The weekend turned out to be exactly what we needed—it gave us the chance to unplug, recharge, and truly rest. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and just lovely throughout our stay. The level of service we received far exceeded what you’d typically expect from a chain hotel. We were very pleased with every aspect of our experience and are so grateful for the care and attention that made our time there feel so special. ##### Jude Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### J Daniel Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities The property is in the middle of nowhere. Not convenient to anything close like restaurants or shopping. They were very short staffed. Little things, like the tv not working, breakfast starting 20 minutes late, restaurant out of chicken dishes, food (except the brownie sundae) was ok at best. Would not stay there again. Very expensive for a marginal experience. And don’t let Friends Lake Inn make you think it is on the water. You can just barely see a lake from second story. ##### J Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Keri A. Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities This hotel is beautiful, old style Adirondacks with cute rooms and great dining. While it is charming, the bed at least in the room I had was a springboard type of mattress you’d find at a koa camp. For the price to stay there I was shocked with it being one of the most uncomfortable sleeps I’ve gotten at any hotel and I travel a lot. Beds are an important piece to me. Aside from the super uncomfortable bed, the place was really nice. They didn’t skip on any Adirondack decor, the food for dinner and breakfast were superb and the people working there from the front desk, wait staff, and bar tender were top notch excellent. The bathroom and items they supplied were phenomenal as well. But truthfully as ideal of a cozy all Adirondack charming place as this is, I won’t return unless they upgrade their mattresses. If they do then I’d be back in a heartbeat! ##### Keri A.

Place is like a ghost town, front desk always vacant with lights off.very dark, poor lighting on stairs. There is no customer service, no information about what place has to offer. Restaurant-No chicken entree available at restaurant, no tap beer, only decaf tea at breakfast, toaster over was very dirty. No fruit, yogurt, only plain bagel and english muffin, no variety. Minimal staff, ice not readily available. ##### JOYCE Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vera Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We stayed at Friends Lake Inn hoping for a relaxing getaway, but this visit was very disappointing. Upon arrival, the hotel was completely empty — no staff at the front desk, no note or key left for us, and no response to calls or texts. After waiting, we had no choice but to find and check ourselves into an unoccupied room. Additionally, none of the usual amenities were available: the restaurant and bar were not operating. The next morning, a staff member admitted they had “forgotten” to leave a note, but no compensation or effort to make things right was offered. For a hotel charging this rate, this level of service is unacceptable. What was supposed to be a relaxing getaway turned into a stressful experience. ##### Vera Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shawn Oct 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Breakfast was supposed to be included. They changed without telling us in advance that it was Continental this week. ##### Shawn Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sung-Hee Apr 19, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities I only saw staff on the day I arrived and the day I left. There was no staff around while I was there. They didn’t tell me that there wasn’t any staff available or that there would only be “continental breakfast”. I was depending on the restaurant being open during my stay but I learned that the restaurant was closed when I went down to try and get some dinner. I had wanted to cut my stay there short but no one was there. When I told the front desk of my disappointment, all she said was “I’m sorry” and didn’t really try to make amends. This place had wonderful memories for me. I returned to this inn after a very long ##### Sung-Hee Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Syracuse](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Syracuse.h8393.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirbeau Inn and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Mirbeau-Inn-And-Spa.h9801866.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Goshen Middletown](https://www.expedia.ca/Newburgh-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Goshen-Middletown.h1214332.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Middletown Goshen](https://www.expedia.ca/Newburgh-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Middletown-Goshen.h921424.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Lake Campground](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Duck-Lake-Campground.h12599916.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Syracuse-Carrier Circle](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Carrier-Circle.h6554.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Grand Island - Niagara Falls by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Grand-Island-Niagara-Falls.h18567279.Hotel-Information) > > [Cicero Grand - Syracuse North](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Comfort-Suites-Cicero-Syracuse-North.h2658702.Hotel-Information) > > [Garnet Hill Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Garnet-Hill-Lodge.h6135844.Hotel-Information) > > [Peek N' Peak Resort, Ski-in/Ski-out, on golf course, Clymer, NY Ski Birdie Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Jamestown-Hotels-Peek-N-Peak-Resort.h44384863.Hotel-Information) > > [The Alpine Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-The-Alpine-Lodge.h5179323.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Canandaigua, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Rochester-Hotels-Hotel-Canandaigua.h50896866.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinecrest Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Pinecrest-Motel.h1554572.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Concord Syracuse, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/East-Syracuse-Hotels-Hotel-Concord-Syracuse.h7394.Hotel-Information) > > [Tarrytown House Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/White-Plains-Hotels-Tarrytown-House-Estate-On-The-Hudson.h49674.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Lake George (Queensbury), NY](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1503683.Hotel-Information) > > [Laurel Lake Placid](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-Lake-Placid-Summit-Hotel-Resort-And-Suites.h27690.Hotel-Information) > > [41 Lakefront Hotel, Trademark Collection By Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Geneva-Hotels-Ramada-Plaza-By-Wyndham-Geneva-Lakefront-Resort.h60711.Hotel-Information) > > [Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Niagara-Crossing-Hotel-Spa.h11603917.Hotel-Information) > > [Cozy Geo-Dome with Heat/AC on Private Hiking paradise in Gunks.](https://www.expedia.ca/Wallkill-Hotels-Geodesic-Dome-On-A-Beautiful-Private-Ravine.h60365557.Hotel-Information) > > [Extended Stay America Suites White Plains Elmsford](https://www.expedia.ca/White-Plains-Hotels-Extended-Stay-America-Suites-White-Plains-Elmsford.h573804.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Glenmont - Albany South](https://www.expedia.ca/Albany-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Glenmont-Albany-South.h11858.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Syracuse North Airport Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Syracuse-North-Airport-Area.h25930.Hotel-Information) > > [Cresthill Suites Syracuse](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Cresthill-Suites-Syracuse.h802925.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Syracuse Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Syracuse-Airport.h1680344.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Peek'n Peak Resort Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Jamestown-Hotels-Peekn-Peak-Resort-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h5261672.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information)
