    Took my girlfriend to Lake Placid for her birthday weekend, and I needed a real gem of a hotel to impress her. This place is great! Beautiful lobby with complimentary tea and coffee, not to mentioned a fabulous fireplace/lounge area! The view from our room was outstanding, and the customer service was impeccable. I lost a really expensive snowboarding glove, and the staff found it and put it in their lost and found! Score! This hotel is also located steps from Lake Placid's main drag of shops and restaurants. Thank you MLI!

    Bathroom, very clean!

    Positives: Beautiful room. Room 831 - Mountain View Top Floor - super clean. Cookies at the desk were excellent. My husband took one every time he walked by :) Staff are amazing and friendly. Attentive. Grounds were great, well maintained. Could not have picked a better 3 days. Weather was great. Spa was excellent - not busy. Outdoor and indoor pool were as advertised and enjoyable. Plenty of towels. Not so positive: View from our room was less than stellar. See photo. I would recommend this room be listed at a lower level due to obstructed views. Those with ambulation issues should be sure to get a room that does not require steps and walking up or down the hill area. That being said, many hotels here are on a hill of some type. Lastly, during the summer, bring eye covers to sleep, the sun came through each morning, and we had to leave the curtains open for the air conditioner. Likely won't be an issue during the winter months.

    It is a historic place (100yr old) in mirror lake, but that's about it.. We spent about $750 per night here, but we were so underwhelmed that we wanted to switch the hotel after the first night (but we couldn't due to their hotel policy - cancellation 48 hours prior to arrival) Pros 1. swimming pool, jacuzzi, mini gym and spa available 2. well decorated lobby (lobby ONLY) 3. lake view (you get to see the mirror lake from the hotel room) - if you paid more tsk tsk cons 1. extremely underwhelmed room 2. spider webs and dead bugs everywhere around the windows that you don't want to open the windows (made us think that they do not really take care of the property, but charge people so much for the rooms.. really?) 3. overpriced food (room service from restaurants called the cottage and the view, but food was meh) 4. staff - not so friendly There are many places to stay around mirror lake.. I would definitely try other places close to here, but not here..

    Service: some of the most urgent and effective service I've ever received, rivals some premiere NYC hotels. What is most impressive though is the employees seem genuinely proud to be here and happy to help. Troy delivered our room service from cottage (part of property but not in our building) came in 15 minutes and with a smile. April servicing the 6th floor housekeeping was available, attentive, and lovely. For those who dock their review over the 8% service charge #1 read your bill #2 these people are very good at what they do and deserve more than 8%. I constantly saw employees (non-invasively) cleaning and tidying; one time the elevator opened and one of the staff members in a black blazer was shining the interior elevator stainless steel features. Also impressive is how *every* team member from front desk, to spa, to pool technician, to house keeping, to managers, to wait staff, etc are all exceptional. Food: The View - restaurant attached to property was great for breakfast. Demir was also exceptional, and again seemed genuinely happy to be there. I appreciated how all members of the staff (maître d, owners, servers, busers) were equally present and eager to help. The Cottage - across the street, such a nice cozy spot out of the center of downtown, can really appreciate the view. Amenities: as I said to Tony in the pool/hottub I have no clue how they keep an indoor, warm, wet climate so clean. Zero mold. Zero rotting of the wood items. So impressive. Not a big indoor pool fan but as a mom, I appreciate the joy it brings to kids and families and what a great option to break up your day without needing to leave the property. Decor: the people reviewing negatively about the dated decor cracks me up. I agree there are some carpets and decor features that are dated and as someone who was here just for a wedding sure, not my favorite. But from my convos and observations the bulk of their clientele are repeat customers who adore the traditional and familiar decor. The really neat historic photos & memorabilia also clearly stamp that this IS the vibe they're going for. And nothing is "dated" that negatively impacts your experience; tv, windows, bathroom, kitchenettes, all updated. This place has so much history and families who value their traditions, I appreciate & respect that. And the lobby (here at Christmas time) is absolutely charming. One final note, I read reviews of this place before coming and the managers named 9000x to just tell them the feedback and they'll fix it. Then I checked in and there was a clear and easy to fill out review card. This place clearly wants to please and do right by their customers which I also really respect.

