非常失望。希望平台或者相关行业协会可以约束酒店尽快整改，这个空调不仅仅是我和女儿住的房间才有的，大概率其他房间也是不合规安装。
Pros:

我们从加拿大多伦多自驾到美国，这里是我们停留的第一个地点。本次住宿的位置还是不错的，不难找，停车也是方便的。

Cons:

这个酒店最大的问题是安全性严重缺失，酒店的窗户上安装的空调没有做任何的固定，只是用上下推拉的窗户夹住，导致我在开关窗户的时候空调机直接跌落，非常危险，险些被砸伤。酒店居然会有如此不符合安全规范的安装，我对摔下来之后的空调机进行了整个检查，没有找到有任何固定装置的痕迹。而且在事发后酒店无法做出任何响应，事后也没有任何答复和处理，非常令人失望。这样的酒店应该无法通过相关行业或地方管理机构的安全检查，完全不建议放置到三方平台上销售，尤其对于带儿童的家庭，非常不可靠，严重不推荐。

Pros:

This is the second time I have stayed here. The location in the heart of Saranac Lake is wonderful base for countless outdoor activities we enjoy such as hiking and kayaking. It is walkable to stores and restaurants. The rooms are clean and neat, the Adirondack style signs for the rooms named after the mountains and saranac.lake area attractions are charming. It is nice to be on lake flower with ability to launch kayak from there. The staff ane kind and helpful. But the best part is the beds! The beds and the bedding are so comfortable and wonderful to sink into after a day of hiking. This hotel is a great value !

It was good and central to downtown and other areas.
Pros:

The location was great amd the staff was terrific and helpful. The rate was more than competitiv I did think we were going to have a microwave and fridge which we did not.

Cons:

Our specific room #54 was a little close to the road and we had lots of traffic noise. The bathroom floor corners were pretty dirty and dusty. The shower was great, plenty of hot water but you should know that literally half the water went straight down the drain because the pull up valve didn’t work property. It was wasting ALOT of water. I’d check it out.
