Stayed here again for another hockey tourney. Best location in town. Good food. Good parking. Rooms are large for lots of sports stuff like hockey equipment. I left $5 on the bed for the housekeeper, but since it was not in the envelope - they didn't keep it. How's that for safe place to stay? Always stay here.

I've stayed at Golden Arrow for years and usually have a pleasant stay. The rooms are clean and up to date. The location is super convenient, right on Main St in Lake Placid - within walking distance from tons of restaurants and local attractions. My hubby and I especially love the Haystack suite with fireplace, in room jacuzzi, lakeside view.... More

We stayed here recently and we loved our view. This place is right on the lake. Our room was very comfortable. We had to stay at another hotel for a conference (Crown Plaza), but we were happy that we moved here for our last night at Lake Placid. It is not easy to know about a place by the outside... More

We spent two wonderful nights at the Golden Arrow Resort. The hotel is right in the middle of Lake Placid but was peaceful. Our room overlooked Mirror Lake. The room was beautiful, bed was ultra comfortable. Clean and inviting. We dined at the Generations Restaurant and had a wonderful meal. The pool and hot tub was clean and we spent... More

We stayed at the Golden Arrow for our anniversary in April. Nice, quiet time to visit Lake Placid, but not all businesses were open yet. Not luxurious, but functional and better than average, for sure. Room rates during his time were excellent, not sure if they increase depending on the season or not. Pros: Excellent location near shops and restaurants,... More

We just finished our weekend stay at Golden Arrow and we didn't want to leave. The room was very clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The view of Mirror Lake off the balcony was amazing. Listening to a Loon singing while enjoying coffee this morning was a real treat! We'll definitely be back for another... More

We loved our stay at the Golden Arrow. The hotel has everything--incliding a raquetball court and very friendly staff. Very clean property. Looking forward to our next trip! The places we choose to eat and drink were all very good, also with friendly "natives". This town knows how to treat it's guests.

This hotel is right on the main street close to all the shops and attractions. We booked a lakeview room which opened out right to the beach making it two levels below the lobby.
