"This is a wonderful hotel. As a boutique hotel the number of rooms are limited, but that just makes for more personalized and better service. The hotel is located at the tip of Mirror Lake, just a 5 minute walk from the heart of Lake Placid. The Olympic speed skating oval is only a block away, the Olympic museum and ice rinks are two blocks. Rooms at the front of the hotel overlook a public park and beach, with clear views of the lake. The hotel is located within a 15 minute drive of all the Lake Placid and Olympic attractions. Parking is easy and plentiful. The rooms are large and clean. The decor is minimal but lovely. The bathrooms are very modern and the shower is to die for. Rainfall showerhead, walk in and very large. I reserved a room with a loft which was larger than I needed, but provided an enjoyable separation from the sleeping area. The complimentary breakfast was very good with numerous food alternatives available. The hotel has 24/7 complimentary coffee and tea for visitors. Why most hotels don't do this, I can't fathom. I don't even drink coffee or tea and I still think that is both a great and underrated amenity. The biggest drawback of which I can speak is that the elevator is very slow. It's a small price to pay for such a great property. Lake Placid is a fantastic destination. If I ever go back to the area, there is no question that the Lake Placid Inn Boutique Hotel is where I'll be staying. I give it my highest recommendation."

"Beautiful location, lovely hotel."

"The Castle is a terrific and unique place to stay."

"This place is terrific--friendly, accommodating staff, fantastic facilities (the pools, the kayaks and paddleboards on the lake). Great for a summer or winter getaway."

"I enjoyed my stay. The rooms were comfortable, clean and I was able to sleep very well on the beds provided. I wish there were more eating options around the vacinity. "

"We’d definitely stay there again! You feel removed from the tourist crowds yet it’s all a few blocks away. "
