Great property on the lake
Great location, a short walk to Maine street with direct access to Lake Placid. The room was great- I was a little concerned about the self-checking, but it worked fine.

Good spot in Lake Placid
We had a few hiccups when we first arrived and though the property was not staffed we found they were responsive by phone and text. We could walk to downtown, though long, but on well maintained sidewalks. Beautiful views of the mountains over the lake. Grocery store nearby.

It was walking distance to town and clean. Couldn’t shut the heat off so had to sleep with the air conditioner on all night even though it was 50° outside. The only way to contact was online. They had no nobody in the office. I didn’t like that.

Weird contactless check in. But maintenance guy was great in the morning. Really cool place. Walls are thin and you could hear other room clearly.

Notre chambre était propre et bien équipée avec frigidaire et micro-ondes. Bien situé, restaurant McDonald's de l'autre coté de la rue et à distance de marche de la rue Principale et de ses commerces. Coup de coeur pour la cour située au bord de l'eau. Canots et kayaks disponibles. Tables et chaises pour apprécier le magnifique paysage. Le seul point négatif est pour les propriétaires de chiens qui ne ramassent pas les excréments de leur animal sur le gazon. Nous retournerons certainement à cet hôtel !

Checked in at 4pm but room was not ready, bed was not made. After calling customer service we were told there were laundering issues and please come back at 4:30 everything would be ready. At 4:30 room was still not ready, on site staff never got the message. On site staff were super friendly and took care of finishing the room right away. Otherwise everything was great.

False advertising at Placid Bay Hotel
It's basically a motel that has new paint. It's on the main road - noisy trucks. The room smelled of cheesy popcorn and we woke up nautious. The chair (only 1) had stains on it. The air conditioner was so loud (a 747 would seem peaceful) we had to turn it off so we were too hot. The check in has nobody in the office - it's all with a code, there is no lobby, no place to get a drink (just a coffee machine), the pool looked nice, and there were chairs by the water, but this is NOT a resort, it's a motel. I phoned to ask if we could move and not stay or pay since it's such false advertising, but they said no, but they would happily give me a discounted rate since it was so disappointing. BUT they lied, ghosted me after we stayed despite seeming to care what we thought. I highly recommend you save your money and stay at a real resort. Don't stay here.

I love this hotel. I like that you don’t have to formally check in ; I was super exhausted when I arrived and having the key code for the room was ultra convenient. The room was cozy and comfortable; it had everything I needed for a great night’s sleep. Bed was perfect… I will definitely stay here again !

Although the key was not ready when we arrived the soap dispener ran out, and the coffee maker did not operate, service was courteous and sometimes prompt.

The peace, space, location and support of the staff make that we enjoyed our stay and definitely want to come back here when we are in the area again. The only consideration for us was the AC in our room which was built in without rubbers which makes the frame resonate loudly.

10/10 Exceptional

The only reason I gave 4 stars for staff & service is because it's a self-service kind of place. You get a code for your door, which is also the code for the lobby which has ice, extra coffee and creamers, brochures, etc. The rooms are small but comfortable. The shampoos et al. are Beekman, which is a nice touch. We spent very little time in the room so the size didn't matter. If it had rained I think there were 1000 channels on the tv. The location is a short walk to the main area of Lake Placid and there's a very pretty bay with Adirondack chairs, canoes/kayaks and fire pits behind the property.

I never got the check in email with room number and access code. Plus the hotel didn’t clean the room while I was there. Not worth the price. Not sure I would stay there again.
