LOWER THAN ONE STAR

No elevator only stairs and a lot of them. No handicap access. No one at the desk. No help from management, even by Phone. The first night we were awoken by water pouring into our room because of a broken fire system pipe (Not a Fire.). We were soaked as well as all our luggage. There was water flowing throughout the stairways and the ceiling. When we got to the lobby no one would speak to us. They were more concerned with the noise disturbing other customers and were only interested in getting the alarm to stop. We waited as long as we could for help but as it was the middle of February and we needed to get to a warm room and dry off, the fire department recommended a couple of places that may have a room. It was now one in the morning so with no help from management to be found we left and were lucky enough to find a room and began drying out at Two in the morning. The next day we returned to the pines to discuss things. They said we would be responsible for all charges because we left and they now had a room available. We were told we didn't canceled correctly. I told them our room with water pouring into it canceled not us. The manager said that's their policy. I said I wanted a full refund and as of yet neither the Pines nor the Booking company has refunded a dime. It’s crazy to involve an attorney but this management company is terrible so they give you no alternative.

It was very old overall. Staff were nice except there were very few people working. The beds are loud and old/unstable. The bathroom was not very appealing either as the shower barely worked. No microwave or fridge. There is a nice large lobby though to hang out at with coffee and tea.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
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.