    Lunch- on a breathtakingly gorgeous sunny and warm July afternoon, with a patio table overlooking the lake. Let's start off with Jerk chicken and rice soup! Why yes, thank you! So good. Glad I got the bowl, especially since I planned on something light to follow. And it proved too good for just a cup anyway. Now it became a choice between the flat bread pizza or the Cucumber Basil egg salad. I went with the latter. Made with basil, scallions, and cucumber. $14.75 -Served with a side of toasted baguette and sliced tomato. I will be copying this concoction at home! Tomato slices were fresh, firm and delicious, as was the baguette. They had a very nice draft beer selection too. I went with the Northway perfect day Pilsner. Tasty, crisp, and refreshing. . My wife got the APRICOT CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH- $14.75 All white meat chicken tossed with dried apricots, sliced almonds, scallions and sesame ginger mayonnaise. Served on hearty grain bread with lettuce and tomato. Another great choice. Did I mention the service was great too? Prompt, polite, and friendly. All in all an excellent summer lunch. Give this place a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. If my review helped you decide, let me know with a vote or a shameless compliment! Thanks

    We just returned from celebrating our anniversary at the Inn. We enjoyed the Inn, Amenities, and Staff so much that we extended our reservation an additional night. The Inn is wonderful and all areas (room, restaurants (View and Cottage) sitting areas, exercise room, beach/boathouse/docks) are all well maintained and clean. The entire staff at all locations (front desk, housekeeping, restaurants, boathouse, gift shop, grounds/pool maintenance are all very welcoming, personable, and always ready to assist if needed with a greeting and a smile. The food at the View and the Cottage was delicious and delightfully presented. We have previously stayed and/or dined at the MLI numerous times over the years going back to the 1980's and look forward to future visits.

    I was extremely impressed with the services during Covid - and my room had the most gorgeous view of the lake. There is no traditional room service but will deliver breakfast in a to go bag. I would highly recommend the breakfast sandwich, the meat changes daily but the Canadian bacon egg sandwich was so (so) good.

    This place has been here forever and it looks like it. The prices have kept up with the times and you will pay an arm and a leg. The rooms are spacious but dated. The library area is a fun cozy spot to enjoy. The spa isn't great and the salt bath experience is a giant waste of time. The good news is it is close to town and has a great view. The other negative is its not very stroller accessible. You have to walk down a steep hill if you want to take the stroller out and walk into town. The front desk person said that is the only option. Anyway, the Mirror Lake is a cool nostalgic place perfect if you are going skiing on the nearby mountain. A little overpriced but it is what it is.

    For years we have heard about the Mirror Lake Inn and how wonderful it was- This month we got to finally spend a weekend away and celebrated a special Anniversary!! When we arrived there was a beautiful welcome gift in our room to help kick our weekend off - such a wonderful touch!! Our room was AMAZING!! We were on the top floor overlooking the lake- wonderful sliding glass door to take in the beautiful scenery!! Watching the sunrise was a wonderful way to start each day!! We also had a gas fireplace In our room which really made our stay wonderful!! Room service was by request- but Linda went to get us wine glasses- she brought both white and red glasses as she wanted to be sure we had what we needed! The common spaces within the hotel are plentiful!! So many cozy areas to sit and take in the scenery- or warm up by the fire - or just sit and talk and enjoy a glass of wine! The bar staff was amazing- they know their drinks and will even create something special based on your spirit preferences! The food- Over the top - Wonderful- incredible flavor combinations!! I highly recommend getting their meal package- breakfast each morning and one dinner- we'll worth it!!! We attended Chef Curtis' Culinary Weekend!! Such a great experience- 2 - 3 hr cooking classes- right at the hotel! Chef did all the cooking - and we got to watch - ask questions and enjoy the wonderful food prepared for us!! Lastly since it was cold we ordered food from the Cottage (across the street) and enjoyed lunch sitting in the bar overlooking the lake! The indoor pool and Hot tub are amazing!! You don't want to miss checking them out!

    After spending a week at this hotel, I have many reasons why I would not recommend it…read more -The tub in our room did not drain properly, so we were standing in our own bathwater while showering. -There's no fan/vent in the bathroom. -The curtains do not open all the way, so you pay a premium for a lake view and cannot really enjoy half of it unless you sit right in front of it or go outside to an uncomfortable bench on a narrow balcony. -Most of the front desk staff was flat and unhelpful. -We asked the host to refill the black tea bags in the free tea/coffee area several times over the course of a few days-she would not do it and would only hand us 1 or 2 tea bags at a time. Is black tea too expensive and that's why the guests only get green tea?? (even though there was black tea days prior). We are paying $274 a night to be here for a week. That's a lot of money to pay to have to ask for black tea. -Very understaffed in the restaurant at night. I felt bad for the staff, they were trying so hard (except the host, she didn't try at all). -I talked to another guest who had lots of complaints and was on her FOURTH room because she kept having to switch due to issues. -The mini-fridge froze like half the food, (and no I did not put it in the freezer section). -Housekeeping was not prompt (would come around 3pm when we were back in the room to work remotely on a different time zone). -One of the self-service washing machines is SO loud you can literally hear it from 2 floors down. -The free kayaking is closed for the season while the other kayak rental in town is still operating...That was not clear when booking. The first day we were there, it was 85 degrees F and lots of people were out kayaking. It would have been nice to know that that wasn't going to be included. So overall, I would not recommend staying here. We wished we had stayed in Saranac Lake, but in Lake Placid there are plenty of other hotels with great views (and maybe the curtains would actually open all the way so you can see it).

