I spent one night here while on a ski trip. Great location, on a main road, just a short walk to downtown, and across the street from the lake. The building is older and a bit dated but the room was very clean. It is an unmanned property. There is no staff, they text you a code to open the door to your room . Modest accommodations at a reasonable price. Would I stay here again? Yes, you really can’t beat the location for the price.

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.

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.

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

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 Ashley provided a clean and comfortable room that served us well for our needs. The working air conditioner was a godsend in this heat, as we were traveling by motorcycle. The staff we met were sweet and accommodating. Location was perfect for our day trips to Tupper and Placid. We would definitely stay there again!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

The grounds were dirty and not mowed or trimmed. Windows did not have black out shades. No ice maker or water cooler. Only one pillow per person. Very private, great internet, great tv. Good AC, great location, easy to find Outside seating area had cigarette butts in ashtray.
