Overall, the stay was wonderful. The room was spacious. the view to the lake and mountains was outstanding. The decorations were fabulous. The food in The View for breakfast and The Cottage for dinner was pretty good, although the buffet breakfast items were cold. Also, I couldn't use the buffet because there are a couple of stairs without a handrail to get from the seating area (I use a cane and need a handrail if I am carrying something.) The big problem was checking in. They have a sign for "registration" that leads to a door that is a floor down from the actual registration desk and on a narrow drive with signs that say, "no parking" and "don't block the drive" both of which people were doing when we arrived. My husband had to go in to discover that we were supposed to take the main drive up to the parking areas. They need to move the sign for registration to the correct location. Nigel in The View and the housekeeper for the third floor in the Terrace were exceptionally friendly. I couldn't take a shower because the safety bar for the tub was located on the left side of the faucet controls, not on the back wall like it usually is. My husband said the tub was slippery.

Very very high price for just a run down and old hotel. The location is the only reason to stay. Place has a slightly strong smell of mold… especially by the indoor pool. The restaurant and staff act as if they are the finest place in France…which cracks me up. They could use some help in changing the crazy policy of reservations and needs help to lighting up the atmosphere. Just not that great.

The main hotel is a beautiful property perched atop (not directly on) a hill overlooking Mirror Lake in the Lake Placid area. The actual site of Lake Placid is about a 5 min car ride away. Historic property with beautiful, if a bit outdated, lodge-y like decorations in a tasteful manner. Lobby fireplace is a big draw, with multiple seating options. Rooms are spacious with views facing the lake, comfy beds and a nice/large bathroom (ours in room 634 did not have a tub). Disappointed that there was not water or a coffee maker in the room, but otherwise v comfortable. Also, if you want reservations at the highly rated on site property, get them way in advance of your stay.

Very nice property; great views of the lake; very nice / friendly staff- except if you ask for a simple/routine late check out (from 11 a.m. to noon due to a scheduled appointment at their own spa that ended at 11 a.m.). The from desk will Not bend, will drag you through the mud, make you check back the next morning to get house keeping approval! I have Never experienced such inflexibility at ANY hotel in my entire life (not to mention at a $600 per night room). They finally got the approval after my insistence at the front desk at 8 a.m., but leaving me feel like I was totally unreasonable. It turned out that there were several rooms on our floor that were vacated early, and they had not even started cleaning them when we checked out at noon!!
