?Disorganized and Money Hungry Staff...renter BEWARE!!!?

I booked the Thunderbird for a family vacation. We booked 2 rooms and were told that each room had 2 double beds and 2 twin beds, as well as a futon. When we arrived and checked into our rooms there were only 3 beds in each unit. The owner's daughter said she would give us a free motel room to make up for the difference in beds. Once the owner got on site she would not honor her daughters promise and offered to bring an extra bed into each unit. That never happened. We also received the key for our second room early (again by the daughter) and was told that we may check in to that room a day early. We figured this was to make up for the mistake of the beds. The weekend continued to bring problems when we went to rent a boat. The terms and conditions were not explained to us and then the rude renter told us we should have read the fine print of the document and charged us an additional fee for gas, because we didn't fill up. How are we suppose to know where to fill up a boat, we are not from the area. After that my four year old cousin fell on her head when the chain to the swing she was on snapped off the beam. The staff could care less that she got hurt and did nothing to make up for her injury. In fact, the broken swing sat on the ground for the rest of the weekend. However, the worst part of the weekend occurred when the owner's wife came around on Sunday morning looking for more money. (She also asked two other groups staying on the property the same weekend for more money) She was now expecting us to pay for the room that we checked into early. Now, we would have had no problem paying for the room, if her daughter did not tell us that we may check into the room early. After a conversation, she told us that we were all set, without any additional money. We thought our interactions were done with the staff until the owner, her husband, came into our doorway demanding that we leave in 30 minutes. He explained his wife felt scared of us and wanted us to leave. He called the police and forced us pack up in a thunderstorm. Without any refund or regret he watched us leave. Never in my life did I have a stay like this one!

Furthermore, the rooms were beat up, missing tiles in the bathroom floor. Air conditioner in one unit did not blow cold air. Outdoor kids playhouses were covered in spiderwebs. Kitchen were described as being fully stocked, however, they only had 4-5 forks, 1-2 spoons and a knife that was so dull it didn't cut anything. There were a few dishes and 2 pots. Hardly enough for the guests the rooms held.

Do yourself a favor and find another place to stay...you will be thankful!
Stayed August 2011, traveled with family

Like the answer yes like to feel welcome, like family atmospheres beautiful surroundings filled with things to do right on the property, the best of both worlds that is within the thunderbird resort a world that seems to be its own serene but full of life and fun as well as just across the road and either side all up and down the beautiful Lake George shore as much as anyone could possibly want for. That said back to the answer YES that is and has been my Family?s experiences from our first experience over 3 decades (35 years) from our first encounter which was inquiring for lodging without Reservations when just about everywhere had turned us away no vacancies this wonderful Family run Establishment made extra efforts to accommodate us and we had and continue to have year after year wonderful vacation stays and always a feeling that they could not possibly try harder to please us and make our stay memorable and on top of that through the years of good time as well as recessions harder times have always been consistently fair in the area of costs for our stays as well as extras boat rentals jet skis ,and more. With all said above one might say there is bigger, more, better for one reason or another, and other places countries etc. and that may be so, even the Bill Gates, Donald Trumps , and tycoons on and on of the world will always be able to find the next greater place but as for us and my recommendations if a just plain great time with all the splendor of Lake /George and the atmosphere this wonderful place offers all I can say is try it you will see I am right , I hope who ever reads my comment give the Thunderbird Resort a call and give them a try , and I believe you too will say you?ve tried the rest and now have seen the best, and at the very least will have a wonderful stay with good honest hardworking lake resort and will no doubt as I do return there again and again, if you desire call and give them your number ill even call you back as soon as time allows me if you want a reference or have a question regarding my experiences in this comment I will also add that I choose Lake George and travel from Orange county (845) area to get there, Don and Family
