The inn is in a convenient location. The staff is helpful and friendly. Breakfast offerings were plentiful, including fresh waffles, but no eggs. Specious room comfortable beds. One negative is the lack of an elevator. This was our second stay at this hotel and we'd stay there again.

The property is nice, beautiful setting. Staff are excellent. The only downside is the “breakfast”. They had some bagels, breads, cereal and a waffle maker. A far cry from the excellent restaurant that used to be there.

We stayed here during the Lake Placid Ironman. The hotel was fine and the staff were friendly. However, like all other hotels in the area, the price was probably more than double what it should be for a hotel like this. All the hotels around here seem to jack their rates way up during Ironman.

We like some of the older Adirondack properties. They may need some updating but everything is clean, and they have some character. The rooms are quite large, which is not always the case in newer hotels. The breakfast was pretty minimsl.
