Guest Reviews

• Larry (10/5): -
• Joel (7/5): Nice location in town and on the water, but make the rooms are setup the way you want. - Location was great, close to town, but not right in the busy part of town. Easy to walk around the main shop areas. The setup of the 2 rooms were not what I was expecting. You had to walk though one room to get to the other room. So no privacy if you are staying in the first room. If you have kids this may work, but if sharing with other adults, it doesn't work at all. Ask about the room situation before booking.
• Gil (10/5): -
• Jim (7/5): It was a nice stay after problems checking in. - Bed was comfortable. I didn't like the digital check in and there wasn't enough parking for all the rooms.
• Mary (10/5): Very clean and comfortable. - Location Receptacle for recycling-important to us😊
• Oakes (6/5): Clean and good location but definitely not worth the money they charge!!!! - The location was good. The room was very clean. The parking was not that accessible. Kind of a first come first serve! The room was uncomfortably warm and we had to actually shut the heat off and open the door and window to cool it down to a comfortable sleep temperature. We slept with the heat off and it was 2 degrees outside and the room only got down to 64 all night! Also the room was very small!There were no workers to be found and the lobby had only a microwave and ice machine! It was ok for one night and I’m glad I had credits from booking.com because it definitely was not worth the money!
• Maryse (9/5): Beau séjour tranquille et près du centre-ville - L emplacement, la tranquillité, Peu de place pour prendre un repas, chaises et fauteuil peu confortables
• Matthew (10/5): -
• Brigitte (8/5): - It was clean, comfortable and a cute room. I spoke to a gentleman before I arrived, on the phone when I had a question and he was very helpful and nice. A bummer there was no staff in the office when I had a question about the volume of my TV in room 15 would not go up. I don’t like it when there is no staff. For over $100 a night there should be somebody in the office.
• Anne (10/5): - We have stayed here before, usually in a larger room. Our room this time was smaller but perfectly clean and comfortable. We like the simple Scandinavian aesthetic.
• Pamela (9/5): Convenient and comfortable - NA Parking lot could have been cleared better of the snow.
• Lauren (10/5): -
• Chris (4/5): Overpriced for what you get - Location Lack of parking, bathroom was falling apart, only one key provided
• Jody (10/5): -
• Janet (10/5): Great location and clean - Location, cleanliness Everything was fine!
• Joseph (6/5): Efficient and quaint place to rest when exploring Lake Placid! - Centrally located and they accepted pets. The bath towels were lovely, new and thick. The mattress was comfortable ( although for a pet friendly room there was no mattress protector). The room stayed warm, even on 2 -14f nights. For some reason, I had an old school physical key and when I locked myself out, the staff was very helpful to get me back in. Loved how they had a brand new weather rug at the inside door and a plastic tray for shoes in the inclement weather. Being a regular in Lake Placid, I would stay here again! Not sure if all rooms are the same as I had a Dog Friendly room (#15) , but I found everything to be worn. Whether it be high traffic use or wear and tear or needs fresh paint. My room wasn’t particularly “fresh faced” but was comfortable enough and really appreciated I could have my pups with me! The interior walls need a little washing down throughout as there is just schmutz here and there. Also, they do make a bit of a deal about accepting pets ( pay a fee, remind them you need a pet friendly room prior to arrival even though you’ve already paid the fee and made the request w the booking. ) There was nothing in the room to acknowledge your pet as some places have a tray to place food bowls, a welcome water bowl with the hotels name on it, sometimes doggie bags etc and with quite a bit of snow on the ground, no identifiable location to take them that was cleared. It was definitely fine for what I paid ( the rate was much cheaper than the weeks before and after it). If I had paid more, this would have been a very different review. There was nothing about my stay that would hinder me from booking again, but I definitely would not book again if the rate was north of $200.00 a night.