It does sit on top of a big hill which could be a challenge for some if they're wanting to walk everywhere. We enjoyed being able to walk everywhere with our pup.

It was clean, pretty, and we had everything we needed and loved being right on Main Street. We were able to walk wherever we wanted and after we wanted to stay longer. Yulia the manager moved us to the room across the hall since ours was taken and we wanted to stay longer and ended up in number 10 for the past 2 nights. What bliss! The staff was amazing!

We only saw 1 employee the entire stay though he was very nice it took us over 20 minutes to check in (even though I had already registered via the online form they sent me). The room was very clean but not at all what was pictured. We also had a balcony that we requested but no seating and was so rusted we were concerned to go out on it. The hotel as a whole seems run down and unfinished. The halls are dark and dreary and the carpet was very VERY stained. There was no coffee, iron or ironing board in the room. I was going to call the front desk and realized there was no phone. I called the hotel from my cell phone and got a voicemail. The pool table, air hockey table, coffee machine in the lobby as well as all the ice machines and vending machines were also out of order. Overall not what we wanted or were expecting. Other than the location being good everything else was not worth it. It seemed like they were not ready to open. If you're looking for a clean bed and good location. That is all you will get.

Everything was super clean, the room was spacious, very clean and had new carpeting and recently updated bathroom. The grounds were incredibly well maintained - lovely pool area and firepit with free smore's fixings at the front desk. Front desk personnel were very nice. Founded by an Olympian Ski Jumper Arthur Devlin years ago - all of his medals and trophys are in the small lobby/sitting area in an interesting display. Free filtered water machine to refill your water bottle. Sits right at the start of Main Street so town, the Olympic Center and Mirror Lake are nearby. We did drive to get to far end of Main (lazy night) but you can walk if you don't mind a bit of uphill to start and a bit of a walk. Room had a leather recliner in it which made us laugh, bc you never see that in a hotel, but honestly my husband was thrilled. No idea if those are in every room. We had 2 queens suite with mountain view. Ground floor. Would have liked to see what view was from upper level room, but even with ground floor our deck faced the mountain and wasn't obscured. Room to improve - No vending machines or even water to buy. While they do offer a free filtered fountain for bottle refills, sometimes you just want a new bottle. Minor issue.

While we really liked this resort I would not necessarily recommend it those with physical challenges. There are actually 3 separate buildings that compromise the resort. The building we were in had a lot of stairs and no elevator. The "main" building interior is beautiful and there are man made waterfalls out front. The main building does have an elevator but the amenities, like pools, are pretty spaced out and require considerable walking. The room we stayed in beautiful with a wonderful view of the lake and mountains beyond. Of very special note: the Guest Services Manager- Ms Lia Collins- is a truly special person. She went beyond normal policy to help us out when unexpected circumstances caused us to cut our stay short. She treated us with caring and compassion- not just as customers. I highly recommend this hotel - aside from my accessibility comments. In my opinion- if accessibility is an issue for you- that you stay in the main building. Just be aware that there will be some walking. Overall a very nice place to stay!!

