Hudson Durfee Lake Hotels

"Nice little place. Great staff."

"This is a really run-down, low-quality motel. SKIP IT! DANGEROUS (maybe even illegal) items: Water is scaldingly hot. The single-handle control in shower is broken, spins 360 degrees, so it's VERY difficult to avoid being burned. My wife burned her face before we knew it was broken. There are NO smoke alarms in room. No grab bars ANYWHERE in bathroom/shower. The step down outside the door is almost a foot high, with no hand-hold. Very dangerous if you're not exceedingly careful. Needs another intermediate step outside door. Deadbolt lock inop/damaged. Useless NO ONE is on-site. No phone in rooms. Calling motel number gets only a voicemail, and a text with partial answer to questions "sometime" later. Non-Dangerous Items/Convenience: Needs: Another small waste container bathroom Extra bath mat for multi-day stay Mat in front of sink As I said, there is no one on site, and they don't send instructions for checkin until "just before check-in". The basic instructions, including WHEN to expect the details, should be sent with reservation confirmation. Very basic "Nice-to-have:" There are almost NO amenities: Only the tiniest sliver of soap for 3 days, no shampoo. No Kleenex. Curtains don't cover windows. No chair/desk anywhere, or luggage racks. Just an extremely flimsy round bedside table. No place to put suitcases. No garment hooks in bathroom for clothes. Some of these would be very inexpensive to address. In any case, we will NOT be staying there again."

"Great place to stay. Easy to get to. Staff was super friendly and helpful. "

"Pool was a bit crowded but big and clean. Temp on pool and hot tub good. Short toilet in room which made it hard to get up and down off of it.The breakfast was very disappointing. No potatoes and every meat and gravy made of pork. The rest was sugar and gluten. So if you are looking for anything quality to eat, skip the breakfast. No teas after 10am so unless you drink only coffee you are out of luck. Coffee was not good either. It used to be Ekberts but it has been changed to something AWEFUL. Even my husband didn't like it. For a classy place they need a better food management."

"Nice"

"Very nice facility "

"The room needed updates and repairs - grouting in the tub area was discoloring and missing, bolts that anchored the toilet were missing the coverings, sheets did not fit properly and were sliding off the mattress, sheets were also thin and worn. "

"This was my second time staying at the Golden Retreat with my girlfriends and it was just as wonderful as the last time we stayed. We spent 4 nights here to celebrate a long Galentine's weekend. This house is the perfect little cozy cottage to gather with loved ones and take a break from reality. The views of the icy lake were great and Kristi is always VERY responsive to messages. We've stayed here twice in February but hope to book it again in the spring/summer to enjoy some outdoor time on the lake. Thank you again for your hospitality and attention to detail 3"

"The room was great! "
