The Pines Inn

The long history of it in Lake Placid. The TV didn’t work though. Really good restaurant in the hotel.

Unmanned front desk. It would be helpful if someone worked the front desk. There is a keurig coffee machine in lobby. There should be someone to fill or have instructions as to where to get water. Bed was very uncomfortable memory foam. Shower was tiny. Overall, hotel is dated but clean.

I understand value, but the lower price for this room is not worth it. The hotel room was smaller than my high school bedroom. The bed was jammed against the window and the locking latches on both windows were broken so 13 degree air poured through the window onto our heads because the bed was jammed against the window. The carpet was disgusting, a spot so big, I thought a woman gave birth on the floor. The 20inch TV was ontop of a broken antique wardrobe dresser in the far corner of the room. No cable or sat TV, so no local channels. They had a ROKU they claimed to have live Hulu, but that isn't true. When you accessed Hulu, it wanted a password. The only thing that worked was Pluto TV. The room was so cold, my wife added my full length winter coat to stay warm. There is no human on the property, and the much ballyhooed restaurant was closed on Saturday with a pink sticky that was writted in a Sharpie "sorry closed :)" yes, they drew the imogee. The coat hanging rod was blocked by a 60's era end table, and a thrift store lamp, so you couldn't get to the closet space without moving the table until it hit the bed. The entire place is decorated with estate sale leftovers. No elevator and a 5 floor walkup for those on upper floors, all guests walked by my room on the 1st floor until around midnight. This hotel isn't even adequate enough to be used as college housing. There are many places that are value hotels in Lake Placid, I thought I would give this place a try. Never again.

An old hotel that looks great from the lobby but ends there. So many issues, starting with check in at 4pm done remote so no contact, then room was not cleaned so needed housekeeping needed to go fund me a clean room, the hotel appeared empty. The room, small, bed uncomfortable, shortage of elecrric outlets, tv did not work, only heat from constant humming electric floorboard heater. Rang front desk twice no answer. Only one night, and will be my last. Dealing with knee replacement, no elevator, just narrow creaky stairs. The best part was the lobby sitting room, other tham that, nothing to recommend here

The Pines is an old hotel and the owners are trying to bring it back to life. The bathroom was completely redone but without ventilation, except a window. No blinds on the bedroom windows and a repaired ceiling crack over the bed. No working elevator. For the price, it is good and hopefully they will be able to get enough bookings to restore more of the rooms.

This is a great place to stay for the price. It was clean, simple and easy. Maybe a little outdated and worn in someplaces, but I would definitely stay here again.

We were in a room next to the stairs and it was extremely noisy. We were unable to sleep at all. The property had peeling wall paper, holes in the walls and stains on the carpet. I have no idea why there were so many five star reviews.

It was nice. Nice old place. Never got to eat at the diner.the diner opens at 11 and closes at 9 we were site seeing . Close enough to walk to town

Nice shabby shick. Its dated but the new owners are doing a good job renovating it little by little. I like their vision. A restaurant on the premises is a must.
