Cold in room. Slept in hoodie. No hot water in sink. Needs major updating. Redneck Bistro was great. Mattress was comfy. Need heavier blankets in winter. If I stayed again I would bring a sleeping bag.

There was a lot to like ... the location is good, the hotel was clean, the parking lot was kept clear of new snow. But it's hard to get past the age of the building. There is a definite musty odor, but it's not too strong and is expected with a building this old. The floors are also quite slanted. I felt like I was walking down hill going from one side of my room into the bathroom. The thing I disliked the most was not having anyone at the front desk. I was told that I would get an email on the day of check-in to provide instructions. When I didn't receive anything, I emailed the hotel. I received a response pretty quickly, but was just told that there would be an envelope on the counter inside the hotel, with my name and room number written on it. Inside was my key. An actual key with a room tag on it. Overall, it was okay. I really just wanted to place to sleep and shower and that's what it was.

We were grateful for the friendliness and accommodation of the staff to our requests. This hotel is in a great location and the lodging is comfortable and clean. It is a work in progress as they are renovating it over time, and it has excellent bones. The food at the restaurant next to the lobby was very good! If you're traveling to the area and plan to spend most of your time outside, don't want to spend a fortune, and don't need a five-star hotel rating - I can happily recommend this location!

a fantastic experience

I recently stayed at The Pines Hotel in Lake Placid, and it was a fantastic experience! While the hotel has an older charm, it is well-maintained, clean, and comfortable—exactly what you need for a great stay in this beautiful area. One of the standout features is the location—you can’t beat it! It’s conveniently situated near all the attractions Lake Placid offers, making exploring the town, enjoying outdoor activities, or visiting easy. The rooms were tidy, and the beds were comfortable. I appreciated the attention to cleanliness, which made the stay all the more pleasant. If you’re looking for a great value, a comfortable stay, and a prime location, The Pines Hotel is an excellent choice for any visit to Lake Placid. This is my preferred hotel in Lake Placid when I visit!

Misleading

Well my family and I did not stay. The pictures were misleading and our room was not up to a normal standard. I wish I would have looked at the reviews before booking and am hoping to get some type of refund. I cannot imagine sleeping there and found a lovely place in Saranc Lake. The room was small, dirty, no amenities and a waste pipe sticking out of the ceiling.

We knew from the other reviews this was going to be a tough property, and it was pretty dead on. No one at check in, you just grab your keys laying out. Our tv didn't work, we found someone helping someone else find their room, and he was able to fix it quickly. The beds were comfortable, sheets and blankets fine. Bathroom was mouldy, ceiling was stained with mould and cracks. I think the biggest issue was the wood framed building was so creaky and thin, I could hear the person above me peeing and they were up at 4am, so were we. We knew what we were getting into, it is priced fairly. Good option for a cheap stay, but as advertised.

Very disappointed

This was my second stay. The first last year was okay. So I decided to stay and try it again. I was given room 210. I entered, the room, it was ice cold with only a space heater in it. This was December 7th. I went to the front desk Jeff(?) the maintenance person was there, I told him the situation and he gave me a 2nd space heater. I asked if there was a different room available, he said no. I couple minutes later he knocked and said he had a new room. Number 104. I thanked him. I moved my bags and settled in. Upon entering the bed, I saw the sheets had not been changed. You could tell by the portion of the bed that was not slept on AND there were a persons pubic hairs clearly on the bottom sheet. Too tired to complain, I slept on top of the blanket in my clothes. I told myself, never again stay at this property.

This is a value priced option in Lake Placid. The building is lovely, but it is falling into disrepair. I hope the management will be able to address this before it goes too far.
