My Great Great Grandfather built Camp Cherokee on Upper Saranac Lake in the 1890's and our family has been vacationing in the Adirondacks ever since. Over the years we have never failed to visit the hotel for drinks or meals even if we were not staying there. We always looked forward to those visits and until this trip, we were... more

We made reservations at the Hotel Saranac for the Columbus Day weekend. We have vacationed in Saranac Lake for years and we have eaten meals at the hotel but had never stayed there and decided to on this trip. It was apparent from the moment we stepped into the lobby that something had changed. The restuarant that served breakfast and... more

The years have not been good to this hotel. From the pictures it looks like it was once a very fine hotel but today it's run-down, ill-maintained, dingy and in need of a lot of repairs to even bring it up to acceptable standards.

My wife and I went to Saranac Lake specifically to stay at the hotel,... more

The venerable Saranac Hotel has gone through a make-over that has modernized the facility but kept some of its historic charm. The staff was very friendly and eager to please. We stayed in two different rooms both were large clean well maintained and modern. The restaurant in the hotel features Indian food and it was very good. It was a... more

We made a reservation here with some trepidation due to the reviews we had read here - but we have traveled extensively in the US and Europe, and felt the historic vibe of the Hotel Saranac was worth the risk. When we arrived we were given keys to a room with a queen bed, and it was a standard room.... more
