The room was very clean & comfortable.
I have to say the gentleman that checked us in was so polite & courteous.
The gentleman I was traveling with was 85 years old and has Parkinsons.
When he told me the room was on the second floor and there was no elevator, I winced. When I explained why he quickly changed us to room 101 & it was perfect.I wished I had gotten his name. He was so professional and friendly. Thank you!!
It was clean and nice breakfast, also in a great location near the lake.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff was very pleasant. Room was OK. Beds were uncomfortable. Hotel needs some love. Very worn out. Breakfast was below par. Coffee was as well. Ask for a renovated room.
I was in town from Wisconsin visiting my son. The staff was great, and the hotel room was clean. I enjoyed my stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room clean and comfortable. Nice shower but small. Hallway rug torn in spots. Breakfast doesn't offer a lot. Waffles (only 1 maker so there's a line), an entree like sausage gravy, or eggs and sausage, yogurt, fruit. oatmeal and cold cereal. Pool was cold, ceiling has plaster falling down. Doors are secured with room key but NO Elevator to 2nd floor. Staff friendly. Easy check in.
I enjoyed a peaceful stay in Saranac lake the property was lovely and the pool was nice. Short walk to Blue line brewery where I enjoyed a meal and conversation with locals.
A good area and had a restaurant/bar on walking distance for food and drinks if you wanted to. Very busy place but I got a room with horrible beds, besides that everything else was spot on very nice place
