After reading reviews (of course, after I had made my reservation) I almost changed my reservation but I'm so glad I didn't. The hotel is going through renovations but still it was very clean and nice. You can tell this hotel has been there a long time and the location couldn't be beat! Right on Main Street in Lake Placid,... More

Before my husband and I went to Lake Placid I read all the reviews for this hotel (I almost changed my reservation) But I have to say this time the reviews were wrong! Since it was kind of the "off season" the rates were very low so I couldn't resist, the hotel was more then I expected! It was a... More

But it's not funny. The rooms, halls and elevator reminded us of a men's college dorm that had been thoroughly trashed. Dirty, ripped up carpeting, (very) used furniture, paper thin walls through which one can hear everything. I've never paid money to spend the night in a place like this. After driving 5 hours to Lake Placid for a funeral,... More

My wife and I love Lake Placid, and we really needed a getaway, so Lake Placid was an easy choice for us. We always stay at the Northwoods Inn. I love this classic hotel for so many reasons, one of which is the location! There is no better location in Lake Placid. Period. It's right on Main Street, right in... More

The Northwoods Inn has going for it THE best location in all of Lake Placid, right on Main Street in the middle of the strip. It has it's own free parking, some beautiful views of Mirror Lake and Whiteface Mountain. What this place doesn't have going for it is a clean, comfortable atmosphere. First, the public areas, aside from the... More

We recently returned from a weekend stay at this hotel in the quaint village of Lake Placid. I have to say it is the worst hotel my family and I have ever stayed in. The hotel has a great location, right in the middle of town on Main Street, so it is very convenient. The rooms are large. But that's... More

We were there for a 4 day weekend and were disappointed!!! The location is perfect for seeing the town and enjoying the local restaurants and the sheets, towels and bathroom was clean. That is where it ends. The hallways are dark and dingy, the room needed at least a coat of paint to the walls. There was no closet door,... More

I have stayed here 3 times and the location cannot be beat. It is definitely not the most upscale hotel in Lake Placid, but for value and location it cannot be beat. It is a historic hotel in the center of the village and has the old charm of Lake Placid and not the feeling of a big chain hotel.... More

Individual room heaters kept us cozy in the near 0 degrees F weather. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and generally good. Elevators were very old and cramped but functional. Room was pretty large- little kitchenette and separate bedroom. Small bathroom. All dated but okay. Location for visiting Lake Placid was excellent- right in the heart of Main Street- numerous restaurants, movie... More
