We had a wonderful 2 night stay here in Saranac Lake to enjoy the rail trail with our bicycles. The hotel was clean, convenient and comfortable and served a free adequate breakfast with fresh fruit and hot eggs. The staff were pleasant and comfortable. The rail trail goes from Lake Placcid to Clear Lake with beautiful views. Saranac Lake is in the middle.

Unfortunately this hotel has seen better days. It is in rough shape and definitely needs to be spruced up. When we arrived it smelled of urine in the hall. Perhaps from a dog accident. It did get cleaned up during our stay, but that was very off putting. The front desk folk were nice and welcoming and we have no complaints about the service. This place definitely needs to be updated though
