Gauthier's Saranac Lake Inn

Gauthier's Saranac Lake Inn

8/10 Good
"Lake view was amazing! They have kayaks there on site to use, no charge ! My daughter-in-law & granddaughter used one and loved it being out there on the lake! Our room was a room that you expect when you are in the mountains, it was like a cabin, beds , bathroom , we had air conditioning and heat , gets chilly at night lol…. Staff was on site and Lobby was open to check in, not sure why all the bad reviews … when your up in Lake Placid all you need is the room to sleep there was so much to do ! If your looking for luxury go somewhere else if your looking to experience a real feeling of being in the mountains this is the place!"
