Lodge shows signs of 70 years of wear, BUT the service and Christmas theme shows more than offsets this. Treated with respect and courtesy for entire three days of stay. Entire time keep busy with provided children's entertainment. If you like Christmas and you want to bring Santa into your Holidays come here.

We didn't stay at the Hotel, we just stopped for Breakfast. The Hotel does look run-down on the outside. But the Diningroom was open for breakfast - and I must say it was one of the Best breakfast places in the entire Lake Placid area! They have real home made bread! And everything was reasonably priced!

On a fall foliage trip we found this Motel. Being Columbus Day weekend....without reservations there was not much of a choice. We should have drove further that night. The first thing we noticed was the musty smell of our room. When contacted the owner said they are working on the problem. Well they must be working on the washers also....our linens were disgusting. My children were hilkng in the rear of the motel and found plenty of tires and assorted junk. AVOID THIS PLACE !!!!!

We were in the area for the Ironman triathlon. We were expecting to get a nice lodge where we could enjoy our time off and relax. First of all, the carpet imn the room was disgusting. The matresses were older than my grand father and I was not even able to open the door to access the balcony. Antway, the green carpet on the balcony was so dirty and full of insects that I didn't want to go outside. We had breakfast the day after the race. The restaurant is nice but it took us 90 minutes to get our 2 eggs. The 2 young ladies working were obviously new and between smoking outside and answering to the clients at the lobby, they had to work in the restaurant. What the heck, I finished my third ironman. Seriously, don't go there and now I understand why they still had vacancy prior to the race.
