We stayed in the Mallard Cottage which was amazing. The cottage has the best view from the porch. We highly recommend staying here and next time we come to lake placid this is exactly where we are going to stay! We felt right at home!!! More

We ended up staying at the Placid Bay Inn because the Comfort Inn was full ( weeks in advance ) but they highly recommended the Placid Bay Inn. Now I would like to highly recommend this gem to others~ it was a pleasure to stay there. We were visiting Paul Smith College ( about a half hour drive but VERY... More

We stayed at the Placid Bay Inn "on Lake Placid" in early March, while visiting Paul Smith's College. We wanted to stay in a small, family run spot with some character! The Placid Bay Inn was wonderful and Tyra was a great host! The room was spotless, nicely furnished/decorated, inviting and had a beautiful view of the bay and mountains.... More

The Placid Bay Inn was a lovely, peaceful Inn! I go to Lake Placid every year for my son's hockey tournament and usually stay in the bigger hotels. This time I decided to stay out of the big and noisy hotels and opted for a quieter stay while my son stayed in town with his team. Best idea ever!! Besides... More

We were treated very well by the owner of the Inn. I had surgery up there Friday morning, and she had a room ready for us at noon which was 3 hours early at no extra charge. We got a nice deal on a queen room with early check in, and we will be back this summer. Real close to... More

Spent 3 nights there with my family during 2012 New Year's Eve. A fairly reasonable price, and a very, and I mean VERY, clean little lakeside motel in the heart of Lake Placid. I am trying to remember any negatives, perhaps they need to increase the wireless speed and add a sofa in the room :) ...that is it. The... More
