident): Went to the recommended restaurant. Seemed lovely. Until the children. Lord, the children. They were… let's say, energetic. And loud. And their table manners? Well, let's just say spaghetti ended up in places it shouldn't have. (I quietly judged the parents. Judge-y much, I know. But seriously.) Ordered a burger. It was… edible. The fries were soggy. Overall vibe? Meh. But hey, at least I survived.
- 8:00 PM - The Poolside Debrief and My Inner Self-Talk: Attempted to relax by the pool. Couldn't. Too many kids. Too much chlorine. Too much self-doubt. The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple. And I thought… Wow, am I ever going to get the chance to come back here a the time is running so fat. Just the thought of how I can be better, how am I gonna be better. I love this place, how can I have the time to do it again. Just like the place I was there with my ex-wife, everything just makes me feel the way I felt when I was with her.
Saturday: The Double Down on the Boat Ride and the Great Ice Cream Debacle
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast: A Mission (Failed): "Complimentary breakfast" they said. "Enjoy!" they said. Turns out, "complimentary" meant lukewarm scrambled eggs and rubbery bacon. Coffee was weak enough to use as a cleaning agent. I ate a dry muffin. Then I gave up and vowed to find better coffee. (Spoiler alert: I never did.)
- 10:00 AM - The Boat Ride… Again?: Okay, so yesterday's sunset boat cruise was… good. Like, "okay, I guess the lake is nice" good. But today? Today we commit. Booked the boat tour again. Figured this was my one chance to embrace the "Lake George Life". The boat. The wind whipping through my hair. The picturesque scenery… it's actually starting to sink in. I'm starting to feel something. Maybe it's the fresh air, the freedom, or the fact that I accidentally wore a slightly too-tight floral shirt. (Don't judge.)
- 1:00 PM - Lunch: A Picnic of Epic Proportions (Or at Least, A Sandwich): Picked up some sandwiches at the deli, with the great view of the water. Found a shady spot on the shores, and settled in for a relaxing lunch. The sound of the boat splashing water and the birds singing above me just made me feel at peace.
- 2:00 PM - The Great Ice Cream Debacle (And the Existential Crisis): Ice cream time. You can't go to Lake George without ice cream, right? Of course, the line wrapped around the block. Decided to go for a double scoop of something overly sugary. It melted immediately. And then it dripped. Down my hands, down my arm, onto my brand-new "I Love Lake George" t-shirt. And in that moment, standing there sticky and covered in melted dairy, I had a full-blown existential crisis. "What am I even doing with my life?" I wailed to the sky (loudly). "WHY did I choose the 'death by chocolate' flavor?" The ice cream, the shirt, the dripping… it was all symbolic of my life. A gooey, messy, rapidly melting work in progress.
- 3:00 PM - The pool (Again): Another attempt to relax by the pool. the kids were being a bit more chaotic. Got a water bottle and went to my room. Took a nap, and made a list of what I can do tomorrow.
- 6:00 PM - Dinner and More Existential Reflections: Another dinner. It was okay. Nothing special. Just sat there, looking at the lake and pondering the meaning of life. Or, you know, maybe just what kind of toppings I'll choose for my pizza on Sunday.
Sunday: Farewell, Lake George… And the Promise of Laundry
- 9:00 AM - The Final Breakfast (The Descent Into Despair): Same lukewarm eggs. Same rubbery bacon. Same existential dread. The end is near, and with it, the realization of the lack of good coffee.
- 10:00 AM - Check Out and Departure: Packed up the (mostly unpacked) suitcase. Said goodbye to the room. Said goodbye to the lake (with a slightly less judgmental look this time). The drive home. The inevitable post-vacation blues. The thought of doing laundry.
- Reflections: Lake George, you were a mixed bag. Beautiful, frustrating, delicious, and occasionally soul-crushing (ice cream incident, I'm looking at you). But hey, I survived. And I have an "I Heart Lake George" t-shirt to prove it. Will I return? Maybe. But next time, I'm bringing my own coffee. And maybe, just maybe, mastering the art of the perfect bed. (Probably not.)
So, like, what *is* Colonel Williams Resort & Suites, anyway? Sounds fancy. Is it *really* fancy?
Okay, so Colonel Williams... right. Fancy? Well, let's just say it *aims* for fancy. Think... a touch of old-school charm, sprinkled with a hefty dose of Lake George vacation vibes. It's not the Ritz, let me tell you. (And frankly, sometimes that's a good thing! Who wants all that stiff formality on vacation?) It's more like... picture a slightly-worn, but still-classy, family home. You know, the kind your wealthy aunt has? But with a pool. And a slightly-too-enthusiastic concierge. They *try* for luxury, but they also understand that you're probably here to wear a bad bathing suit and eat ice cream all day. So, you know, realistic luxury... kinda.