• Nadine (8/5): -
• Miodrag (8/5): Cool and cozy cabin-feel near downtown Lake Placid - Clean room, plentiful towels, easy contactless check-in. The room had a nice feel to it. Cabin-y and cozy. Bathroom had a deep tub, not that I used it. Overall property had a 'cool' look to it. Didn't watch much TV but it was nearly impossible to navigate the awful Samsung TV interface. More importantly the parking lot is tiny. We arrived late the first night and second night and parked near the entrance, making it a little worrying that a passing car might clip our bumper.
• Tiffany (10/5): -
• Melissa (1/5): - There was no breakfast provided The checking process. The quarter inch water you stand in when you are showering
• Katherine (10/5): Stunning, pristine and well located! - We loved this spot! It was gorgeous, clean, tidy, good facilities. I truly cannot rave enough!
• Jessica (10/5): -
• Marc (10/5): My kids wants to stay more hope we can get a free stay they love the place - Cleanliness None
• Andrea Johnson Kroker (8/5): -
• Daryl (8/5): -
• William (10/5): Great time definitely will stay there again - It was in great spot In lake placid. Nothing
• Kody (10/5): We will definitely be back - I liked that it was right on the bay, as well as nice directly on the Main Street but close enough to still do everything we wanted Everything was great
• DeGraw (10/5): As soon as i walked into the door, i instantly felt like home and very comfortable. It was in a very safe and pretty are - Extremely cozy, netflix on hand ( amazing after a late night), ac and Very tight parking lot, very icy ( as anywhere in LP is )
• Glenn (7/5): - Good location, comfortable stay, contactless.
• Alba (6/5): - Nice location. The room is big The heating was super loud and we couldn't have it on while sleeping and if turned off it was too cold. The installations were a bit old.
• Fritz (9/5): Great location with stunning views, and clean rooms! - Great location, with clean rooms! Didn’t appear to have staff on site, so if anything was needed, you’d have to call. Not a big deal, just something to note.
• Michelle (10/5): -
• Cemile (8/5): -
• Julian (10/5): -
• Louis (10/5): -
• Patricia (5/5): It wss - We were there for my Grandson’s ice tournament, so location was close enough. We were upstairs, and it snowed, therefore, dangerous as never shoveled.
• Lisbeth (10/5): -
• Dario (10/5): -
• Kulka (10/5): -
• William (8/5): -
• Dariya (10/5): -
• John L. (10/5): Very comfortable stay. -
• Ronald (10/5): Fall getaway -
• Lisa (5/5): -
• Cooper (9/5): - Great view, nice room and the dock area was great
• Alice (10/5): Stunning lake view - I loved the experience from the moment I arrived — the way they had the room ready with soft music playing and the lights on made it feel so warm and welcoming. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and the lake view is absolutely beautiful. I just wish I’d had more time to enjoy it!
• Hava (9/5): Good experience - I liked the bed, the kitchen, the hot and strong stream of water in the shower. I liked the view to the little lake. the ducks. The worm lobby where we could sit and work. Personally I don't like self check in. I prefare a human wellcome. In addition we didn't mannage to put on the heat in the room.
• Evgueni (10/5): -
• james (6/5): 6 out of 10 - location, bad lighting, loud music playing through the night
• Tracy (7/5): The place looks basic from the outside. Once in to the room, it’s clean and has what you need. - Clean and located just down the road from the high street Stayed in 2 different rooms One double and the following night the king suite- this is fantastic and definitely worth the money. Struggled to get the code to work to access the double room. No - one on site too over an hour to get in with someone coming down to let us in after 3 codes sent
• Tracy (8/5): Although disappointed when drove up, was a comfortable stay - Clean Location Comfy beds Clarke was very helpful Stairs Code to get into the room that didn’t work
• Jean-Paul (10/5): - Great family place. Stayed with another family (separate units). Kids loved fishing, boating, campfire, etc. #recommend
• Wyn (8/5): Nice spot right on the lake with kayaks to use too - The lake access and boats and kayaks No sauna
• Troy (10/5): -
• Dan (8/5): - We
• Simone (9/5): -
• Raluca (9/5): Awesome - The views
• Heinen (6/5): We have enjoyed most of our stays here, but this recent stay did not meet our expectations like the hotel has before. - We liked how close it was to Lake Placid’s Main Street and the backyard portion. We have stayed here a few times now. We are hikers. We were pretty disappointed this time around. The toilet makes noise all night, the outlet under the long table was coming off the wall, and it seems like the door doesn’t lock from the inside.
