It was our first time in Lake Placid and after an expensive holiday (engagement!) weekend, we went with the lower end of the price scale and weren't disappointed. Very friendly service and clean rooms, no complaints. Everything is within walking distance and if we didn't feel like going out, we were able to enjoy the hot tub and a game of pool. Highly recommended for a fun weekend in Lake Placid!

I have seen a few reviews stating that this Inn is great for the traveler on a budget. That is not necessarily true. If I wanted to, I could stay the week in the Presidential Suite at the Mirror Lake INN..... but I choose the Pines. Jill, Frank, and my man little Duncan make the place special. These wonderful people are not only helpful, but truly care that your visit is pleasant. I am so looking forward to spending my birthday week at the PINES.

We recently spent a night (out of season) at this hotel. We booked late, so did not have many choices. Our room had a mattress that was totally the cheapest , oldest and worst mattress I have ever seen. It buckled in the middle and the sides were crushed. At 12:30 (the end of my rest for the night) our upstairs boarders came home. The amount of noise was shocking. We listened to every word of their conversation. The hotel advertised a workout room and jacuzzi. Neither was opened until after 9AM. The fireplace was closed off for the night at 7:30 PM when we returned from dinner. There was no food available on site although there was a dining room bar etc...all closed for the season. Sadly the prices should have reflected some if not all of these disappointments but did not. Had we booked earlier, could have actually enjoyed the hotel part of our trip with very little increase in price. Oh, did I mention, no heat in room. Space heaters. Just to add.....sheets smelled of bleach (good thing) and hotel attentant was nice. Makes me want to buy a hotel just to give services equal to home.

Good location. Rooms are very clean and beds are comfortable.Easy to walk to centre of town. Service is very friendly. Nice common area with fireplace downstairs or large terrace outside to chat with friends. They serve coffee there in the morning. The corridors need a bit of updating.Plenty of parking. Didn't go to the pub or the gym/whirlpool.It's a fair price for what you get ( 129$ on Booking.com for a queen room )
