BEAUTIFUL Hampton Inn! It is the BEST Hampton Inn I've been to and I've been to many! Great view…read moreof Mirror Lake to sit by the window and enjoy a beverage. Lobby is gorgeous. There's plenty of seating in the dining area. It looks like a ski lodge. There a sofa in front of the fireplace with blankets and pillows. Rooms are clean. Housekeeping is wonderful. Front desk staff are top tier. Eddy and Webby were my personal favorites during my stay. There are staff constantly moping the floors throughout the hotel and elevators to dry the tracked in snow. I found breakfast to be okay; much better than other Hampton Inns. However, if the person responsible isn't maintaining the breakfast area, the waffle station gets really gross with batter everywhere. Some mornings items would be out and not stocked and was disappointing. Parking gets pretty crazy with all the snow banks. Cars take up more than one space and the handicap row gets really full. You do have to put a permit in your car during your stay. There is a FREE shuttle to and from Whiteface Mountain. I highly recommend this hotel and will return.

Everything about this hotel was great! Probably the best Hampton Inn that we have ever stayed at…read more(and we have stayed at over 100 Hampton Inns over the years)! The decor is perfect for a hotel in the Adirondack region; the location is fantastic right across from Mirror Lake and within a block from everything the downtown has to offer. We could walk to the Olympic Center in 5 minutes. Many rooms have balconies. Our balcony overlooked the lake and had views of the mountains, also. In the Great Room, a variety of newspapers, games, coloring books and even a kid's ukelele were available for use. Right across the street, there are tennis and pickleball courts and a playground. The breakfast was good with plenty of choices, and the views from the dining area couldn't have been better. There's even a cozy fireplace in the Great Room, a firepit and chairs on the patio overlooking the lake as well as Adirondack chairs facing the lake. A great place to enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine. All this, plus an indoor pool, fitness center and a super friendly staff. I highly recommend Hampton Inn Lake Placid.

Staying at Whiteface Lodge was very nice. This is an upscale lodge/resort in the middle of the ADK…read more This place has a lot to offer. The amenities and service was what made it special. Anything we needed, accommodations were made to make sure the guest felt happy. I really appreciate the effort put in to making the guest feel comfortable and exclusive. The lodge has the quintessential Adirondacks log cabin feeling but with an elevated elegance. The grounds are very nice. There are two large outdoor fire pits that are lit every night. Complimentary s'more's supplies are provided for guests every evening. The game room was also really cool and a nice place to relax with friends and family. The room I stayed in was very nice as well. A full kitchen, fire place, and patio. The bathroom had heated floors and a massive soaking tub. I would recommend this place to friends and family!

Been wanting to visit for years. Finally came, very disappointed. Not worth the money at all per…read morenight, no where near it! Grounds were beautiful, and Mate at the front desk was wonderful! However, our tub wouldn't drain properly, the faucet in the kitchen was broken, the door to the balcony wouldn't lock. The hot tubs and heated pool which was the main thing that sold us were lukewarm and honestly looked dirty and disgusting and packed with small children. The food was also extremely disappointing. A lot of fried food, even our Caesar salad was so pathetic. My husband and I have NO idea why or how KANU received a Michelin star. Why is the gentleman handling the pizza and bread baskets not wearing gloves?? Food was lukewarm, veggies were so hard, and they were always out of the main courses and deserts you would want. Honestly felt a bit dirty if we're being completely honest. Asked a waiter if they had champagne and they didn't know difference between prosecco or champagne ... at a Michelin restaurant?? From what we saw, place is understaffed as in waitress also bartending which shouldn't be, Save your money. Place def needs a serious revamp.

This is a beautiful facility. The front desk staff is very welcoming and the maintenance gentleman…read morewe dealt with was extremely friendly. 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!!

The hotel is older so the elevators are slow but the stairs are very assessable. The doorway into the rooms are even narrow. Small amount of closet space but the rooms are SO CUTE and rustic and festive. The beds are very comfortable and bathrooms is large. We had no problems with hot water. Views from the rooftop are amazing. Restaurant for breakfast was great. I am dairy free and they added cheese to my order by mistake. They quickly corrected and removed that item from the bill. Wonderful place to stay if you're passing through lake placid.

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.
