The inn is kind of ramshackle. We stayed in "Wilderness." The private bathroom had been updated (though the workmanship was rough), but the rest of the room was just old and worn. We realized that we should have brought food to cook for breakfast after seeing the paper bag breakfast provided (need a hearty breakfast before a big hike.) There was coffee in the lobby in the morning but with a sign not to fill large cups, so maybe go to Stewart's if you like more than a 12 oz cup. I will find a better option for my next trip to the Adirondacks.

Room was very comfortable but paint was peeling and was a bit worn. Walls very thin so could hear talking from other rooms.Unfortunately we tried to go to restaurant but it was very crowded at 530pm so we went somewhere else, it looks nice! Check in was easy and everyone so nice .I would stay again but probably try for the lodge or end room , it would help to have a Keurig or coffee maker in room.PERFECT location for high peaks hiking !!! Cute fireplace outside and swing !!! People so NICE !!!

Love it. Definitely going back.

My girlfriend and I LOVED this place. It's not the Marriot or some chain, so it's a bit unique and has quirks, and that's why it's awesome. The room was small but comfortable, the bed very comfy. There was no TV in the room, which I really liked. Great shower. Outside there was a little deck with chairs so we could relax, listen to the Ausable River and look at the lovely grounds. There was also a restaurant area (closed while we were there) that we could sit in for meals or just to hang out. Cool decorations everywhere (and a TV, if you really needed one). And a small game room with foosball, pingpong and a pool table. Fire pit with chairs. Oh, and they provided a nice bagged breakfast with an egg, granola bar, orange, juice box -- basically a good hiking snack. And the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great Property at a Reasonable Price

We had a great time at the ADK Trail Inn. It was probably one of the most unusual stays we've ever had at a hotel. It is the off season and we were the only guests, which made it very quiet -- our favorite thing in the world. Amy, the owner informed us in advance that this would be the case, and we did not find it problematic. The ADK Inn is older, but very clean and homey. It is in beautiful Upper Jay, which has a very remote feel, but is still really close to Keene, Keene Valley, and all the trails. The brown bag breakfast was sufficient to sustain us on our hikes, and the coffee was delicious and ready for us really early in the morning. We had a power outage on one of the days, when I needed the Internet for a podcast. Amy immediately addressed this issue for us on very short notice and made a private room available at the owner's other property. We also met Wayne, who was equally kind and welcoming. This was an excellent experience at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend it!
