Location was good, staff was pleasant and helpful. Facility layout is awkward, no breakfast accommodation on site. Would stay there again.

Many repairs seemed to be going on when we checked in. No breakfast. Room was clean, with a nice television.

The property is a bit dated and the room had a musty smell at first. However, the room was clean and comfortable.

Great overnight stay

Pros: Everything, but especially the basket of fruit on the front desk and the nice "McKenzie Grill" next door which opens for breakfast at 6AM.
Cons: Nothing comes to mind.
Location: Everything one can do in the Adirondacks.
We arrived in the early evening and were greeted by the staff at the front desk. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TRAVELOCITY WEBSITE IS CURRENTLY INCORRECT IS STATING THAT THIS HOTEL DOESN'T HAVE A FRONT DESK AND THAT CHECK-IN ARRANGEMENTS MUST BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME. We suspected as much and a quick phone call confirmed that they certainly do have one. We had a wonderful stay and the hotel is placed in a lovely setting on a pond across from Flower Lake and has a restaurant adjoining the parking lot. Our room was a very pleasant one, clean, well-lit, etc. Will certainly go back when in the area overnight.
