Plattsburgh Hotels with Gym

We should have known from what we paid for this one night stay, but we took a chance on an express deal, hoping for a good deal. When we arrived the office is in a building away from the main part of the hotel. The hotel itself is back from the street, behind other buildings and we missed the sign the first time we drove by. The person checking us in wasn’t unfriendly per se but very business like and to the point. He certainly didn’t make us seem very welcome. We were given verbal directions to our room which was located on the second floor and please note, there are no elevators, so you must be able to climb the stairs. There was a huge pot hole in the driveway to get to our room, which we hit because we were looking at signage for our entrance. When we opened the door to the building, the smell of some sort of air freshener about knocked us over. It’s almost like they are trying to cover up smoke or a musty smell by using it extra strength. Our room was fairly clean, although I really questioned if the sheets had been changed or just smoothed out and tucked back in. I promptly took wipes and wiped everything down. The air conditioning unit made a chirping noise almost like a cricket being in the room. The tub had cigarette burns on it or that is at least what they looked like to me. The nonslip mat was brown in the bottom of the tub, which while it might have been that color, was pretty outdated. In fact the whole hotel is very outdated. I offered to change hotels and “eat” the cost of the room, but my husband assured me we would be ok as it was just overnight. We did stay the night, but we did not attempt to eat breakfast there or use the pool so I can’t speak about how those were, but they are offered. Over all, if you are desperate and just need a room for the night, it will be fine, but you can find much nicer places to stay in the area for just a little more than what we paid for this room.

Located in the Adirondack Mountains off I-87 our Super 8 Plattsburgh hotel near Lake Champlain is just 20 minutes from the Canadian border. Lake Placid NY and Burlington VT are less than an hour away.

This is a NCSE (Nice-Clean-Safe-Economical) motel and the price was very fair for the area...most local/other chains were much higher. They had a nice breakfast with hot food items and normal continental items. The price was a little higher than our target ”retired-deep south” budget but it was still very fair for the area and since we were there during their prime season (August), it was understandable. I don't know if we'll ever get back up that way again, but if we do, I would consider staying with them. I would also recommend this motel to our friends and relatives. Best wishes to the owner/management for the future and thanks again for a nice experience and good stay!
