The location of the property was great, located between Whiteface and Lake Placid. Check in was easy and the room was clean. I would consider staying again, however i must be honest. The bathroom needs serious updating. The tub and sink would not drain, having to stand in ankle deep water in the tub, and toothpaste that would not rinse. The blinds need replaced, the window would not open causing black mold on the sill. Overall, the room itself was dated but nice and the a/c worked great.

Disappointed
We have stayed multiple times at this resort. And it has become our go to when we’re in the area. The property has definitely seen it better days. One of the reasons that we book this place is because of the pool, which was broke for both nights of our stay. The rooms were not clean as compared to stays in the past. Black mold in one of the bathrooms. Drop something on the floor that fell under the bed and when I went to pick it up, there was dirty tissues and old candy underneath the bed. While there was plenty of hot water for the sinks the handle on the tub would only allow the water to get Luke warm at best. On the final day of our stay, the toilet broke.

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.
