Great location. A little worn in some places, but clean . A typical lakeside or mountain motel . The bed felt new. It was firm memory foam. What I noticed especially what was the room was not moldy and that's a big thing for me. I would stay there again

The room was fine, nothing special but acceptable. EXCEPT - There was no heat, and by morning the temp outside was in the 20s, so we were shivering in our room; and the mattress was old and uncomfortable. Also, our room was right on the busy street - not a problem itself except that there were blinds but no curtains on the windows, so we felt too exposed.

Great place to stay, serve its purpose very well. Bed was super comfortable, having netflix accessible on the TV was a plus. Coffee machine worked well. 5min walk from the Fuzion market where you can grab some breakfast sandwich to-go. Can't believe I am going to say this, but there might be too much pressure in the shower head lol Will def book again.

The room is small but has everything that we needed? The bed was confortable and the shared kitchen was a nice bonus. The location is great, only a few minute of walk to the city center of Saranac Lake.

Rustic 50s style motel. Clean, quiet, a short walk from a nice downtown , right across the street from the lake.

This is a very old property. Rustic is a good word. This is a long way from 5 stars, but it did the job. It was way overpriced. It looks quaint and charming online, but reality hits you the moment you open the door. You could probably find something much better for the price we paid. The best asset was the mattress. We slept like babies on it, which was a huge win by itself.

Great place to stay for decent price in Saranac Lake. Walking distance to downtown, partial lake view, nice restaurant around. Perfect location to go hiking in the area:) There is also a mini-fridge and coffee maker, which was appreciated.
