If I had known there was no elevator I would not have booked there. Building is very old and reminds me of a cheap retirement home. It’s not falling apart but it needs updating. Beds were clean but light bulbs were missing. Holes in wall poorly patched, stairs are a challenge for older people or those with mobility problems.

Stay away if your are smart.

The bed had only 2 pillows and 1 small blanket. The TV was the size of a microwave and we could not get any channels to work. The internet was terrible and could not be used. There were no shampoo, conditioner or bar soap. No person at front desk just a key in an envelope. Wall paper falling off the wall

This was really a bad experience in every way. First there is no working elevator, so be ready for steep stairs. There was no TV, no fridge or microwave, no soap or shampoo. Not even handsoap at the sink. I travel a lot and never been in a hotel without these basics. Obviously no cups, coffee, ice buckets in room. Coffee in kuerig downstairs, however, we were hiking and there were no cups. So no coffee either. We learned the front desk was only available 10 to 10 so unfortunately the no soap issue waited until 10 am the next day. This was probably the worst place I ever stayed. Also, the wall paper was peeling off the walls.

DO NOT STAY HERE! No one working in the hotel before 4. Waited an hour for someone to check us in. Finally someone showed up to work but he disappeared up stairs. Never saw him again. Called the phone number for help checking and the person was completely unhelpful. Said we just had to wait. Not accessible at all. You have to carry your bags up narrow stairs.

It's an old building, with old interiors as well. We already went knowing that, therefore with very low expectations. The experience was surprisingly positive. The location is so worth it. Since we planned most of our days outside, the hotel room was only for sleeping and showers. Everything was reasonably clean, there was no smells from the carpet or anything. Bed was comfortable and temperature was pleasant, with AC. The guy at reception was kind when giving our keys. There's no fridge or Microwave in the room, but there's water, coffee/tea, and a microwave in the main floor. Toileteries are included but simple, I'd recommend taking your own shampoo/conditioner with you. I'd go back in a summer circumstance.

When I arrived, nobody here for the checkin, just a key on the frontdesk with the number of the room. Then I went to my room with a bad smell that lingers throughout the hotel. Finally I try to enter in my room and a woman inside. Go back to the reception but nobody to help me... A young man arrives in shorts and slippers to try to give me another room without even apologizing... No elevator, even though I had 6 huge bags to carry. A horrible experience! I don’t even understand how it can be rated so well. Clearly, a hotel in abandonment.

The room was clean and basic. The wallpaper in the bathroom was pealing off the walls in Room 104 and the was no water pressure in sink. The tub pressure was awesome. The place needs updating, but there was construction going on in the floors above, so maybe soon it'll be better soon.

Underwhelming Service

First place I have ever stayed where there was NOBODY at the front desk to greet you. They have an automated check-in process that requires you to take photos of your ID. I called the property while on my way to ask about early check-in and was told there would be a $35 charge. First time for that, too, but I was in no position to decline, given the very late check-in time of 4:00 and the fact that I was in town for an event that started before then. I was not pleased to arrive and still have to wait for a human to get a key for me, after having paid extra, and then finding that he was letting others check in just a few minutes later (still an hour early) without charging them $35. It’s a nice old hotel that looks like it used to be quite grand many years ago, but now it gives off a creepy Overlook Hotel (The Shining) vibe, especially with no people around. Needless to say, I don’t plan to return. At least I made it out alive.

More reasonable price than most places to stay in Lake Placid (considering all i was looking for is a placeto sleep and shower). Comfortable bed, clean room and bathroom, comfortable (sun heated rooms to point i needed to open the window to cool it down. It's an older building needing some attention, but is acceptable for a place to crash.
