We had a wonderful 2 night stay here in Saranac Lake to enjoy the rail trail with our bicycles. The hotel was clean, convenient and comfortable and served a free adequate breakfast with fresh fruit and hot eggs. The staff were pleasant and comfortable. The rail trail goes from Lake Placcid to Clear Lake with beautiful views. Saranac Lake is in the middle.

The pillows were uncomfortable, and the breakfast buffet was pitifully lacking in almost everything (cereal dispensers empty, waffle batter nearly empty, eggs stuck to the pan, no plates available…) Pool was nice. Room was clean and otherwise comfortable.

The hotel was creepy. The guy who checked me in was nice and helpful as was the girl who checked me out. However, the hotel is outdated and looks nothing like the pictures on the website. The anti-theft device on my door was broken. One of the bulbs was out in the bathroom. A piece of the furniture where the refrigerator sat was broken. I was supposed to stay for two nights but left after the first one.

My bare feet stuck to the carpet everywhere that I walked in my room. A number of things are old, broken, and rusty. Like our bathroom vanity light, our room door looked like a pry bar has once opened it and they painted over the damaged door. The staff was very nice and friendly and breakfast was okay. Wish they had a hot tub, the pool was chilly. Adults prefer a hot tub while the kids play in the pool.

The place looks nothing like the pictures. it is not well maintained. There was garbage all over the side walk as we were walking in. There were drywall patches on the walls, unpainted. The chair in our room was covered in stains. The bed sheets were clean. Run down and not well taken care of. Breakfast was skimpy and terrible. Coffee and juice were gross
