The view from the balcony room was beautiful. The beds were comfortable. The lobby was great. It had games, pool, foosball, comfy couches and a great view.

The guest experience

8.7out of 10
771 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Excellent lakeside location and views
  • Friendly and helpful staff
  • Good on-site amenities (pool, water equipment, kayaks, beach)
  • Pleasant outdoor setting and quiet areas
  • Welcome touches (champagne) and activities nearby

Worth knowing — Rooms dated and in need of renovation (mold, worn furnishings) · Housekeeping inconsistencies and missed service · Poor soundproofing/connecting rooms and some street noise · High price relative to room condition (poor value) · Slow check-in, occasional double-booking/door key issues · No elevator access to waterfront rooms / many stairs

How guests scored the stay

  • Service10.0

    Generally praised: staff were described as friendly, helpful and apologetic when issues arose (handled double-booking smoothly). Some guests noted poor responsiveness to text surveys, but overall frontline staff interactions were strong.

  • Location10.0

    Consistently praised: waterfront/lakeside setting, walkable to downtown, great views and convenient access to activities and water equipment.

  • Amenities10.0

    Strong amenity set noted: lake equipment, pool, beach, pedalos and kayaks included, welcome champagne and pleasant outdoor areas — guests appreciated available activities and facilities.

  • Food and Beverage10.0

    Limited mentions but generally positive: food described as 'pretty good' and guests appreciated welcome champagne; no major complaints reported about F&B.

  • Cleanliness8.2

    Mixed reports: some guests described rooms as clean and comfortable, but multiple reviews cited mold in the shower, pilled sheets, a dirty toilet seat, a bag of dog waste on a porch, and missed housekeeping — overall cleanliness is inconsistent.

  • Overall Experience8.2

    Overall a mixed but largely positive stay driven by location, staff and amenities; however, dated rooms, housekeeping lapses, noise and perceived poor value tempered the experience.

    Peter · solo traveller · 2026-09-05

    “We loved the access to the lake with paddle boards, kayaks, etc. It is walking distance to the restaurants and bars in town. The hotel has a game room with Foosball and a pool table overlooking the Lake. Each day my wife and I did a walk around the lovely lake. We want to come back to do a 10 mile bike path between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.”

  • All in all we enjoyed our stay at High Peaks resort.