• Stephen (10/5): -
• Lyke (8/5): - We enjoyed our stay overall The keyless entry was really sensitive so it's difficult getting in and out of our room
• Victoria (8/5): Nice place, beautiful spot on water and very clean - Beautiful place and close to town. It’s hard to get through to contact the hotel itself. I wanted to check in a little early and left a voice mail with the hotel and they never called back.
• Sandra (10/5): It was a peaceful, relaxing stay. Thback - It was conveniently located to everything. The parking lot was very small making parking a challenge.
• Mario (10/5): - Everything was great
• Biswa (5/5): -
• Olivier (10/5): - Always a pleasure to return
• Eliška (10/5): Great stay by the lake - The location was perfect, right next to the lake. Everything in our room was very pretty and clean. Beds are really comfortable and the leisure room is equipped with everything you need during the stay. Nothing, everything was great.
• Ross (8/5): -
• David (10/5): -
• Samir (10/5): - Recommended place , we love it
• Swapon (10/5): - Great location with a great view. Only thing i didn’t like is the noise from the AC at night.
• David (8/5): Close enough to downtown, clean, price good in comparison but still not inexpensive - Older structure motel but very updated and modernized and rooms were nice. Not at all like a roadside motel. Parking is a bit tight. No human staff on-site. All done remotely through online questionnaire and electronic room access code.
• Daniel (10/5): - Great place, would definitely stay again!
• Catherine (6/5): - Nous avons apprécié la propreté Les oreillers beaucoup trop épais !!! Vraiment pas ergonomique !!!
• Gil (8/5): - L'emplacement et la mise à disposition des canoë-kayaks. La cuisine équipée et la gentillesse et la disponibilité des personnes travaillant pour l'établissement Il a fallu que j'appelle l'établissement pour avoir le numéro de la chambre et le code d'accès. L'hébergement était loué pour 3, mais il n'y avait que 2 chaises et une toute petite table, ce qui ne nous permettait pas de déjeuner ensemble
• Dan (10/5): Perfect getaway - Location was great
• Lynn (7/5): - The room and location. Also, the free use of canoes and kayaks. The fact that they didn't have a person at the desk to check you in and help out. This is the first time we experienced a "contactless" check in at a hotel. I had to call them a couple times, but the voicemail was full. I felt bad for the one person I saw cleaning and restocking supplies.
• Joshua (8/5): - The pool being closed.
• William (10/5): Quick and easy - Loved the contactless method Very convenient
• Dr. Anita (10/5): Trotz Selfonline Check in absolut empfehlenswert - Die Lage Ist bezogen auf das Arbeitsleistungsverhältnis schwer zu toppen! Der self online Check in 🤮🤮🤮
• Rhonda (8/5): - Place is very nice. Cabin was beautifu, cleanl. Can use kayak and boats when ever u want. There is no staff to talk to in the office, it is self check in. Pool was closed.
• Charles (6/5): - No signs showing numbers of rooms until you look at room doors Clark was very Courteous and helpful Microwave is in community room and there were problems with the code reader on the door could not get in to heat my food My Kehrig Coffee maker did bot work and it took 2 days to resolve. TV channel options were terrible and long durations of pause between shows on Samsung TV network Pool was very comfortable and area was clean It looked like there were Chairs and Tables between the pool and the lake I had no way of Knowing if we could use them or were they for the guests with the closer rooms I may be back as at least now I'm familiar with this one.
• Michael (4/5): - The window in my room faced the street and intersection about 30 ft away.
