Golden Gate Motel

Just on the shores of Lake Champlain on NY side. Our room was the closest to the shore. Our parking spot had a big dent likely because of the beach sand sinking. Check-in was a bit slow. We had to ask for wi-fi password (all others had a standard practice of giving it with key or leaving it in room). There was no TV menu or guide. There was no table or chair. Bathroom had been done nicely. Still our stay was comfortable.

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The 2 times I stayed here the room was quiet and clean but really could use some updates and minor repairs. Unfortunately during my stay the beach was closed due to covid-19

I loved every thing about it the room was spacious the bed was very comfy, beach was literally 5 ft away from my room. Will definitely use this motel for my New York trips & request same room.(Did have a few cobwebs killed 4 or 5 spiders). I answered a survey before leaving for my girls wedding & the owner came right up to me to speak with me over it. He is the first person to acknowledge the survey remarks for the very few I have made in the past at other motels/hotels. I of course took care of them myself before even seeing the survey. I let him know that he said sorry to me I thanked him & said I suggested they watch for those in the survey I answered so in future they would know to look for those. SO I DEF ENJOYED MOTEL LOVED MY ROOM LOCATION BEACH VERY NICE OWNER !!

We got the last room on the left closest to the beach. The room was recently remodeled yet had dated furniture. There were a few cobwebs but overall the room was clean. Only 2 pillows in room so bring your own if you need more. You ring bell at office for service and wait which took some time. The place does rent rooms long term to people who would otherwise be homeless which made me a little on edge but nobody bothered us at all. The private beach, that made it all worth it. The view from the room was very nice and the staff was very friendly. This room was very inexpensive so i was satisfied with what i got for the money and would stay there again in the future.

Bathroom was COVERED in spiders. Used my camping wipes to clean it, window was so covered in webs I got covered in them trying to clean them up. Came with half a roll of toilet paper plus one extra. Toilet sits at a strange tilted sideways angle - if you man spread on the toilet you won’t fit very well. TV was inside of a cabinet with doors, you could only see it from half of the bed and the picture was snowy on every channel. There is a fridge that freezes everything you put in it solid. You get one pillow per person, which isn’t enough as they’re pretty flat so I ended up buying my own at the Walmart down the street. The shower head stands at about 5ft 6in max (that’s how tall I am and my head was touching it). The air conditioner from the room above ours dropped water onto our AC all night which made it sound like a consistent metronome non stop. If you want to talk to someone you have to ring the bell or call and hope you get someone or that they walk by - no one stays in the office. Seems like most of the people on premises live there and it’s treated more like efficiency apartments than a travelers overnight destination. The beach view was nice and parking was good. No breakfast but coffee in the room. Dukes Diner around the corner was great. If you’re just passing through and need to stay for a night I wouldn’t knock it. We stayed 3 nights and then checked out early and went elsewhere.

The motel is right next to the lake which makes it scenic during the day and very relaxing at night. It's also just off the Northway which makes it easy to get to and just a few minutes' drive from the downtown area. My only complaint would be that the key to the door was apparently new and the door could take up to a minute to lock or unlock; one had to play around with the key for too long.

A quaint jewel - seems to bring 80's nostalgia. Right on the edge of lake Champlain with walking distance to the City beach. The lady at the reception was very nice and professional and left our doors open as we arrived after 9pm. Little update/touch-up on the property would be greatly appreciated by traveler like me. The rooms were clean and the utilities were functional - felt like 80's. Will be back again.

Great location. It was clean. Peaceful and pleasant. I would stay there again.

Just fine
