Spruce Lodge Bed & Breakfast & Guest Cottage

Just a lovely stay with pleasant host, enjoyed my stay in Lake PLacid!

Property was clean, economical, and proprietor was friendly and enjoyable to talk with.

Pros Very nice staff Charming with character Internet Cons Noise from the road Blue bedsheets Toilet on a partially elevated floor step with no leg support

Pleasant, older home with smaller room and bath adjacent to room. Room was clean and WiFi worked well. In town for Empire Games so did not spend much time in our room. Breakfast was continental plus homemade bread. Very adequate for the price paid.

Property and home was great. It is located on a busy main street, so there was a lot of traffic noise in the front room that we stayed in. Room itself was great and clean

It’s was nice wooden house as nice hotel. It’s definitely good experience. Breakfast was just bread and butter....haha

We stayed in The Apartment which has its own separate entrance at the back of the Main House. Our carpark allocation was just a few strides to our apartment entrance. There are a few steps to the entry. Tbe Apartment was as advertised and filled our expectations. It is not modern, but old as part of the original home, but that was character to us, and was very clean and everything working just fine. The Apartment gave us the space and privacy we wanted. Great water pressure and enjoyed good hot showers. Breakfast was plenty satisfactory with homemade bagels, bread, butter, cream cheese, jams, fresh fruit, juice, hot drinks etc. You could sit around a communal breakfast table with other guests, but we chose the comfort and solitude of eating in the communal lounge. In warmer weather the option would be to eat outside on the porch. The owner Carol was friendly and chatted with us about her life there in Lake Placid and its history. Also gave us couple of good recommendations of what to visit in the area. The House is old so expect some creaks from other guests' movements and bring earplugs as we did if that bothers you. The location was excellent - about 15 min walk to main centre, and just 5 minutes walk opposite direction was a good corner store where we bought ready-made meals. I would recommend The Apartment for clean good value accommodation in Lake Placid.

The room has hot water heating and it was quite warm which made it difficult for sleeping. we had no control over the heat. The breakfast was cold cereal and toast, and the coffee was watery with no flavour at all. On the whole the experience was disappointing and we will not be back.

We have never had a bad experience staying here Carol is a wonderful host .

It is close to the shopping/eating areas and also to many scenic areas
