What really made the visit special, though, was the staff. Amber, Paige, and Cassie were all incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel so welcome. It was actually Cassie's first day, and she handled everything with such confidence and warmth--you'd never have known! She was awesome. Huge shout-out to the whole team for making our visit so memorable. We'll definitely be back!

Then, the reservation was said to have included reserved seats for the show but didn't seem like anyone knew what was going on when we went upstairs and they just gave us random seats. Luckily they were okay but it all just felt disorganized. The service was mediocre as was the food. We love the fact that they had live music (the solo artist was amazing) and the actual show - the comedy acts were absolutely fantastic. The idea is there, the execution was not. May try again someday.

I attended a local non-profit event at the Tower…read more First the positives: The view is wonderful. The waitresses and bar staff tried so hard to keep up with the 200 plus people at the event. They worked their tails off...but we had to get up and help with tables...they were under staffed. (Not their fault...obviously they do not do the hiring) Now the boo's.....the non-profit goes out of their way to make this a beautiful event for everyone in attendance and work hard all year planning this fundraiser to make money to help our local community struggling with a cancer battle. The Non-Profit Organization is a group of kind, caring and truly loving people. This is their number one fundraiser all year.....and the people they help in our community benefit from all their hard work. The decorations, details and thoughtfulness they pour into this yearly event is so evident to see. Sadly The Tower did not put the same details into their end of the facility. The food was absolutely horrid and we left starving hungry! Honestly it was cold, mushy and not fully cooked. It was all pulled from freezer food and truthfully it was the worse meal I have ever had. I happened to notice that we over-exceeded the room accommodations...the sign clearly stated one number and we were a larger group....when later asking after the event I learned the tower told the organization it could easily fit their group. Frankly we were crowded and its a wonderful thing the room was full of love for our community for else we may have been even more uncomfortable. The cleanliness of the room leaves a lot to be desired.....a cleaning crew could spend hours there! All that aside.....you attend a Dinner to eat.....the food was so nasty you could not eat! If you are looking into this space for event....I highly recommend a caterer. The food is not fit to feed humans! The Salmon was disgusting and smelled horrid. The chicken cordon bleu literally was a frozen piece thawed (half way may I add) and tasted awful..it was half frozen.....no white sauce to top it off either. The veggies.....who can go wrong with mixed veggies frozen and warmed? Somehow they did.....they were mushy and full of pepper or some funky seasoning! The bar was good....although the prices were a bit expensive. So it turned into a liquid dinner as the food was not edible. I have had the pleasure to eat all over the Glens Falls Area.....I can't recommend the tower to anyone.....for anything other then the view of the city skyline. They need some serious changes, new management and a decent chef. The non-profit organization is the only reason why we enjoyed the evening,.....they went above and beyond to make up for all the flaws....however I would not attend again if it was at The Tower.

My wife and I made our first visit to The Tower Event Center today, and loved it. Situated on the…read more9th floor of the Travelers Building (the tallest building in town, so there's no better view to be found), we enjoyed a hot, fresh buffet offering everything from soup (homemade clam chowder was amazing) and salad (fix your own with unusual items like fresh mozzerella available) to custom omelets, a carving station with ham and turkey, homemade mac and cheese, and an incredible array of desserts including cakes, brownies, cheesecakes, and much more. The chefs, servers and staff all go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your meal. Drinks are constantly refilled, which I always appreciate, and I noticed them offer to bring an omelet to one party's table, so certainly they do everything they can to provide top-notch service. We tried a little bit of everything, and only found one dish wanting, as the mac and cheese was a little dry. Everything else we sampled, from the soup and salad to the ham, turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy and desserts, was absolutely outstanding. For the price (about $25 per person including tax), you could have a much less enjoyable meal at many restaurants in the area, but The Tower offers excellent dishes in a buffet setting, with spectacular views of Glens Falls, Queensbury, and the foothills of the Adirondacks. Add in friendly and attentive service and you can't go wrong trying the Sunday brunch at The Tower.