What kind of rooms are we talking about? Are they all like, suites?
Suites is *mostly* accurate. But again, with a little bit of "Lake George realism" thrown in. They do offer a range! You have your basic rooms, which are perfectly fine if you're mostly planning to be out exploring the lake. Then you jump up to the suites, which *are* kinda sweet. Spacious, often with a separate living area, sometimes a fireplace. One time, we had a suite with a *balcony* overlooking the pool. Pure bliss, until the screaming kids started the cannonball competitions at like, 8 AM. (Seriously, children, learn some manners!) And, I'm not gonna lie, a friend of mine once stayed in a suite that smelled a *tiny* bit of outdated floral air freshener. But overall? Pretty decent. Remember to peek at the pictures before you book, make sure you avoid the ones overlooking the parking lot! Ugh.
Pools & Amenities! Spill the tea. What's the deal?
Okay, the pool situation is *critical* in Lake George. Colonel Williams delivers...mostly. They have a pool. Actually, I think they have *several*. Outdoor pools, a hot tub... And a decent-enough fitness center (though let's be honest, who actually works out on vacation? I prefer the "sitting-on-a-lounge-chair-and-eating-chips" fitness plan). The pool area is often the *busiest* spot. Expect kids. Lots of kids. And inflatable flamingos. And the sweet sting of chlorine. The water...well, it's wet! All this sounds perfect! But when you go and you find that the hot tub is full of screaming children and the pool towels are a little thin, it can be a little disappointing.
Is there anything *particularly* cool about this place? What's it *really* got going for it?
Okay, here's where Colonel Williams shines, I think. The location, location, location! Seriously, it's *right there*. Walking distance to all the Lake George Village action. The lakefront is also a huge plus, stunning views! You can roll out of bed, grab some coffee, and be staring at the sparkling water in like, five minutes. It makes you feel like you're *actually* on vacation. Also, the staff, for the most part, are *super* friendly and helpful. They're genuinely trying to make your stay pleasant, even when you're asking for, like, twenty extra towels and a map to the best ice cream shop (which, BTW, is a *very* important question!). They are also usually flexible with check-in times! And the sunrises! Oh, the sunrises over the lake... *chef's kiss*. I mean, you *can't* buy that. (Well, you could, but it would be *very* expensive.)
How's the food situation? Breakfast? Restaurants? Or am I on my own?
Breakfast! They offer a complimentary breakfast, which is... serviceable. Think continental: bagels, muffins, cereal, fruit, maybe some eggs and sausage. It's enough to get you going, but don't expect a Michelin-star experience. Honestly, I'm fine with that. It's free, and it’s better than nothing. The on-site restaurant... well, I've heard mixed reviews. I'm more of a "go explore" kind of eater. Lake George has *amazing* food options. So, yes, you are mostly on your own for other meals, which is a good thing because you can get out there and try the *really* good stuff. There is something about the local lake restaurants that makes me want to come back every single year.
Okay, so you've stayed there. Anything I should *really* know before I go? Like, the *real* dirt?
Alright, listen up. The *real* dirt, huh? Okay, here's the thing: it's a vacation spot. It's not perfect. And sometimes, the "luxury" is... a *little* stretched. Here's the unvarnished truth:
- Parking: Can be a *nightmare* during peak season. Seriously, arrive early or prepare to walk a mile.
- Elevators: Sometimes slow. Like, *really* slow. Especially if you're on the top floor after a long day of boating. Bring your patience. And maybe a book.
- Noise: It's a family resort. Expect noise. Kids playing, families chatting, people generally having a good time. If you desperately need complete silence, you might want to look elsewhere. (Or bring earplugs. Those are your friends.)
- The "Lake George Vibe": Embrace it! Don't go expecting slick city hotels. It's more relaxed, more laid-back, and sometimes a little... quirky. It's part of the charm!
- One time, the air conditioning wasn't working. It was August. It was brutal. I had to call the front desk three times, but they did eventually fix it. So... bring a fan, just in case.
What's your *personal* experience? What's the *best* memory you've got from Colonel Williams? Spill it!
Okay, deep breath. This is going to get... a little emotional. The *best* memory? Hmm... It wasn't the fancy suite. It wasn't even the pool (although, I did have a pretty epic cannonball competition with my nephew one year - he won, by the way, the little show off!). It wasn't the breakfast. No. It was this... A few years ago, my grandmother, who was... well, she wasn't exactly a "traveling type," came with us. She was getting older, you know? And she was hesitant. She grumbled about the drive, the crowds, the whole dang thing. But we insisted. We booked a room with a balcony. And oneHotel Haven Now
