Grandview Lake Placid

10/10 Excellent

"excellent view and beautiful landmark"

Laurel Lake Placid

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and really nice rooms! The staff were very friendly, and I really appreciated that they texted me directly to make sure we had everything we needed. The shower amenities were excellent, and there were lots of towels, which was very much appreciated—my daughter and I are definitely towel hogs! 😊 Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay."

Hotel Saranac Curio Collection By Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Saranac is perfectly located for a weekend in the Adirondacks, in the heart of Saranac Lake for easy walking to restaurants, a short bike ride to the Rail Trail, and a reasonable drive to great hiking and outdoor opportunities. It’s a great historic hotel with lots of character and an amazing bar and lounge area, with great views of town and the mountains. Parking is plentiful and free. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. It is accessible and user friendly for guests that have mobility challenges."

Mountain Lake Inn

8/10 Good

"The place needs a facelift (which is why it's so affordable), BUT it was quiet with a microwave and fridge and daily room service. I'd return."

Eastwind Hotel Lake Placid

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing experience. It’s in a great location, the rooms were clean and overlooking the beautiful property. The staff was friendly and it was a really nice oasis in the hassle and bustle of life. We stayed in a cabin and it was perfect for stargazing."

Grand Adirondack Hotel, Lake Placid, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is well maintained and very clean. Any staff we encountered, including a manager were more than helpful and very professional. The only criticism I could possibly think of is the lack of parking. Why there is valet parking there is no parking on than that. We had to park at the municipal parkingdown the street and had to move Sunday night as the lot closed"

Hampton Inn & Suites Lake Placid

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

The Town House Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom clean. My daughter loved the little heater in the bathroom. She said it felt like a high class hotel. Plus the mirror over the sink was really amazing. It was a contactless entry and deport."
