"It’s a nice hotel, rooms were small. They were amazing to our dog. The couple things they could change is shower curtain length (water gets everywhere). Parking fills up so it can be hard to find a spot. We were on the lower level & it was loud & we did not sleep very well. But not really the hotel fault. Pillows and blankets were amazing & the temp was comfortable in the room. Very close to all the shops. And we enjoyed the products in the rooms"

"Our stay in the resort's Waterfront collection was great! The Junior suite was literally on the water with beautiful views. It's a large room with gas fireplace, jetted tub, separate shower, dual sinks and a comfortable king bed. Nearby Black Bear restaurant on Main St. was a favorite, with only a two minute walk for great food. We didn't have the chance to use their kayaks or paddleboats, but did take advantage of the hot tub and indoor pool in the Lake House for post-hikes recovery. This was the one area clearly in need of renovation. Overall, the High Peaks Resort's Waterfront collection is now one of our top choices to stay in Lake Placid."
