Not a luxurious hotel but clean enough, friendly staff, and convenient experience. Would stay again.
Right by the lake, very convenient. Was nice to be able to check in late after a long drive.

The outside is kind of run down looking but the room was very clean. The beds and pillows were terrible and the tub didn't properly drain so that was gross. Staff was friendly and helpful.
The hotel is older. But maintained fairly well. Room and bath are updated, clean and comfortable carpet is older but clean
Staff is pleasant. They allow dogs to stay in room for fee. Indoor pool, and a short drive to town, tupper lake or lake placid. Breakfast offered coffee, juice, cereal, waffles, bagel, fruit and yogurt which was fine for us.
A great base for outdoor activities around Saranac Lake. Spacious room at a great price. Nice, friendly staff. Clean, comfortable room. Good parking with easy access to the building. Not fancy, but has everything we were looking for. Our go-to lodging when we’re in the area.

The mattress was very comfortable. The coffee pot for the breakfast area was 1 pod at a time. Not enough for 40+ rooms.
It had a heated pool but at the time we went there were many young people enjoying it. Older building. No elevator to second floor. Ice machine and laundry/washer/dryer available on floor. Vending machines down by the office. Perfect location in town close to all the trails, and scenic walks. Individual heat pump in each room.
