There was no one a out the property. All business is done by annoying endless texts there was no ice in the ice maker and the microwave didn't work. We couldn't get into our room because the code they sent didn't work. Coffee maker didn't work . Then they asked for a review on the 1st day . I had to block the texts

It was a great spot , close to town. The rooms were comfortable and clean . The view of the lake at the back of the property was gorgeous. The initial code that was sent to me to get in the room did not work but I called and got assistance immediately and she stayed on the phone with us until we got in the room . The only negative comment I have is the limited parking spots . It snowed while we were there and it made the limited space even more challenging.

I loved this hotel last year and booked again for the same work event. This year however, the shower nob was broken when we first got there, so we couldn’t shower for the first night. And the heat/air con wasn’t responding to the thermostat, so it was either off and freezing, or reading 80 degrees.

Incredible! Must stay.

Our stay at Placid Bay Hotel was absolutely amazing! The location is perfect and right on the lake. We stayed at the country comfort cottage and it was super spacious, clean and comfortable! Service and communication was excellent. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else during a trip to lake placid. We will be back! Thank you!!:)
