This traditional style hotel offers a comfortable and elegant lodging experience, moments away from New York States most famous lake, Lake Placid. Also home of the 1980 Winter Olympic Games.
It is evident from the outset that this is a family run hotel, where time is taken to treat guests as individuals. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and keen to assist in making your visit as memorable as possible. Rooms are comfortable with beautiful lake and mountain views. There is a strong emphasis on keeping food local. This reflects well on the quality of food served throughout the hotel.
The hotel is a short stroll around the lake to the village of Lake Placid which has many quaint shops and boutiques. However, a 10 minute car ride away you will find peace and solitude in the Adirondack Region's six-million-acres of wild forests and towering mountains. A nature lovers paradise!
My husband and I have been to Lake Placid a couple of times and enjoyed it on both occasions. This was the first time we went during low season and it was a great time to visit. All we wanted was a relaxing time without rush, stress or timetables – and we accomplished that easily! It was easy to find
Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa and checking in was simple and convenient. Our room was just as we have come to expect from SLH (and with a nice cheese tray from management!), so we could start to relax immediately upon arrival.
It felt as though we were in a large family house with attention when we needed it, but not otherwise. In other words, this hotel makes their guests feel like family. Although there could have been more attention paid to us in some instances, attention was never over the top or phony nor was it ever off-handed.
There were always plenty of home baked cookies at the front desk, coffee and tea all day long, afternoon tea service in the main lounge, and two nice restaurants to choose for dinner. The bistro was relaxing and comfortable and has a nice variety of bistro meals, all very good. Breakfasts were filling, leisurely, and got us off to a great start of day. Dinner in The View was welcoming, comfortable and relaxing. We especially liked that the meal service was prompt so we could have a 3-course meal in less than two hours. More than that we find too long to sit at a table – especially after a day of spa services!
All in all, our stay was a pleasure and very relaxing as we hoped it would be.
