Lodge on the Lake

I have been coming to Darien Lake for over 20 years. The trailers are perfect for a small family. The beds are a little uncomfortable but it’s a trailer so it’s to be expected. We bring a mattress topper with us and that helps. Location is great and a 5 minute walk to the park. My only negative is they have recently stopped offering park passes with your camping. Previously the passes were included with the fee you pay to camp. Now you have to buy them separately.

Room was absolutely disgusting, outdated. Have to share a Microwave that’s in the hallway which isn’t fun when youre trying to warm up a bottle for the little one and a whole family is having hot pockets for dinner. Short walk to the campground if you have family staying there and also short walk to the park. If attending a concert you’re able to walk through the park for entry and exit, Keep in mind you are strictly paying for convenience, Rooms include “free” breakfast buffet, $50 is added per day for this for all the other amenities, staff are incredibly friendly although some staff struggle with their English but are incredibly nice. Super expensive for what this is. We stayed 5 days and spent roughly $4,000 for a family of 3 between the room, the park, and the concert, we went all out and clearly you don’t have to spend that much or you could very easily spend a whole lot more

This wouldn’t be my first choice to stay somewhere while visiting six flags. Decor and rooms are weird and dated, they have the place locked down like Fort Knox for coming and going. Staff were super nice and friendly though, very accommodating. They offer a free breakfast for guests, but you have to walk all the way to the park across from the boomerang to get the breakfast buffet. If you’re looking for a stress free way to go to a concert at the park, this is the way to do it. No stress with traffic and parking, you get to walk through the park to enter the performing arts center, and you also get entry to the park the day of the concert, included in your concert ticket and hotel stay. They have a little cafe inside the lodge that is great for convenience, but absolutely awful food. The pizza was bad and so was the baked chicken bites.

Was pleasantly surprised with our room. Stayed for one night while they were closed; they had a deal on for a concert I was attending. The wall to the concert was about 15 mins to the Darien amphitheater. A bit pricey for what it was but very convenient. Bed was clean and comfy, room was exactly what we needed. Would stay again! Wish the pool was open tho :)

I want to start off by saying that for the price I paid for the room for two nights, we could have stayed somewhere better for half of the price. Now to begin, the stay did not include Darian lake park tickets, which is a joke for how much the room was :) further more staying with the hotel, there was a snake in the hallway that the staff on the first floor knew about and did nothing to resolve it because the snake was still in that same hallway a few hours later when we returned from the park (which was 30 dollars each since paying 371 a night wasn’t enough I guess). Now to get to the “breakfast”. Not only did you have to walk a half a mile to get to the breakfast cafe, but the breakfast buffet was a nightmare in itself. It started fine with a nice variety of foods, but it went downhill when I got orange juice from the fountain soda machine and a chunk of mold the size of a chickpea fell into my cup. When I brought this to the managers attention she did not seem too concerned and she did not shut down the machine for cleaning. My mother then grabbed milk, only for it to be expired and sour tasting, again the manager did not seem to care. Finally, the yogurt that was being served expired on June 15th, and it was June 22nd…. And again, manager did not remove them immediately upon my family telling her. Overall, the concert was amazing, but I would recommend staying anywhere else because the lodge on the lake is not worth it.
