Memorial Day 2013 in Lake George

Start Spreading the News....The Big Apple Circus Returns to Lake George
The Big Apple Circus wants to make Lake George an annual engagement. The circus is a great "rainy day" event. The tent is air conditioned and designed in such a way that you are never more than 50 feet from the center ring. The show is all-new every year and the price is perfect: a family of four can have an afternoon of fun for under $100! The pride and care that the folks at the Big Apple Circus put into their product is nothing short of amazing. The 2013 show is a salute to the circuses of yesteryear and features an assortment of acrobats, performers and clowns (not the scary kind). Learn more about the 2013 show here or check-out some of their YouTube videos here. Wednesday, February 20, 2013

A LAKE GEORGE MOTEL MONTREAL CHRISTMAS:
by Rob Gregor
'Twas the night before Christmas, and
all through the hotel
Not a creature was stirring and I was sleeping well;
The neon sign was lit up with care,
In hopes that our guests soon would be there;
The travelers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of the Minne Ha-Ha danced in their heads;
And Nerisha in her PJs, and I in my sweats,
Had just realized that life in Lake George is as good as it gets
When out in the parking lot there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I grumpily trudged,
Pushed on the window but it barely budged.
The moon on the cars parked in my lot
Made the Motel Montreal look like a great spot,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a bus from Nova Scotia carrying lots of beer,
With a little old driver, so tired and irate,
I knew in a moment his stay was not going to be great.
As he tried to find parking he yelled up to me
“We have no reservation but do you have a vacancy?”;
I told him I had nothing for such a big group,
I was nearly out of rooms, not even a stoop.
To my neighbors at Lake Haven and Shore Meadows I suggested they go,
But be careful because Lake Ave is slick in the snow.
As loose lumber from a truck surely does fly,
They skidded down Lake Ave, I thought they would die,
Not a creature was stirring and I was sleeping well;
The neon sign was lit up with care,
In hopes that our guests soon would be there;
The travelers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of the Minne Ha-Ha danced in their heads;
And Nerisha in her PJs, and I in my sweats,
Had just realized that life in Lake George is as good as it gets
When out in the parking lot there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I grumpily trudged,
Pushed on the window but it barely budged.
The moon on the cars parked in my lot
Made the Motel Montreal look like a great spot,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a bus from Nova Scotia carrying lots of beer,
With a little old driver, so tired and irate,
I knew in a moment his stay was not going to be great.
As he tried to find parking he yelled up to me
“We have no reservation but do you have a vacancy?”;
I told him I had nothing for such a big group,
I was nearly out of rooms, not even a stoop.
To my neighbors at Lake Haven and Shore Meadows I suggested they go,
But be careful because Lake Ave is slick in the snow.
As loose lumber from a truck surely does fly,
They skidded down Lake Ave, I thought they would die,
But much to my satisfaction, they were able to survive,
Without a bump or a bruise safely they did arrive.
And then with a curse I heard the driver proclaim,
“Lake George is full, this is f@#!in’ insane.”
As I drew in my hand, and headed to bed,
Back came the bus driver filled with dread.
He had sold a tour group but forgotten to book a hotel,
If he admitted this to his customers, it would not sit well.;
A bundle of cash he had at the ready,
And he looked a little bit mentally unsteady .
His eyes showed desperation; his smile was so crazy,
And I told him next time to make reservations, don’t be so lazy.
His expression seemed to think me unkind
When a great idea came to my mind;
True, I lacked hotel rooms for his travelling school,
But I have a large room under the pool.
The driver borne a look of shock and dismay,
But take it he did for a one night’s stay.
He spoke not a word, but nodded his head,
And asked for help making the beds,
And giving a thumbs-up to the riders of the bus,
He ushered them off without a fuss;
The driver told the guests that the hotel was called “Under the Pool”,
But believe him they did not, they thought him a fool!
But I heard him exclaim, as I shut off the light.
Next time I will book the Motel Montreal in advance and then we will all sleep tight!

Thankful For You
Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day in the United States. The day was filled with friends, copious amounts of turkey and potatoes (sweet, garlic mashed and au gratin) and a New York Jets disaster that makes me wonder if Vinny Testaverde is available for next Sunday. Most importantly, Thanksgiving Day gives me a chance to reflect on how lucky I am and how thankful I should be. I am very thankful for my family and for my health and I am incredibly thankful to be the owner of the Motel Montreal and to live in Lake George. None of this is possible without our repeat guests, loyal visitors and Lake George vacationers and I am very thankful for every guest that comes through our doors at the Motel Montreal. Although we are closed for the winter, I am busy making 2013 very special for all of our guests. Keep an eye on our Special Offers and Discounts page for new hot deals on Lake George vacations including dining packages, Great Escape and cruise tickets and other great discounted family vacation packages. Also, in 2013 we will roll out 10 newly renovated guestrooms and an improved deck and pool area. Thank you for staying with us in 2012. Your business makes a difference in our family's life and your friendship means the world to me.

Americade 2012
Last week was Americade in Lake George and we at the Motel Montreal had a blast. Americade is a week long motorcycle rally where persons from all walks of life come to Lake George to share their common interest of everything motorcycle (i.e. channel their inner biker). This was our second Americade in Lake George as the owners of the Motel Montreal. The guests make the event and Americade in Lake George is the event of the season. We had a great time with JP and the 74th Crusaders out of Nova Scotia and with the Blue Nights from Paterson, NJ who have been long time guests at the Motel Montreal. A special thanks to Doug and Anthony of the Blue Nights for playing electrician and to JC of the East Coast Roadrunners for playing techie on our wireless routers. Also, thanks for the food, the beer and the laughs. Thank you to all of those who stayed with us during Americade 2012 and we hope to see you again for Americade 2013! Check-out pictures and video from Americade at the Motel Montreal and click on our video of the Saturday morning Americade parade here.