This time it's still just a 3 star review . Everyone and all the staff were very friendly and attentive ..... the free breakfast is adequate but still no gluten free items , they do have Almond milk ! I'm not sure how they are getting 4 and 5 star reviews as the hotel is just not being kept up . Maybe they are short staffed ? The carpets by the elevators and in the rooms are stained and it makes the whole room feel a bit dingy! I would think this is a quick fix and something they would keep on top of ! Although it's basically clean and neat , things like the linens are old and the towels aren't fresh smelling . Their laundry room for their linens is across the hall from the kitchen, so the towels although clean and fluffy kinda smell like breakfast ! Yes we keep coming back because the plus side is it's a very convenient locate . The rates are good and it's just 15-20 mins from Lake George and Saratoga Springs . Staying a few days here is do- able . I do hope they take note and maybe add some freshener to the towels , get some new linens and clean the carpets .. it would make a huge difference!

There is a machine to scan your QR code to obtain your lift card (for first time skiers), which is super easy to use. There is a ticket booth open if you run into any other problems. The rental shop is in a separate building on the other side of the ticket booth/restaurant. I stayed on the bunny hill for the entire day. I was told that this bunny hill is a lot more steeper than other mountains, but it's the only way to get better right? Overall a great time and I left uninjured. Pricing: One of the cheaper ones in the area. I took a college discount so it was $20 less (regular pricing for the entire day is $89). Rental packages costed $60. If you're a beginner like myself and only plan on sticking to the bunny hill, I recommend you booking the learning area instead ($35 for 4 hours).

Example: I have two children who play sports there. They sent out notification for the older one, using the younger ones name, in turn causing our youngest to miss his game. We pay good money for our club to play and missing even one game is unacceptable. Not only do they charge clubs to play there (reasonable) but they also charge each individual player on top of that..... not ok. If you use the facility in the winter, beware of their drive way and parking. They don't know how to use adequate salt/sand to keep people from sliding or getting stuck trying to leave. Needless to say, there are better places to enjoy your sports....

Also, parking was poorly managed for the beginning of the event. They were not prepared.

I do not know where to begin with Jacqueline and Darryl. As the groom, my Involvement did not much…read moreexceed the food tasting and tux fitting. To be honest, I was pretty useless. However, as the groom, I absolutely did not have to endure a 'bridezilla.' Jacqueline and Darryl were the primary factors for this. Jacqueline was at every dress fitting, and the bridal shower. She helped form the strategic plan, but was on point with the smallest of details. The contacts they had for every imaginable service made planning a breeze. Although they are very busy (for obvious reasons), they promptly replied to every email, text message and phone call. They went above and beyond to serve as referee, counselor, mediator, and fixer. I cannot accurately describe how reassuring it is having a go-to (or two) to put out any fires or better yet, prevent them before they started. For brides-to-be, you will not find a better planner with more solid contacts in the industry. For grooms, cut the check! In retrospect I would have paid triple what they charged for the quality of life and piece of mind leading up to the events, and for the smile on the face of my beautiful bride on the day of.

Every detail was handled with precision and care--from crafting a daily itinerary of winter activities like skiing, ice skating, and dogsledding, to orchestrating a spectacular birthday bash complete with shuttle service for guests, stunning décor, catering for food and beverages, a fantastic DJ, photographer, and even fun photo booths. The list of what she managed is endless! What truly stood out was Jacque's professionalism and calm confidence throughout the entire process. Even when things were uncertain, she never wavered. Jacque made me feel completely supported, as if I had a trusted partner who always had my back. Her ability to anticipate needs, solve problems quickly, and keep everything running smoothly ensured that I could relax and enjoy every moment knowing I was in good hands. If you're looking for someone who combines creativity, organization, and grace under pressure, Jacque at Lifetime Events by Jacqueline is the one. She turned my vision into reality and exceeded every expectation. I am beyond grateful for her hard work and dedication! Thank you Jacque!! Keisha Grant-Heslop

However, we didn't want a courthouse vow exchange, but an actual spiritual ceremony. We had no witnesses, so Joy kindly provided her two friends, and even married us in her own home! A tiny intimate ceremony, just us, Joy, and her two friends. Also it was opening day at the races, and Joy agreed to squeeze the ceremony in in the AM. She was SO accommodating, thoughtful, and warm. My memories of that day are wonderful. The reason I'm reviewing her now...9 years later...is that we've started considering options for vow renewal for our 10yr anniversary. And, one thought was...'I wonder if Joy is still in the marrying business? Wouldn't it be special to travel to Saratoga and renew our vows with her?' Ha! We'll see!
