The manager ( John ). Was very rude when questioned about getting clean towels and overall lack of housekeeping. Furnished with Vintage furniture in poor repair, the desk litterely collapsed while sitting at it. TV didn’t work, Manager claimed that was bc our room doesn’t have cable, despite there being a cable attached . Undoubtedly one of the worst places we have ever stayed

We spent one night in Saranac Lake, where hotels run from posh resorts, to a little scary looking. This place is fine - nice room and great rec room downstairs. Our caretaker was friendly and helpful. The only downside was we visited during a heat wave and there was no AC in our room, only a fan. I recommend this place for a short stay.

Our stay at Prescott House was a delight. The house is unique, cozy, and welcoming! The onsite manager was friendly and available, and we had everything we needed. The large bathrooms are shared, but the doors can be locked for quick showers, and there are also a few private half-baths (and one private shower) scattered throughout the building. Our room was a little bit musty and had not been updated like some of the other rooms, but it was clean and very affordable and met all our needs. We appreciated the coffee station and porches, the window a/c unit for the hot nights, the opportunity to meet other guests, and the fascinating history of the house. I would be glad to return. Thank you!

Totally what I expected. The property has a great story. Nothing fancy but I did not expect it to be and I did not want it to be. Super clean. Friendly staff. Low price. Felt very comfortable and secure. Will definitely go again and again.

John is very personable. It would be helpful to have internet and passwords in the rooms (added to the guests notes sheet?), and listed in the front “coffee” room. Otherwise, quiet and comfortable. It may be challenging, though, to reach someone if there is a problem.

Bathroom quaint - reminder of college days

Arrived to the Prescott House between 3 and 4 pm; booking stated to show ID and alert staff to arrival. Discovered notes left; remove shoes at door!! Not to wear shoes inside....spoke with other 'renters' - they never received emails or information either. Rooms were open with keys in doors, just take the key out and lock the door. We did find and speak with a staff member on site, no information given except that I should have received an email fully disclosing everything. Never received the email; explained that to staff - he said it was probably sent after I checked my email. (Checked again after talking with him, still no email) received an additional bill on my credit card for $13. - Not quite sure what that was for! I thought parking was free, and we didn't drink any of the coffee in the front room. Cameras every where on site, in hallways, entry way, and watching our shoes - so I knew our foot wear was safe! Just an odd experience.

Great alternative to a hotel. Sharing a bathroom was fine-never an issue. Clean and comfortable, affordable setting with interesting history. Not posh or luxury and would strongly recommend!!