• Joanna (10/5): - It has an amazing view of lake placid and it's very quiet
• Chris (9/5): Superb -
• Andy (7/5): Ok - good location and clean / tidy - Location was very nice No interaction with staff whatsoever. Check in process was not made particularly easy as a result
• Heather (4/5): - No food options. The bed was very comfortable but there was no mattress cover, just a fitted sheet on top of the mattress. Not very hygienic. The bathroom needs an entire renovation. The room was not deep cleaned.
• Sirhana (10/5): - We had a great stay! Very close to Main Street & Walgreens just a short walk & McDonald’s across the street was a plus!
• Stephanie (8/5): Almost perfect stay! One minor issue - Loved: The room, the access to the lake, the kayaks and SUP were great to use, close to downtown & stores. Very peaceful and relaxing. Clean. Pool wasn’t open but we were able to use TownHouse Lodge pool during our stay. Would definitely stay here again! I booked a Queen Suite because in the picture it had a stovetop, but upon arrival we realized our room did NOT have a stovetop.. I called and she said there should be a stovetop, that she’d call me back about it but I never heard back from her. After our stay, I called and asked for a partial refund & again, didn’t hear back from them.. would’ve been nice to just cook quick things for my kid during the stay, especially because I paid a little extra for the suite solely for the stovetop.
• Theodore (10/5): Staff was amazing - Everything all in one hotel Everything
• Adam (7/5): Good - Great location Comfortable bed Free canoes and direct access on a lake Easy checkin and checkout Room overall was comfortable Responsive manager. There is no central air for cooling (but they have for heating) . The air conditioner unit is extremely loud in the room, so during the summer, it's either suffering in the heat or bringing earplugs when sleeping. The pool was also not usable when we were there.
• Robin (10/5): Loved the view. Access to conoes . Room was spotless and stocked as always. - Water view , clean room Nothing
• Heather (7/5): 4th of July getaway - Beds were comfy, water very hot and location is close to downtown about a 10 minute walk. Dock out back offers canoes, paddleboards and life vests free of charge. Parking lot too small, not enough spaces for guests. Pool is broken so my kids couldn't swim. If you are choosing to bunk here know the website is lying when they say the pool is up and running because it's false. I booked because of the pool. Noisy too we could hear our neighbors fighting.
• Elaine (10/5): Exceptional - Loved the cabin and the views are Epic Lots of geese poo
• Ashley (8/5): We would definitely come back! - We loved our stay at Placid Bay Hotel. The grounds are beautiful, fun, and peaceful. There are games to play outside with your family, kayaks, canoes, life vests ect. In addition to the grounds, the staff started a campfire with complementary S‘mores making station. We stayed in the Mallard house, it was so comfortable and clean. It had everything we needed except for dish towels and or paper towels haha. The pool was under construction and it was not disclosed prior to booking our visit.
• Elizabeth (10/5): - Comfortable, clean, quiet.
• Nisha (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay at placid bay was exceptional from start to finish. We really liked the contactless check in and check out. We booked the hotel after 2 pm, so we had to call and get the room number and door code. But upon calling we were delighted to receive a complimentary room upgrade with a breathtaking view. The room itself was spacious and clean. We were able to park right in-front of our room too. Walkable to town, and a quick drive to other stores. Every detail made us feel relaxed and well taken care of.
• Susan (8/5): Very enjoyable, no staff on site but extra items if needed were available - Location is excellent comfortable bedding clean Room air conditioner was loud
• Jack (8/5): Too short of a stay! - Location! Small!
• Amy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helene (4/5): it was fine, wouldn’t stay at this location again - room was a decent size with the basics it was not clear when i booked the stay that no one would be working in the lobby or the hotel. i tried to call around 1:30 the day of arrival and no one answered the phone number given. the room was fine, but there were stains on the comforter which was unsettling, and the sign for wifi was from a different weekender so we couldn’t connect to wifi all weekend
