Wakita Court Motel

We stayed here 6 months ago for one night when we were visiting for The Great Escape. First off - this motel is in a VERY good location. It is right next to the theme park within walking distance and across the street is one of the best ice cream places I've been to (Martha's Dandy Cream). The rooms here however are pretty old and need major updating. I'll start off by saying the TV was nice, and the coffee machine seemed pretty up to date though we don't drink coffee. Our A.C. unit worked without issues and so did the mini fridge. The bathroom however needed a lot of work. An odd looking sink, no hair dryer, and really old shower that had poor plumbing. When we were there however the manager, Joanna, who was absolutely fantastic, was very friendly and helpful. She told us that they were w

We love the Wakita. My family and friends have been staying at the Wakita for more than 10 years. The location is great. It's right next to the amusement park and directly across the street from Martha's so we can get ice cream whenever we want. We love to sit out on the porch and watch all the activity. The pool is the best. You won't find a larger one in the area. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. We really like the pine paneling. It gives it an Adirondack feel. The the staff is the best. They're always friendly and courteous. They really make you feel welcome!

Located next to the Great Escape, this small friendly Motel will remind you of traveling with your family back in the day. No frills, just clean friendly service. The pool was nice, the room was clean and nicely decorated. Actually got handed a Key instead of a card to unlock the door. For the location is was very quiet.

My nephew requested his birthday party out of the area, so my family and I stayed at the Wakita for two nights. ||I haven't read the other two reviews on here but I am flabbergasted at a 2 star rating. No, it wasn't high tech but in all reality, what are you really looking for in a motel room? I personally look for a comfortable bed and great location. When I got to the room, it was clean; smelled good and had hot water. The partnership with Country Inn and Suites is nice because of breakfast. Martha's across the street; Great Escape next door; Lake George Village about a 5 minute drive depending on outlets (another perk) traffic and a drive in very close. Nephew had a great time and I enjoyed the area and my room very much.

So for the money it was a little over priced, but I would stay again. The pool was nice, and clean. The room wasn't huge but wasn't small either. The fridge and microwave were nice. My sisters boyfriend thinks the shower head needed to be hire (but it didn't bother me lol). At first the room was a little musty and you have to check in at the country suit and inn (up the hill from there) the staff was great I had a small over charge but they took care of it right away. Great location! Easy walk to the great escape (which is why we went) the creemee place across the road had the BEST ice cream. Next to restaurants and shopping. (My bed frame was broken on one of the queen beds we had which was annoying but the bed themselves were comfy). So don't expect the ritz but it's a nice places
