Laurel Lake Placid

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean and offered a great view of mirror lake! Luke at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, answering my endless questions about the hotel and area! Bar looked amazing, however didn’t get a chance to utilize it! Common areas were extremely clean and offered numerous places to relax! There’s a little wear and tear, but nothing that affected my stay! There is a limited amount of parking, but had no trouble finding a space even when I came in late!"

"Loved the lakefront view, the private parking and boats. The room could use some repairs, mostly what looks to be some pretty bad water damage/mildew in the bathroom. The entrance into the building has a carpet that's pulling up and causing a trip hazard. The staff was kind enough to provide us a corkscrew when we asked for one and we got a complimentary glad of champagne when we got there which was nice."

8/10 Good
"Clean but very basic. Very small bathroom. Chose this for the lake side location and inexpensive rate. It was sufficient, and clean, and across the street from a restaurant. Didn't need fancy, just a place to sleep."
