My husband and I stayed at the Golden Arrow in mid-February 2012. We got a very good value by booking a ski package - we used the "In-Season Midweek Package - Stay 2 nights & get the 3rd free" (advertised on their website). The only downside of using the package was that they would absolutely not let us upgrade our... More

I'm not usually a fan of winter activities, but this place made me get into all of that. I travelled with my husband and a few of my girlfriends over MLK, Jr. holiday weekend. Let me start with the view from the room--it is absolutely breathtaking! We stayed at the topmost floor in the room with a Skylight and fireplace--very... More

The Golden Arrow continues to be our favorite hotel in our travels. We have traveled in many states and no where compares with the excellent service and down to earth home like experience that you have while staying at this resort. This resort used to be a Best Western and decided to break away. I know of no other resort... More

We have been staying at the now family-owned Golden Arrow on relaxing weekend getaways for years, beginning way back when it was affiliated with the Best Western chain. Its central location means that after driving through the Adirondacks we can leave the car in their parking lot or covered garage and walk wherever we want to go – Olympic skating... More

We come here every year for a week of xcross country skiing with a group of 30 people. They handled our accomodations very efficiently and always with a smile. Would not stay anyplace else when in Lake Placid! More

Dear Rick, Thank you for your review! It is truly a pleasure to have return guests such as yourself become apart of our Golden Arrow family. We agree that Whiteface is the best Mountain in the East, and there is a winter storm warning for this evening! Thanks again from all of us here at the GALR! More

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at the Golden Arrow this past weekend and we found it quite charming. We stayed in a specialty suite and it was lovely! Of course the view was spectacular, but the bedding was pretty and comfortable and we had no issues with the HVAC or mini-fridge. We really liked having a... More

My daughter and I stayed here for a skating trip. We stayed in one of the suits, which appeared to be much nicer than the standard room. On the plus side: nice room with light pine furniture, good soundproofing, attractive black out curtains that worked, working fireplace, overall very comfortable. We really appreciated their efforts at being "Green" and for... More

Dear Guest, I am happy to hear you enjoyed your room during your recent stay. It is true that the Hotel becomes very busy with families of Hockey teams this time of year, which is why our desk staff has at a minimum 2-3 people working all day long. I am so glad to hear you appreciated our "green" efforts.... More

The best thing about this hotel is the location, right on the lake and in town, close to shops and restaurants.The ski hill is 9 miles away. This was probably a great hotel in 1980, when the Winter Olympics were held. Now it's dated, rooms have very old and noisy heaters/AC, old couches in the front desk area, old carpets.... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. As always, we appreciate your feedback, I have contacted our Housekeeping Manager, and they will be installing hair dryers in the pool area right away. The showers in the pool do have bulk soap and shampoo dispensers in them, so in regards to your comment, I am assuming they were out, and I... More

Our recent stay at the Golden Arrow Resort was a bit disappointing. We stayed for one night and were excited about the prospect of having so many amenities in one place. We found the beds in the room to be of extremely poor quality. The rooms were clean, but VERY uncomfortable to sleep in. The only place we tried was... More
