Staff was kind and helpful throughout. Lobby is warm and welcoming. Unfortunately rest of the hotel was extremely disappointing, especially based on the premium rate we paid for our upgraded room. Carpets were worn, heater was old and loud, TV was small and cheap and positioned oddly far from both the bed and the couch so there was nowhere to actually sit and watch comfortably. Even after paying for upgrade we were given an "adjoining" room with only a thin locked door separating us from our neighbors. It would be an understatement to say this provided a lack of privacy, as we could hear everything, and I mean every word of every conversation, that our neighbors and their young children were having. Bathroom included a speaker system to let you listen to music or the TV from the other room, but intermittently hissed with loud static when in use. Robes in the closet were both comically-XL sized and unwearably coarse. Gym facilities were poor and the room was absolutely freezing (definitely below 45F) and unusable. Pool had such a strong odor that we did not want to swim. Everything in the lobby felt like a first class hotel and everything upstairs felt straight out of a late 90s budget hotel. If you're in town to ski or attend an event that is largely outside of the hotel, it could be an enjoyable stay just as a home base or a place to crash. But for a couple looking to relax at the hotel you might be disappointed.
Front Desk was very courteous and helpful. Can’t wait To go back
Downtown location with views of lake and mountains. Good parking we were able to spend time walking in cute town. Close to everything. Attractive rooms and really comfortable beds. In room Keurig coffee maker. Nice shower. Pool and workout room looked good. Ran out of time for these. Comfortable lobby area with lots of seating spaces and fireplace. Definitely would return. Dancing Bear restaurant very good for breakfast. Try pancakes.
High Peaks Resort gets almost everything perfect. To start, the staff is beyond friendly and I can't say enough good things about them. The resort's location is perfect, situated on main street near all the shops and the restaurants, and also by the lake offering a private space where various water sporting equipments are available for free to its customers. The resort is connected to a nice restaurant if one wants to dine without stepping outside, and a spa for those that want some pampering during their stay. It also offers various activities, including yoga and bird watching. The lobby offers free snacks during certain hours, and chess tables are always out for those who want to challenge a friend to a game. The resort is family friendly, even allowing dogs on certain floors, so one can observe cute critters on the premises. Having said that, while seeing dogs on the premises is nice they do get noisy at times. And my room had a stench in one corner next to the bed that was reminiscent of a dog breath or a dog toy smell. Dogs aren't allowed on all floors, however - I recommend asking for one of the hypoallergenic rooms when checking in to ensure a good night's sleep in a quieter, cleaner room. Unless, of course, you yourself are bringing your best friend - then by all means I'm sure you'll find the dog-friendly floors welcoming.
This hotel was top notch in every way. Excellent amenities, friendly staff, and perfect location. The hubby and I slept well, enjoyed the big shower, all the towels, and appreciated how close our hotel was to the main drag. Win! Win!
Winderful place. Great staff. Lake Placid lost power for close to 18 hours. Staff went outnif their way to make us comfortable and provide meals and things to do. Only complaint was that there was a hot tub but no jets in main hotel. Had to use the Lake House for a a hit tub with jets
Perfect location on west end of Main Street in Lake Placid. Olympic arena is on other end but shops on on West end. Clean Hotel. Walls a little thin could hear other people thought it might be an issue but never heard anyone during the night. Large rooms and Bathroom with TV speaker in the bathroom. Had indoor Pool and Hot Tub, Not a Jacuzzi that would have been nicer. No one in Pool area even though Hotel was full. No all day free coffee available but I asked and they got me a cup for free which was great and Noticed. Did offer free champagne at check in but I did Decline that. I had originally booked a different Hotel and glad I change to this one it was worth the extra.
Very good location, staff, lobby. Rooms are clean and spacious.
We enjoyed our stay because it was close to a lot of restaurants and the Olympic training facility. I found the people in the area very friendly and nice.
We enjoyed a waterfront collection room. The room was very nice, the bathroom was amazing. The couch in the room was very uncomfortable though. We even had a sliding glass door out to the lake and outdoor pool. Seems how it was winter we had to go to another building for a pool but it was worth it because we had the hive whirlpool and pool to ourselves.
It was a very nice hotel in a great location. The rooms were pleasant, the staff was very accommodating.
Nice hotel, good location. Our room comfortable and quite. My only complaint was that the bathroom door was a slider with a large gap, steam.. smells, etc will travel.
We loved it one of the best place's we've stayed in
We booked a balcony room and did not get it. The reason was Orb according to the hotel always over books. So no refund, not the room we wanted and will never use orb or this resort again
The room was very modern and clean. Great location and associated food. Nice hot tub. Some of the rooms do not have great wifi reception but otherwise a surprisingly great experience.
We booked a deluxe upscale “Waterfront collection king find the peace and privacy you seek” eleven months before. Upon arrival, at 4:00 PM (hotels check in time), we were given the keys to a horrible first floor room with a parking lot directly above. The room was noisy, dank and directly faced a busy and very noisy access hotel entrance door directly in front of the rooms sliding glass door (was less than 5 feet away with two converging paths). The access door was used for access to the pool, beach and rest rooms. This was definitely the complete opposite of the beautiful waterfront collection photographs on the hotels website. I would be glad to send photographs as evidence. When I told the front desk that we needed to check into another hotel because the hotel was fully booked, they gave us another room, after a long wait, which was acceptable but not what we wanted and paid for. In addition, unlike other hotel guests who were attending a nearby wedding, we had to ask for a wedding gift arrival package the following day.
The service from the staff is exelent The room was clean end convinced
Accommodations were superb. We stayed in a waterfront room and enjoyed the stay.

Dear Geoff, Thank you for sharing your experience! We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit. Every vacation should start with a glass of champagne, don't you think? I hope we'll have the opportunity to welcome you back! Warm Regards, Matthew General Manager
Dear Mark, Thank you for sharing your experience! We are so pleased to see that you enjoyed your visit and hope you'll be joining us again soon for more fun! It's our goal that even on floors that welcome dogs, that guest rooms be absent the tell-tale signs you mentioned of having had a dog in the room. We will certainly follow up and make sure we attend to your feedback. Thanks for bringing it to our attention! Warm Regards, Matthew General Manager
