We decided to try the Northwoods Inn as a last minute overnight. I am ashamed to admit my hasty decision went without checking reviews prior to booking. Well, lesson learned, this hotel was a very poor decision. The rooms are horribly in need of updating, are filthy, and are not at all as they appear in the photos online. The... More

I don't normally write negative reviews however I felt it was necessary this one time. I recently visited the gorgeous Olympic village of lake Placid, New York. The town and the people are truly amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't do my homework on this trip as it was for business and I left the hotel booking to someone else. Had I... More

We spent Friday night through Sunday at this hotel. We found the staff to be extremely courteous and tried to meet all of our needs. Room pros: Foam mattresses that were very comfortable. Nice little kitchenette, but no drinking glasses. Great View of Mirror Lake. Room cons: Bedding was old and rather used, needs to be updated. No washcloths or... More

I was there for a weekend and the hotel staff was exceptionally courteous, the room was clean and well maintained, had an amazing view over Mirror Lake, very reasonably priced, and made every request easily completed. It is by far and away the one place I try to go to for accommodations when I go to Lake Placid every year.... More

My family and I visited the Northwoods Inn over February break. It was a great spot right in the center of town. The hotel just opened a new restaurant which was great foru lids and the room even had a little kitchen. The staff was great. We will definitely be back. More

After reading the reviews, we expected the hotel to be a dump. it really wasn't too bad. It's in need of a facelift but the beds are comfortable and the staff is nice. We had a room with a balcony which was nice. You can't beat the location. More

We recently stayed here for three nights attending the Empire State games. We had a Queen suite with a lake view. Because we were on the top floor, we did have a very nice view of the lake. However, I can understand that - IF they say the lower floors on this side of the hotel are also "lake views"... More

We were in Lake Placid this past weekend - very pleased with our stay. The Northwoods is a unique old hotel in the center of the village. Great location - had a "suite" with a view of Mirror Lake and a kitchenette. We've stayed here several times - always found the staff to be friendly and helpful, and you can't... More

Extremely unpleasant experience and horrendous service!!! When booking we were told the Executive Suite was "the best" room in the hotel. It had a lake view and could accomodate a family of five. We were also told the room had a microwave and fridge. What a joke! The first room we were put in had no linens whatsoever. Our view... More