    Stayed at lake house and king suite on the water front each for a couple of days…read more King suite by far better. Big, on the lake, comfier bed and pillows. There is a whirlpool bathtub we didn't use but the bathroom is huge. Downside in both rooms were spiders on the balcony (staying early September). Huge ones too. You brush them away and they come back in an hour. The lake house feels like camp. The room has a nice wood vaulted ceiling but that's the only nice feature. The carpet, bed and bathroom were pretty clean except that we found shavings in the sink and the faucet cap was missing and it was all rusted and corroded. The bathtub also had a draining problem. And the bathroom was super tiny, and the tissue box almost fell in the toilet multiple times. The toilet is not a home toilet but one you find in airport bathrooms. Blech. The best feature is the community room bar area which is really cute and spacious. The foosball table was fun but it is from the 80s or something. Small pool table, didn't get a chance to play. The atmosphere is a 60s chalet and it's great for playing board games, they have a few but we brought our own. As a guest at the resort you get access to all three building so doesn't matter where you stay, you can use all the services. Downstairs there is a pool and hot tub, just cement with a hole in it. My husband used the hot tub and was lucky no one else was in it. It's very big and has lots of jets. The whole room is very basic and can use a deep clean and some potted plants around or something to make it pretty. I have no idea what the rec room outside the pool could be, dirty carpeted area that I can picture a two year old running around circles in- that's about it. Wasted space. There is another pool and hot tub in the main building and it is a trek away from the other buildings as it's nestled in the back. It's super hot and steamy in the whole room and it looks newer than the other pool but still very basic. For a romantic getaway I highly suggest booking any waterfront room or suite, the view and rooms are much better cared for and more updated looking. Also having access right to the lake instead of walking across the street is a huge benefit. Only downside is the parking lot at waterfront is super tiny and you have to do multiple k turns and it took me 15 minutes to park into a spot. And the entry with the gates is awkward while your car sticks out in the middle of the street. But still the rooms and views are worth it. Only hotel I've seen that has paddle boats too. Lots of equipment available to borrow which is great. The place is a 4 star hotel but to me it's more of a 3. It is the cheaper of the 4 star hotels on mirror lake and I think it's because the amenities and rooms are old (still functional though). A lot of crevices in the rooms weren't cleaned, like spiderwebs in corners of the balconies and under the radiator. The service is very attentive though. They were super accommodating and everything I texted them about was dealt with in a timely manner. I really like their text service, so you don't have to keep calling the front desk for every little thing. Free coffee in the lobby of the main building and lake house every morning. Plenty of spring water fillers around the property. We didn't use the fire pits but last lighting is at 9pm and you have to buy your s'mores and equipment. I don't know if we would stay here again but if we did we would book a suite.

Be aware that the water is soft, which can mess with curly/wavy hair. The AC worked well. The breakfast had variety for the meat and eggs each day, but there were 4 kinds of bagels and no whole wheat bread or English muffins. The hotel's location was great for walking to restaurants in the evening. Mirror Lake, which is essentially out the back gate of the parking lot, has a very nice walking trail around it.

    Came here as my wife really wanted to go to Lake Placid, and we co-planned taking my son to a Xmas…read morethemed kiddie park (we high ended up being closed). Place is right on the main drag in town, and is nice inside. Staff at front desk were not as friendly as most hotels, and didn't recognize status, but otherwise were perfectly fine. Rooms were good with lots of nice decor and touches. Felt more like a nice cabin than a room, even if they were a bit narrow. Walls and ceilings were thin and you could hear very easily what was going on in rooms around you. Elevators also on the cramped side. They up charge for lake view rooms, so if you book via Bonvoy, expect to get a view of the parking lot. Valet parking situation was unexpected as this wasn't prominently called out on their site. We sucked it up and paid, but it was another charge even if it understood it once I saw their lot. Still the walkability of the hotel makes it worthwhile. Just would probably try another place near the main drag before coming here again.

    I recently needed to attend a conference at the Lake Placid Olympic Center and stayed here as the…read moremap said it was close by... It actually is a pretty close/quick walk. Checking in was great, friendly, professional, and she explained the property and recognized my status and perks. First impressions of the property are the attention to detail throughout, including the room. It definitely looks like it belongs in the Adirondacks. I got to my room and immediately noticed the view through the bedroom window of Mirror Lake, which was nice. The attention to detail I notice about the building itself extended into the room when I noticed the solid brass door hinges on the bedroom doors and the patinaed plumbing fixtures and handles on the sink, shower, and yes the toilet too! Housekeeping does a nice job keeping everything clean and nice looking for guests and they did a great job refreshing my room each of my three nights/days there. The TVs in my room were great... remotes worked perfectly and they features Pluto TV (A "must have" for me these days!) as well as a very large local TV selection. Plenty of outlets in the room too. Bedding was beautiful and clean. The issues I had with the room were that the bed was EXTREMELY NOISY! Each time I moved, turned over while sleeping, etc it made these very loud "springy" sounds like there was an orgy going on in that bed at that time - Very Unacceptable! The mattress wasn't very comfy. The biggest issue was that the HVAC didn't do anything. I set the temp for 65 degrees with "cool" being on and it rarely turned on and when it did, it was loud so you had to turn up the TV. Also, the room really never went below 70 degrees, even though the thermostat on the wall that controls the HVAC says it's 65 - It's WRONG! This was such a HUGE issue for me, because of the 3 nights I stayed there, I hardly slept. I woke up at 3AM the first 2 nights and the last night, I woke up at 12:30AM - Ridiculous! If it weren't the lack of sleep, I'd give this property a much higher review, but since I'm paying for a comfortable place to lay my head, I have to dock 1.5 stars from the 5 star property this has the potential to be - giving it 3 stars and since it affected my sleep, I'm going on the low end to 3. Sorry, but it is what it is.
