10 Top-Rated Hotels in Lake Placid, New York
Maybe you're not an Olympian, but if you're looking for a top-notch winter sports destination, Lake Placid is the place for you. Try bobsledding, downhill skiing, ice climbing, speed skating or even ski jumping, or just enjoy shopping in the town's boutiques and warming up in one of the many restaurants. But Lake Placid isn't just a winter wonderland. Beautiful Adirondack State Park, which is larger than Yosemite or Yellowstone National Parks, offers year-round outdoor activities.
Things to do in Lake Placid
1. Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1606 reviews
The distinguishing feature of this inn, which has been in business since 1924, is that all 131 rooms have a view of Mirror Lake and the Adirondack Mountains.
Will definitely return.
Reviewed By deannem530A Fantastic stay made even better by the hospitality team at the Mirror Lake Inn. We met a gentleman by happenstance named Jamey while exiting the elevator and struck up a great conversation. After helping us with a great red wine choice, I continued to run into him over the course of the afternoon and evening. He was the epitome of friendliness and hospitality every time and a big part of the reason we will return. The spa was wonderful. The food amazing. I mean, how do you make pancakes crunchy like that? Magic. Also I slept like a baby. The beds were perfect for me. I think it’s safe to say that the visit was 5 stars.

Very convenient
Reviewed By bobeer2We spent 4 nights here during a road trip in New York State. This is a very nice and convenient location for the town of Lake Placid and multiple sites in the area: other towns, hiking, history and some beautiful, breathtaking rides in the Adirondaks. The staff was professional, helpful, cheerful, accommodating. The room was spacious with a very nice bathroom. The only drawback was that the hot tub jets were not working.

Nice place!
Reviewed By lajhI would Definitely stay here again. Fire pit, plenty of Adirondack chairs.that were ight on the lake and next to the door. Canoe, kayaks, etc always available. We were here Memorial day weekend, so the pool was not open. The bed was comfortable, pillows were great, towels great. Room was very clean. We ran out of wood for the fire pit and they very quickly went out and got more wood for us. The only downside was the carpet had stains, Should be addressed and cleaned when it looks like that. Quick fix. One thing I was impressed by, was how the manager spoke to the employees. She seemed so nice and understanding. Addressed everything right away with a smile! Good job! Definitely would stay here again!

Unsatisfactory Experience @ Lake Placid Inn: Residences
Reviewed By Todd HI booked a "studio" at the hotel for four nights, so I could enjoy the fall foliage in Lake Placid and the surrounding areas. However, upon arriving at the Boutique Hotel by Lake Placid Inn (this is where guests are required to check in before getting to Lake Placid Inn: Residences), I was told to wait, as there were maintenance issues with my room. The advertised check-in time was 4:00 p.m., but I did not arrive until 5:30 p.m. and thought my room would be ready shortly thereafter. However, the wait wasn't too bad. I got my key and went to LPI: Residences. Upon entering my studio at LPI: Residence, I could tell the floor wasn't clean. So I had to purchase a Swifter and went through 6-7 wet pads. They were almost black; the floor around the indoor door mat was even more dirty. After spending 20-30 minutes of cleaning the floor, I thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief and get settled in the room. But it was not long before that I noticed that the blinds were off; they could not be opened or pulled; the knobs at the end of the strings were missing. The blinds themselves sagged in some areas and could not be readjusted to filter out the outdoor light (or porch light at night). Next, I went to the thermostat to turn on the A/C, the words, "replace battery," kept flashing on the LCD display. My studio also had a nice kitchen (more of a kitchenette with a full-sized stove, fridge, and full sink), but I noticed that the dish soap bottle was almost empty. There was no extra one under the sink. I also had issues with connecting to the Internet; I received an e-mail from the hotel with log-in credentials on the day of check-in and copied the password letter for letter, but it wouldn't work. So I called the front desk at the Boutique Hotel by Lake Placid Inn regarding three issues:1) the thermostat being low on battery; 2) the dishwasher soap; and 3) the Wi-Fi log-in issues. They said they would let their maintenance staff know about the thermostat being low on battery, but they never stopped by to replace the battery. And they also said they were all out of dish soap and as such, I would have to buy some from the nearest grocery store; and finally, they said the password they gave me for connecting to their Wi-Fi was incorrect and could not understand why I received the e-mail from them with the incorrect password. It was almost as if they didn't double-check the e-mail for accuracy before sending it out. Just before I went to bed, I decided I'd watch some TV, but the TV would not work. A dim blue light came on and that was it. I have the same TV model at home and have not had any issues with it, but the TV in my hotel room just wouldn't work. It was also very dusty; it looked as if it had not been dusted in weeks. Even the frame around the A/C was dusty. It was just one thing after another. So, I made a decision not to stay at the hotel for another night and would be checking out the next morning. Just before I checked out the next morning, I decided to take a quick shower. I noticed some mildew buildup on the floor, in the corners of the shower stall. I used some towel to remove it and it came off easily; it was not as though they were stubborn stains. It became clear to me that the housekeeping staff or management did not give the hotel the attention it needed. Never have I stayed at a hotel that was so poorly maintained, substandard, or neglected; it looks great in the photos and I was excited about staying there -- only to return home after one night at the hotel. Please take my word and do not stay at this hotel. It is not worth the trouble -- especially if you want to visit Lake Placid for a couple of nights.
