Hotel room was very clean. They left an envelope with our key in it , so that was great. No contact with staff but we have been here before so we know where things are. We like staying here at the pines.

Hotel/Rooms are outdated but charming. Room was clean and was perfect for a one night stay that wasn’t too expensive. Beds were nice. No fridge or microwave in room. Would stay again - great location.

We booked this last minute because it was close to the wedding we were going to. The staff was very nice and attentive but our room reeked of smoke and there were stains all over the carpet. We’re also pretty sure we saw a ghost. I wouldn’t stay here again.

After reading the reviews after I booked non refundable I was prepared to spend a horrific night. But no. The room was made, the sheets and towels were clean. The check-in and out was done through an envelope with my room key with my name at the check in counter. I didn’t have to wait. Yes the decor is from last century but I didn’t even see a ghost. And the restaurant downstairs smelled really good.

If you're looking for a cheap spot to stay near the village and aren't planning to spend too much time in the hotel room I would stay here. The room was clean but very outdated, the wallpaper in the bathroom was falling off and some of the bathroom tiles were broken. There is a TV but it looks more like a computer screen. The pillows were paper thin so maybe pack your own pillow. Free coffee, tea and water in the lobby - we didn't eat at the restaurant. There was someone at the front desk when we checked in but that is the only time I saw someone, which was okay because when we booked it said no front desk staff. Overall, cheapest spot very close to the main street but very old.

More reasonable price than most places to stay in Lake Placid (considering all i was looking for is a placeto sleep and shower). Comfortable bed, clean room and bathroom, comfortable (sun heated rooms to point i needed to open the window to cool it down. It's an older building needing some attention, but is acceptable for a place to crash.

We were grateful for the friendliness and accommodation of the staff to our requests. This hotel is in a great location and the lodging is comfortable and clean. It is a work in progress as they are renovating it over time, and it has excellent bones. The food at the restaurant next to the lobby was very good! If you're traveling to the area and plan to spend most of your time outside, don't want to spend a fortune, and don't need a five-star hotel rating - I can happily recommend this location!
