Eastwind Hotel Lake Placid

The location was within walking distance from town and right beside a beautiful river. There was lots of storage space and the bathrooms were big. The room had a refrigerator and kettle, but no coffee pot or microwave. The owner accommodated my need for two rooms beside each other. There was a small bar in the lobby offering wine and beer until 8 p.m. They provided s'mores kits to cook over a central firepit, weather permitting.

There was a problem with the sink draining that got repaired quickly. Some of the nicer amenities like tissues weren't there. The cost was high for what it included. For example, there was no indoor pool or gym, but the price was the same or higher than hotels that provide those options. Coffee wasn't available until 8 a.m. There was no restaurant on site, but the hotel offered a breakfast basket for 2 with coffee, pastries, yogurt, and hard boiled eggs fireplace. My biggest issue was the $50 per night per pet fee. I searched Booking.com for pet-friendly accommodations and chose this hotel based on that feature and date availability. I do not consider that exorbitant fee to be pet-friendly. The owner informed me that the fee information was on the website; however, it was a non-refundable booking. Booking.com posts information, like "only 2 rooms left", but it doesn't indicate which pet-friendly accommodations charge fees or how much the fees are. I've booked over 30 locations in the last 2 years and never paid that much, but in the future, I'll be sure to check the hotel's website before confirming a room.

Super cute, clean, rustic ski vibe! Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great value and super close 15-20 drive to Whiteface

The sauna wasn't working 😭

Sauna is nice but dirty. Property is beautiful.

Cold showers, dirty rooms, poor maintenance.

Location was great. Was very clean.

Parking was a challenge- especially if you return after 9pm In winter - difficult to walk around the property. No comfortable chair to sit in, if spending time in room (during inclement weather).

Accessible

Best bang for your buck. They have a sauna and complementary s’more kits and complementary snow shoes!
