My boyfriend and I visited the hungry trout when we came to Lake Placid so I could run a Spartan Trail race. The end was very nice and we loved that it was near the water and had a restaurant we could also go to. When we checked in on Friday, we visited the restaurant and had a few drinks and liked it a lot the following night we wanted to go and have dinner upstairs. My boyfriend and I arrived at 7:41 PM on Saturday. The hours clearly state the restaurant is open 4 to 9 PM So we became very discouraged when we were told they were closed as soon as we walked into the door. Hostess told us we could check downstairs in the tavern so we went down there where the bartender was sitting at the bar and said as soon as we walked in, we are closed when we questioned the hours we were told we are closed now. We’re looking to get a meal and a few drinks and would have spent over $100 so we were very upset. We were turned away, especially when the hours stated that they were still open other than that. Everything was wonderful. My suggestion might 19 minutes before the stated, closing of the establishment.

Felt like the price was way more than what the room was worth, the pictures on the website made it seem like you would have an okay view but it was completely blocked by trees. Said the tavern was open so we waited until 7 to head over only to be told they weren’t open. Websites need to be updated. Area was beautiful. Stay was mediocre

We’ve stayed here twice now and the rooms need a serious update. There is no housekeeping unless asked for but someone did come in to replenish the coffee. The restaurant is very nice but a little pricey as is everything in the area. I really wanted to eat in the downstairs pub but I use a cane and there is no elevator or ramp. I wish there could be no smoking within many feet of the hotel because people were smoking outside and that skunky smell was coming right into our room.

Great motel and clean. Fan in bathroom a bit noisy. Not a lot of dining options nearby especially for breakfast so pack some breakfast foods. Some restaurants not open Mondays and Tuesdays. Really nice scenery in the area and close to High Falls Gorge and around 15 minutes from Lake Placid.

It was located in a beautiful setting with a waterfall but the rooms needed upgrading ...scuffed furniture, cracked bathroom floor, etc. We dont think the room had been cleaned prior to our arrival. The pool was closed for repairs which was very disappointing. Would not recommend

Where should I start... the entire place looks old,like it's falling apart, however this is not an excuse for the the incredible lack of cleanliness, mess both outside and in the room, sticky chairs and table, broken window blinds, very dirty windows and full of crushed insects, a lot of mold in the bathroom, thick dust everywhere on the lamps or sconces. There were plenty of spider webs between the beds and the bedside table... I don't even want to think if the sheets have been changed or not. I stayed for a few days and although the pool was functional, it was always closed. About the the wifi and the parking, you have to figure it out by yourself... self check in and self check out. I can't understand why there are so many good reviews when the whole place is a disaster, very expensive for what it offers. The restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday, so I have no idea how it is, however from the outside it kept the same looks as the motel. To add something good about it, the location was good and the views in the area magnificent. I will definitely avoid that place in the future and I don't recommend it.

The best thing about this resort is location location location perfectly nestled under the huge white face mountain, close to the gorge falls and gondola rides the motel itself needs update i.e old decor,dirty carpet but updated bathroom and contact free check in.

Great old fashioned motel for the price. The only issue we had was the pool was not going to be open until the day after we left and it was extremely hot.
