Places to Stay for the Big Day!!!

Hello Everyone,

We are so happy that so many of you find the blog a good way to communicate our plans.

While we are still 8 months away from the wedding we wanted to share with all of you the hotels that we have "banked" rooms with.

All of the below hotels offer buffet breakfast included in the room rates, and all have indoor pools. We have reserved rooms at all the hotels, all you need to do is call the hotel and indicate that you are looking to reserve a room for the SMITH-BIGGINS wedding. All of the rooms are considered suites, and therefore have microwaves and mini fridges in them. Please keep in mind that this is off season for the Lake George area and thus there won't be a ton of things to do. The hotels are all within 15 miles of where the wedding will be held, however we are looking to provide transportation for our guests from the hotels to my parent's house. This piece is still being worked on so more details to follow. For those of you who love to shop there is a section of outlet shopping very very close which is called "The Miracle Mile".

Here are the hotels with their website addresses and telephone numbers. Please email us or post a comment if you have any questions. Please remember you must call the hotels to get the rates we post below. Booking on line will not get the same rates. PLEASE also note that the rooms are held for our wedding until 45 days prior to May 3rd at that time the rooms are released for regular sale (we can still get the wedding rates the hotels just don't guarantee rooms will be available)

I personally visited each of the above hotels and they are all very nice. I have no doubt that you will be very happy no matter which one you choose.

Lastly, the closest airport is Albany Airport, the airport is about 45 minutes away from the hotels. Depending on where you are coming from Southwest is a good option, along with many other airlines.

As always please post any comments/questions/concerns or feel free to email us.
