Right off the bat, we arrived late so the owners had already turned in for the night(family owned and run). But they told us which room was ours and they left the door unlocked and the lights on inside. A nice homey touch that made getting settled in quick and easy after a tiring drive. The room was great, even... more

The motel is family run. It has a very convenient location. Walking distance from the center of the village of Saranac lake and along the route to Lake Placid, Route 87. Lake Flower is just across the street offering a place to put a canoe in the water and a nice view of the mountains. The room I was given... more

We chose this hotel after reading the websites and reviews; especially for their policy allowing dogs. The owners have been absolutely wonderful and friendly, going to great lengths to make our stay confortable. The rooms are simple and rustic but clean and well-kept. Edie and Joe were wondeful to our dog and went to extra lengths to make us feel... more

There were not a lot of places to consider when we were planning our trip to the adirondacks. Many hotels were booked for events in town. anyway, after emailing I was asked to confirm booking over the phone which I did but dealt with a very abrupt manager. When we arrived we found the rooms clean but tired and dingy.... more

It's the second time I have stayed at Joe and Edie's little motel in Saranac Lake. Both times I have come through the area on motorcycle, once with a friend and this trip with my wife. If you are looking for clean, simple and well-priced accomodation - all operated by a very delightful and fun-loving husband and wife team (dog... more

We spent three days in Saranac Lake with our kids (14, 13 and 11) last week. This was a bit of a special trip for me in particular, as I had not returned to my hometown in 12 years. We found Amanda's Village Motel to be very clean, comfortable and conveniently located, with much more personality than any big name... more

I stayed at Amanda’s Village Motel on April19 – April 21, 2007, while in the Lake Placid area for business and a little relaxation. I was looking for a traditional Adirondack motel that was small, quaint, clean and had reasonable rates. After reading the reviews on TripAdvisor, I decided to stay at Amanda’s Village Motel. It was everything I was... more

Our family was planning a get together for Easter and Saranac Lake was the favorite spot. We didn't want a big, busy hotel so we went on-line and Amanda's Village Motel came up. We booked our rooms and off we all went. The hosts, Joe & Edie Stanish, could not have been more accommodating. They even went out of their... more

Spend 2 days at Amanda's. The accomodation was very clean, had cable TV, telephone, and great comfy bed. Decoration was a little 80's but it is a very great value. Will stay again - affordable place compared to lake placid $$$ hotels and inn. Thanks joe and eddie! :) more

In May 2005, my Wife and I along with our dog "Dink" spent the two days in beautiful, snow covered, Saranac Lake. We consider ourselves very lucky to find a motel, Amanda's, that would except pets. When we checked in at the motel office both of the motel owners warmly greeted us and gave Dink a special dog biscuit treat.... more
