I was optimistic that this historic hotel would be more beyond it's rating. The hotel was awful! There was some hard candy that was stuck to the carpet, the closet smelled of mold, and bedding was ripped. The room was way smaller than pictured. Not only that, they put a baby in a room next to the elevator! I thought... More

I loved the old charm of this hotel. Yes being old it does have it's bumps and bruises, some loose tiles and paint issues. The woodwork, brass accents and marble are beautiful. My room was clean as were my towels and sheets. Nice amenities, blow dryer, iron and board and free wifi that had excellent connection. The staff was very... More

This could be a wonderful Hotel, but the pictues and information in no way depict this hotel. The Hotel was dark ans dreary, the furniture was old, torn and stained. The first room was OK but the television was held together by a wire. The lights were off in the hall the breaker was blown... The second room the TV... More

The owner ( a very sweet man who mans the front desk day and night) is trying hard to keep this landmark afloat. Cosmetically there are... More

Driving from the fairy land of Lake Placid to Lake Saranac is like entering the world of the nightmare before xmas and into the "Shining". Charming indeed. Room was cozy and decently clean aside from the bedsheets, which were ancient and dirty. It is a tad overpriced. The staff is weird and friendly, our hotel clerk was reminiscent of Norman... More

Our stay was epic as usual and the staff were very helpful ensuring our stay was terrific. The bar has reopened and the hotel is central and walkable to the other fine drinking emporiums in town. More

Great value for your money. I always stay here when I visit the area. More
