The room was well appointed and the facilities are plenty: pool (didn’t enjoy it because of the rain), fire pit, garden, kayaks. The room is very small but the little round table and the fridge were very practical. I wasn’t thrilled by the fact that there is no reception, but the check-in was smooth and there are maintenance staff around in the mornings cleaning the rooms and making sure that the common facilities are all set up. The young cleaning lady was very helpful even if she didn’t speak much English.

Our double room was very small so the double bed is almost up against one wall. There is no night table nor reading lamp on that side which is not practical (I don’t understand why since we both have phones, books, watches…) On the floor there is barely place for two duffle bags so it would have been nice to have hooks somewhere to hang clothes. The fan in the bathroom makes an awful noise and needs to be replaced. It is well appointed but it is still a motel: outdoor corridors overlooking the parking area so I found it overpriced at almost 200 us. We were lucky to have the first room by the stairs on the second floor that had a little window with partial view of the lake.

We like smaller hotels. Our king bedroom was set up with a little kitchenette with a sink and frig and microwave. We had a small table and chairs and a nice TV. This is not a fancy place but it’s all we expected and conveniently located with a nice little back yard with access to Lake Placid via canoe, paddle board or kayak. Nice management as well.

Sadly the pool was not able to be opened. The nice manager let us know on before we arrived and they offered their other pool at a property they also mangage up,the hill.

It's a really nice cute little place with amazing views, if you pick the room that states it has views, otherwise you will either see the parking lot or other buildings. We had lake and garden views and they were awesome! Beds are very comfortable, good amenities - we chose the kitchenette, so that helped too. It was a keyless entry but we had no problems with that and no staff on site, but again that didn't bother us and anything we needed was available in the lobby. Overall, a great stay!

Everything was great except when we first got to the room, it was clean but there were towels left in the bathroom from previous guests which were obviously used. I did call about it to report it and they apologized and stated they could drop off more towels or we could get sone from the lobby, which we did. So, apart from that, no complaints. I do think an inside doormat should be added to all the rooms especially when snowing, just so we are not bringing in too much from outside. We put down a (used) towel though so no biggie. (We were not there for rentals and I think you have to light the fire pit yourself)

We’ve stayed here several times over the years, but not since the new ownership and renovation. We love the location, on Lake Placid but a short walk to Main Street. There are still canoes and kayaks for use on the lake, and even more chairs as well as a fire pit (which was never lit while we were there, unfortunately). The room was clean and the linens and towels were very nice. Bathroom was well stocked with nice products.

With the little kitchen area and the king size bed, the room seemed crowded. Also, the lighting in the room could have been better. We never saw a person, and it’s fortunate we didn’t need any help.

Beautiful property, very well maintained and equipped. The room had everything we needed and was cozy and comfortable. The outdoor area with access to the lake is extremely well maintained, and there were plenty of activities to enjoy, such as kayaking, taking a ride on the little boat, and stand-up paddling, even though swimming wasn't an option. The location is great. We could do mostly everything walking.

The pool wasn’t heated :( The bed mattress wasn’t too comfortable.

Location was great.

More lighting needed in the room. The room was perfect for one person but for two with luggage, there wasn’t enough space to hang out when weather was rainy. Aesthetically it needed paint (outside) & flowers in the flower boxes on our level were mostly dead & needed pruning. Was disappointed in the kayaks. A couple of them were not usable as the seats were broken & the paddle boards had no fins.

Close enough to town to walk but far enough to be quiet. Lovely view of Whiteface. Enjoyed the kayak use.

Pool needed cleaning. Chairs for use by lake need replacing. Split units in rooms would be a nice upgrade to loud old ac units.

First time staying at the property. The room appeared newly renovated and was very comfortable. Thermostat and heat worked great. Appreciated the single serve coffee machine (Starbuck's pods). Would definitely stay again.

Was unfortunate to have noisy neighbors (TV on loud volume and lots of walking around above), but the manager/owners responded immediately and remedied the issue. That said, it is an older building like many of the motels and hotels in Lake Placid. The rooms could use more hangers or a coat rack to make hanging up gear easier in the winter.

It is on Lake Placid . The location is Close enough to Main Street to walk to Mirror Lake and the Resturant’s and stores. But far away from the crowds if your stay is during a very busy time . The Placid Bay Hotel is more along the lines of a motel. The check in concept is self reliant, but we never felt without someone to reach out to if we wanted . The day staff we met were very friendly and concerned for the quality of our stay . I choose to stay at Placid Bay for several reasons : wanted to have a lake and Mountain View , the price range for a very popular weekend , the small kitchen like area in the room . There is a small lobby with seating , coffee , and breakfast bars .

The room was very clean, equipped with a small kitchenette, king bed, table and chairs and a full bath. Also came equipped with local shamooo, conditioner and shower gel plus utensils, wine glasses, a refrigerator and microwave for heating up leftovers. We had the perfect view of Lake Placid and Whiteface mountain, with access to the pool, dock, paddle boards and kayaks.
