We arrived in less rhan ideal conditions, it was dark and snowing on new year’s eve. The reception was closed, with a number left to call. We called to find out which room we were staying in. The person answering the phone was helpful and we self checked into our room, after struggling just a bit to find it. The room was a nice size and had a pleasant view of the frozen lake and a nearby marina. The room was clean and neat, sparsely furnished, mostly of a 70s vintage…but perfectly sevivable. The hotel is close to several restaurants and about a mile from down town saranac lake with its many shops and restaurants. a convenient place to stay at a good price.

This hotel is going through a management change and new staffs. We didnt have a microwave oven in the room and the toilet flush was not functioning properly and the shower didnt have a head so the water was just gushing out. Room was nice and has great lake views just outside. Receptionist was new but did a good job helping us through the stay. Overall a nice hotel close to the lake and hopefully the new management will be able to fix the amenties.

No fan in the bathroom, minimal amenities, MOUSE POOP IN MY BED AND I HAVE PHOTOS. Thermostat does nothing, was uncomfortably hot the entire time. Personally I'd love a refund. No warning of contactless check-in. Hard to track down office and check in procedure in a snow storm.

We booked this accommodation specifically because the listing stated that reliable internet service was available. In reality, the internet was completely non-functional for the entire week of our stay. This was not a minor inconvenience — it materially affected our ability to use the accommodation as intended. We contacted Expedia during the stay, reported the issue, and were explicitly told by a representative that the matter would be escalated and that we would receive full compensation due to the misrepresentation. Despite this assurance, no follow-up ever occurred and no resolution was provided. This is unacceptable. The property information was inaccurate, and Expedia failed to honor a clear commitment made by its own support team. At this point, we are not asking for goodwill — we are expecting the compensation that was promised. Accurate listings, documented follow-through, and accountability from customer support are the minimum standard. This experience fell well below that standard.
