High Peaks Resort

"Last month, we found ourselves at a hotel across the street from the High Peaks Resort, looking over at the beautiful waterfall out front, and we couldn’t help but think, “Wow, we wish we’d booked there!” We are so happy that we did. The staff is friendly, and the lobby is so welcoming. There are flowers everywhere outside. The courtyard by the pool area is so cozy and beautiful. Parking was so easy, and we loved that it was gated with plenty of spots. We stayed in a two queen room with a mountain view at the resort, and it was absolutely beautiful. The rooms are spacious, and you can easily step outside to enjoy the lake or Main Street, which is close to all the shops and restaurants. One thing to note is that the shower could use a thorough cleaning, and an exhaust fan would help, but it’s nothing that would deter you from using it. High Peaks Resort will definitely be our first choice for a hotel whenever we visit Lake Placid."

"Great view from the premier double queen room in the main building. Everything was comfortable and spacious, though our bathroom door did not latch. The outdoor pool area at the main building was lovely. It was a pricey weekend but to be expected in most hotels in LP in the summer."

"First, the evening manager Trace is amazing and really turned a disappointing situation and trip into a great one. Some hotels write and ask for feedback and insincere but he went far above to make sure we enjoyed our trip. We were expecting the kayaks to be open but they weren't for a few days and then rain expected so yesterday he opened it for us and many other guests enjoyed it too! He was also very quick to address some initial problems. The hotel has mixed reviews. I'll say the main building and beach house are excellent, great rooms, and very nice. The lake house is the iffy spot,smy of the reviews don't specify but if you are in the main or beach house you'll definitely like the rooms and the indoor pool in the main hotel is substantially nicer. All guests have access to all pools but definitely use the main hotel indoor one if want the nicest. The location and views are great, the service is excellent and if any problems let them know, Trace and the staff definitely want all guests to enjoy their visit. The evening cookies in the hotel are a nice extra and the espresso coffee machines in the room are great. The only thing I wish they had were smart tvs to use your own streaming services."
