I was told this property is being sold. Current owners not really interested in keeping it up. The bed was comfortable. The building is very old and needs repairs.

If I had known there was no elevator I would not have booked there. Building is very old and reminds me of a cheap retirement home. It’s not falling apart but it needs updating. Beds were clean but light bulbs were missing. Holes in wall poorly patched, stairs are a challenge for older people or those with mobility problems.

This was really a bad experience in every way. First there is no working elevator, so be ready for steep stairs. There was no TV, no fridge or microwave, no soap or shampoo. Not even handsoap at the sink. I travel a lot and never been in a hotel without these basics. Obviously no cups, coffee, ice buckets in room. Coffee in kuerig downstairs, however, we were hiking and there were no cups. So no coffee either. We learned the front desk was only available 10 to 10 so unfortunately the no soap issue waited until 10 am the next day. This was probably the worst place I ever stayed. Also, the wall paper was peeling off the walls.

DO NOT STAY HERE! No one working in the hotel before 4. Waited an hour for someone to check us in. Finally someone showed up to work but he disappeared up stairs. Never saw him again. Called the phone number for help checking and the person was completely unhelpful. Said we just had to wait. Not accessible at all. You have to carry your bags up narrow stairs.

It's an old building, with old interiors as well. We already went knowing that, therefore with very low expectations. The experience was surprisingly positive. The location is so worth it. Since we planned most of our days outside, the hotel room was only for sleeping and showers. Everything was reasonably clean, there was no smells from the carpet or anything. Bed was comfortable and temperature was pleasant, with AC. The guy at reception was kind when giving our keys. There's no fridge or Microwave in the room, but there's water, coffee/tea, and a microwave in the main floor. Toileteries are included but simple, I'd recommend taking your own shampoo/conditioner with you. I'd go back in a summer circumstance.

When I arrived, nobody here for the checkin, just a key on the frontdesk with the number of the room. Then I went to my room with a bad smell that lingers throughout the hotel. Finally I try to enter in my room and a woman inside. Go back to the reception but nobody to help me... A young man arrives in shorts and slippers to try to give me another room without even apologizing... No elevator, even though I had 6 huge bags to carry. A horrible experience! I don’t even understand how it can be rated so well. Clearly, a hotel in abandonment.

The room was clean and basic. The wallpaper in the bathroom was pealing off the walls in Room 104 and the was no water pressure in sink. The tub pressure was awesome. The place needs updating, but there was construction going on in the floors above, so maybe soon it'll be better soon.

Underwhelming Service

First place I have ever stayed where there was NOBODY at the front desk to greet you. They have an automated check-in process that requires you to take photos of your ID. I called the property while on my way to ask about early check-in and was told there would be a $35 charge. First time for that, too, but I was in no position to decline, given the very late check-in time of 4:00 and the fact that I was in town for an event that started before then. I was not pleased to arrive and still have to wait for a human to get a key for me, after having paid extra, and then finding that he was letting others check in just a few minutes later (still an hour early) without charging them $35. It’s a nice old hotel that looks like it used to be quite grand many years ago, but now it gives off a creepy Overlook Hotel (The Shining) vibe, especially with no people around. Needless to say, I don’t plan to return. At least I made it out alive.

More reasonable price than most places to stay in Lake Placid (considering all i was looking for is a placeto sleep and shower). Comfortable bed, clean room and bathroom, comfortable (sun heated rooms to point i needed to open the window to cool it down. It's an older building needing some attention, but is acceptable for a place to crash.

As a fan of historical and eclectic places, I liked the Pines Inn a lot. There is a lot to look and the place has a whimsical vibe. If you expect luxury, this place is not for you. If you have mobility issues, this place is not for you. We visited in the winter. The parking was ample and the location is central to LP. In walking distance to several coffee shops and eateries. We also appreciated the pet friendly environment. I would go back again, the rates are fair and we prefer indulging on eateries rather than have a 5* hotel.

LOWER THAN ONE STAR

No elevator only stairs and a lot of them. No handicap access. No one at the desk. No help from management, even by Phone. The first night we were awoken by water pouring into our room because of a broken fire system pipe (Not a Fire.). We were soaked as well as all our luggage. There was water flowing throughout the stairways and the ceiling. When we got to the lobby no one would speak to us. They were more concerned with the noise disturbing other customers and were only interested in getting the alarm to stop. We waited as long as we could for help but as it was the middle of February and we needed to get to a warm room and dry off, the fire department recommended a couple of places that may have a room. It was now one in the morning so with no help from management to be found we left and were lucky enough to find a room and began drying out at Two in the morning. The next day we returned to the pines to discuss things. They said we would be responsible for all charges because we left and they now had a room available. We were told we didn't canceled correctly. I told them our room with water pouring into it canceled not us. The manager said that's their policy. I said I wanted a full refund and as of yet neither the Pines nor the Booking company has refunded a dime. It’s crazy to involve an attorney but this management company is terrible so they give you no alternative.
