“clean, charming, good value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

I can't say I went with the greatest expectations but was pleasantly surprised. We stayed in the cottage with a fireplace and liked it very much. This is far from the 4-5 star resorts that we are used to, but for the price it is good value, and I liked the rustic charm. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. We were in Lake Placid with a large group for a hiking trip, and were supposed to stay next door but it sold out we ended up at the Prague. While next door was newer, I preferred the character of our cottage and the wood fireplace. Most evenings, people from the group ended up in our room sitting around the fire.

The main complaint for me was the towels, as others have stated, they are very scratchy, nicer towels would go a long way. Nice duvets for the bed would be an easy fix to provide a nice update to the room.

We didn't have a hair dryer in our room, and I didn't bring one as I had read other reviews that stated they had one. I did bring my own shampoo. We did get maid service and the fireplace was restocked with wood.

Overall we were quite happy, and would stay here again.

“Very disappointing!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

I booked a suite here after reading some glowing reviews. What a mistake! The pool shouldn't even be open - if there is a filtration system, it wasn't on. There was a ridiculous amount of gunk at the bottom, the cement around the edge was crumbling and the water was turning green. The large, overgrown bushes surrounding the door to our room were covered in spiders. The suite was very large, but sadly that was the only plus. The musty smell was overwhelming. There was a window that was off it's track and wouldn't close. The door lock was nothing more than a standard bathroom door lock you might have in your home. Definitely not a feeling of safety here! There were cobwebs in all window blinds. This place is severely neglected. We were so disappointed that we didn't finish our stay here and booked a much nicer (and less expensive!) room elsewhere.

Stayed August 2012, traveled with family

“Excellent value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 15, 2012

This motel ended up being an excellent value and a great size for the 5 of us in our family. We had a room on the second floor of one of the "Chalets" which had 2 Queen beds, a small kitchen, table with chairs, bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and a large balcony overlooking the swimming pool and river. Room is a bit dated but was clean, comfortable and large enough for 5 of us.
The proprietor, Charlie, was very friendly and welcoming.
Only thing that wasn't as advertised was the pool was not heated but the kids didn't really care!
I would definitely return to this motel.

“Much better than it looks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 24, 2012

Was doing a last minute search for a room for two nights for the Lake Placid Ironman and came upon an opening at the Prague. We jumped on it and we're glad we did. Yes, it's old and yes the office doesn't look too inviting BUT the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Everything worked. The pool was refreshing. The owner couldn't have been any nicer. What really made this perfect for us was the Prague is on both the bike and the run course and as a result we got to see our participant go out and back twice on the bike and out and back twice on the run. The owner told us to feel free to take the pool chairs to the front lawn to watch the event which we did. (and returned them when we were through) If you need granite countertops and a flat screen TV, this is not the place for you. If a clean and comfortable bed and bathroom and a very large living space (including full kitchen) are enough for you, give this place a try. One tiny shortcoming....bring your own shampoo. If we come back to Lake Placid for another Ironman, we'll definitely try to stay here.

“So happy we found this place.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 12, 2012

Wow. What a find. This is NOT a Hilton or Holiday Inn. it is a very reasonable- owner-lives here bunching of cottages and outbuildings. Our family of 5 enjoyed a spacious place with fireplace, full kitchen etc... Thank you to Charlie for the kind welcome, the firepit set up (he even left some nice long sticks when he heard we wanted to roast marshmallows!) It was very clean, wifi good. Had trouble with phones, but I think it was due to a storm. Very close to village. We would return in a heartbeat.
