Very comfortable beds in a quiet room, made for a great night's sleep. Decor is a bit retro, but room was in good shape and very clean. Price was a bit more than I would have expected for the room, but no doubt the location and lack of real competition means accommodation prices in the region are pricier than elsewhere.... More

We stayed at the motel for two days and took two rooms for our family. Making the reservations was easy by the internet and when we arrived all went well and they handled our arrival which was by two cars and six hours apart just fine. The staff was friendly and competent, they had excellent hand outs for the restaurants... More

Can't really go wrong with a Best Western. Friendly staff. Clean room. Front desk was on top of salting a back entrance when we told them it was very icy. Appreciated the refrigerator and had McKenzie Grille right out side the door for a Great breakfast and a reasonable price. More

Staff was friendly for the check-in. Rooms are spacious but uninspired. Refrigerator was turned off; coffee machine is in the bathroom (?). Free wifi, no breakfast. Overall what was expected when chosing a best western, a safe but boring choice. More

Front desk staff was not the most pleasant and the hotel showed its fair share of wear. The room was clean but exceptionally noisy between the plumbing and heating- and the walls didn't seem to have any noise proofing in them. The pillows - while they gave you tons of them- were thin and it was difficult to get comfortable... More

I read the reviews for the hotel and noted that almost all the bad reviews were several years old. The only recent one was from someone who lives in Saranac Lake(?) The person at the desk at check-in was excellent, provided us with local information sheets for activities and dining. The room itself was spacious and very clean. We stayed... More

Under $100 with 'AAA' memership this is superb value for the Adirondacks. The front desk staff are very friendly and knowledgable. While there is not an extensive selection of room styles, the king bed we slept on was very comfortable and firm. They also have updated some rooms with flat screen TVs. The one drawback is there is no restaurant... More

Well kept hotel large room - fridge and coffee maker in the room but no microwave. Newer TV with many channels and a large shallow in-door pool. No food in the hotel but an adjacent restaurant serves breakfast and lunch. There's not really much to do in the area and we found our selves driving to lake placid each day. More

We stayed here for 2 nights in August while we explored various lakes with our kayaks. We were looking for a hotel in a convenient location that would provide us a clean and quiet room from which we could keep an eye on our car/boats, and the Best Western delivered. Everyone at the front desk was friendly, helpful and efficient,... More
