Cold in room. Slept in hoodie. No hot water in sink. Needs major updating. Redneck Bistro was great. Mattress was comfy. Need heavier blankets in winter. If I stayed again I would bring a sleeping bag.

Misleading
Well my family and I did not stay. The pictures were misleading and our room was not up to a normal standard. I wish I would have looked at the reviews before booking and am hoping to get some type of refund. I cannot imagine sleeping there and found a lovely place in Saranc Lake. The room was small, dirty, no amenities and a waste pipe sticking out of the ceiling.

This is a value priced option in Lake Placid. The building is lovely, but it is falling into disrepair. I hope the management will be able to address this before it goes too far.

Great old building. My room was super clean. I would have liked another blanket, as it was a pretty chilly night. But I turned up the thermstat and it was fine.

Old building but modern.
It was an enjoyable stay. Easy to walk to town and back. Staff was friendly and helpful. We were able to check in a little early and that was very helpful. I would stay there again
