Dirty carpet, peeling wallpaper that looked dated 60 years. Musty 30 year old window air conditioner that the filter had to be washed in the bathtub. ripped curtains and a clothes iron print burned into the carpet. The elevator has been apparently out of service for such a long time that they put decorations and tables in front of it and I would of liked to not walked up stairs because I injured tendons around my knee requiring crutches. I would assume that would be an ADA failure especially when you have stairs required to get to every room. No on-site hotel attendant so everything was done by leaving room keys on a desk which would of been interesting if someone that isn't a paying visitor just picked up a few keys and stayed in a room unannounced. When you needed things like toiletries you had to wait hours to receive them because the room wasn't stocked or inspected before hand. Empty soda bottles and trash in the table drawers. TV was not working when we got to our room. Paying over $350 for a room just to sleep on a bed is a bit over price.

Can't beat the location. 3 minute WALK to Mirror Lake and everything that Lake placid has to offer. Any properties closer to the lake are several hundred dollars more per night. The hotel is dated and there really isn't a front desk attendant but the room is clean and comfortable, and any help needed is only a phone call away where a very pleasant person will speak to you about any questions or issues. The bathroom was nice and in good condition with a vintage, yet, updated vibe. Nice TV with Roku channels and the convenience of a great restaurant bar right on the premises. There is NO fridge or coffee maker in the room but there is an area with a coffee maker and a microwave. NO fridge. So if you need to pack a lunch then night before a long day of hiking, bring your own cooler with ice. I think this hotel is in the process of making convenient improvements so having a refrigerator or ice dispenser in the premises would be a PLUS.

Good location but worst customer service
The location is ok because its closed to town However, there was no service and not even a single staff available on site in case you need anything not even front desk representative. There was no Iron/Steamer in our room and have called them multiple times and even after 5 calls and 2 hours wait I received the faulty Iron which was of no use that wasted alot of my time

The Pines Inn Lake Placid is a unique property. It is located near shopping and many restaurants. Parking is easy. Check in is simple and easy. The property could use some freshening up. It is just a basic hotel room located in a historical building. My room was adequate but the closet was unfinished. Loose ceramic tile on bathroom floor. Bottom of shower curtain was black mold. Sink and shower have drainage problems. I found someone else’s hair in the shower and dead spider above bathroom door frame that someone killed and just left the dead carcass there. I only stayed 2 nights but I’d say overall the stay was ok. I needed ice but there was no ice machine. There is also no working elevator but I was advised of the elevator situation. I would stay here again but I would bring my own cleaning supplies. Bedding and towels were clean.

We love the hotel, very peaceful, excellent outdoors space, access to lake placid, gorgeous view, and very quiet. The pool is amazing, the rooms are clean and newly renovated. Best TV , prime, Disney. One negative is that the paddle boats fins were broken, so were the seats on the kayaks. I hope the hotel updates/ maintains equipment. The canoe has both center seats broken. My daughter looked forward to going on the water and she did not, we had to rent a paddle boat in town. Other than that everything was perfect.
