Top Rainbow Lake Hotel Reviews

Grandview Lake Placid

10/10 Excellent

"Just a beautiful place in and out"

High Peaks Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The hotel was very clean and well maintained, with a great location and convenient free parking. The restaurant was delicious, and we really enjoyed the pools and all the amenities. A special bonus was the complimentary boat and pedal boat rentals — such a fun way to enjoy the lake. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!"

Gauthier's Saranac Lake Inn

8/10 Good

"Clean but very basic. Very small bathroom. Chose this for the lake side location and inexpensive rate. It was sufficient, and clean, and across the street from a restaurant. Didn't need fancy, just a place to sleep."

Lake Placid Inn Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful employees…."

The Town House Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, quiet and accommodating. Will certainly return!"

The Whiteface Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Whiteface Lodge for our last family trip of the year. We hadn't been back in 13 years and by chance ended up in the suite right above our old one. The One Bedroom Superior Suite was spotless and had a true Adirondack feel. Housekeeping actually mops the suite floors during turnarounds instead of just vacuuming. The walk-out porch had a great mountain view with the leaves just starting to turn. The 2nd floor coffee bar is open from 5 AM to 5 PM, which was ideal for grabbing a cup early, sitting on the chilly porch before breakfast, or walking the grounds while waiting for everyone to wake up. The underground tunnel connects the buildings so you don't have to step out in the cold. The movie theater has a cozy basement feel with a Bose Tube setup!, fresh popcorn, family movies at 10 AM, and older PG-13 films at 9 PM. The bowling alley, arcade, and pool tables are all right together. The indoor/outdoor pool and hot tubs are heated, though stepping outside takes a second to adjust if cold. We ate at Peak 47 lounge the first night to skip the Lake Placid parking hassle; the pizza was great, and having a full kitchen made leftovers easy for lunch. KANU offers an upscale prime rib buffet, but we passed because of picky eaters (kids). Parking note: valet uses a heated garage, while the free self-parking lot fills up quickly during weddings. In town, event parking gets tight, but there is free street parking along Mirror Lake Drive if you don't mind a short walk."

Adirondack Spruce Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great place! Never saw any staff because we just used the door code provided to let ourselves in. Cute room. Bed a bit too firm for me. Otherwise, great."

Lake House at High Peaks Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and attentive staff from front desk to housekeeping. Very clean room with beautiful view. Full use of all amenities offered by High Peaks. Walking distance to downtown shops & restaurants. Great stay!"

White Pine Camp

10/10 Excellent

"I would just note that the bedrooms are on the top floor and there are stairs going to the ground floor where the living area, balcony, kitchen and dining area are. The rooms were lovely cabins with lots of room. It included all types of goodies to make your stay welcoming. In the bathroom there were toiletries, a hair dryer, and soft fluffy towels. We greatly appreciated the complementary coffee and tea as we'd forgotten to pack those. We also liked the sampling of books in our cabin to occupy our downtime. The property itself is stunning. Water surrounds both sides of the property and there are canoes and kayaks, fishing poles, umbrellas and lots of other things you can borrow if the need arises. I would love to come back for a longer stay. The only downsides I would note (and they were pretty minor for us): the view from the Kirkwood room had a small view of the water. The pictures online made it seem like a wide open view. Additionally, we arrived at dusk and it was indeed difficult to find your room (directions were written well -- just wouldn't advise arriving at nighttime). The sound carries, so you need to make sure you're pretty quiet at night as we could hear singing and coversations from the neighboring rooms. All in all, I would 100% return again. It would be a nice place to relax and unwind."
