Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa

Overall, the stay was wonderful. The room was spacious. the view to the lake and mountains was outstanding. The decorations were fabulous. The food in The View for breakfast and The Cottage for dinner was pretty good, although the buffet breakfast items were cold. Also, I couldn't use the buffet because there are a couple of stairs without a handrail to get from the seating area (I use a cane and need a handrail if I am carrying something.) The big problem was checking in. They have a sign for "registration" that leads to a door that is a floor down from the actual registration desk and on a narrow drive with signs that say, "no parking" and "don't block the drive" both of which people were doing when we arrived. My husband had to go in to discover that we were supposed to take the main drive up to the parking areas. They need to move the sign for registration to the correct location. Nigel in The View and the housekeeper for the third floor in the Terrace were exceptionally friendly. I couldn't take a shower because the safety bar for the tub was located on the left side of the faucet controls, not on the back wall like it usually is. My husband said the tub was slippery.

Very very high price for just a run down and old hotel.
The location is the only reason to stay. Place has a slightly strong smell of mold… especially by the indoor pool. The restaurant and staff act as if they are the finest place in France…which cracks me up. They could use some help in changing the crazy policy of reservations and needs help to lighting up the atmosphere. Just not that great.

Absolutely extraordinary. Highly recommend!

The main hotel is a beautiful property perched atop (not directly on) a hill overlooking Mirror Lake in the Lake Placid area. The actual site of Lake Placid is about a 5 min car ride away. Historic property with beautiful, if a bit outdated, lodge-y like decorations in a tasteful manner. Lobby fireplace is a big draw, with multiple seating options. Rooms are spacious with views facing the lake, comfy beds and a nice/large bathroom (ours in room 634 did not have a tub). Disappointed that there was not water or a coffee maker in the room, but otherwise v comfortable. Also, if you want reservations at the highly rated on site property, get them way in advance of your stay.

Hotel was great. Room had a great view. Service was excellent.

Very nice property; great views of the lake; very nice / friendly staff- except if you ask for a simple/routine late check out (from 11 a.m. to noon due to a scheduled appointment at their own spa that ended at 11 a.m.). The from desk will Not bend, will drag you through the mud, make you check back the next morning to get house keeping approval! I have Never experienced such inflexibility at ANY hotel in my entire life (not to mention at a $600 per night room). They finally got the approval after my insistence at the front desk at 8 a.m., but leaving me feel like I was totally unreasonable. It turned out that there were several rooms on our floor that were vacated early, and they had not even started cleaning them when we checked out at noon!!

Very nice. Excellent service.

Spacious room, comfortable bed, sun room gorgeous view of mirror lake elevator. Location

Loved it all! Charming property. We had a fabulous time.

Scenic Quiet Ambience.

Beautiful rooms and property. Convenient. Did not think the spa was worth the money.

Spectacular hotel with great amenities. The staff is absolutely outstanding! We will return.

Loved the view from our window definitely one of the best we’ve seen❤️😊 very posh with a Adirondack rustic decor
Staff were friendly, accommodating and VERY responsive.
Offered everything I could think of asking for

We loved our stay at mirror lake inn. Outstanding customer service. We loved the small beach and the kayak. Everything is just a short walk away and the spa is amazing.

Wonderful lobby abd extra activities both inside and out such as smores around the firepit. Nice staff.

The grounds are absolutely beautiful. Easy walk to town. Easy access to Mirror lake.

It's an iconic and special place on Mirror Lake. Pool and lake areas are lovely. Staff was professional and pleasant. Room was good sized with leather chair seating area looking out at lake. The entire property is Adirondack charming but musty and a bit tired. Room thermostat was not digital and looked to be from the 80s. Enjoyed our stay but can't justify the the cost of $750 per night all in.

Everyone was very accommodating and exceptionally friendly. Definitely enjoyed our stay and will be back for sure.

Quaint New England feel that you will not get with modern chain hotels. Plenty of amenities and very accommodating and friendly staff. They will catch the next elevator or walk the stairs even if you let them know its ok to share the elevator.
Only difficult part was walking the hill to our room after having one too many. Very walkable to all the restaurants and pubs.

This is likely one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at in my life. We are definitely going back there anytime we are in the Lake Placid area.
