Cheap Hotels/Motels near Lake George?

First-timer. Looking to stay for 2 days, but on a budget.

Don%26#39;t have a car, so I%26#39;d like to stay where the action is. I%26#39;ve no problems stayng within walking distance to the lake.

Getting there via Amtrak/bus but can%26#39;t spend much. I%26#39;d say in the $100-300 range.

Looking on Priceline %26amp; Hotwire, as well as the hotel/motel websites and can%26#39;t see anything that I%26#39;d put actual head-to-pillow LOL! Some of these places look grimy, folks.

Suggestions, tips, all welcomed.

Without a car you are really quite limited. Unlike NYC area - upstate is more geared to having a car. There are some name brand hotels in Lake George Village area but the ones in the heart of it all are smaller private places. Have you tried Fort William Henry Resort and Conference Center? Not sure of the pricing but it is close to everything. Since I have not stayed in a hotel on the strip in the village in nearly 20 years I can only speak to the outside grounds not where your head hits the pillow....sorry.

Fort William Henry%26#39;s motel side of the center is the cheaper part. The main hotel is very expensive. This is the best location. Across the street from this hotel is the Quality Inn which is reasonable also. It%26#39;s across the street from the lake. Nice rooms, great pool and free contintental breakfast. You can walk to everything from both of these hotels. These are the only ones I have stayed on the strip. On the other end of the strip is an Econo Lodge which is still in walking distance. Check that one out too.
