The hotel is old Adirondack style and we loved it. The wood accents are beautifully polished, there are charming old skiing memorabilia, & fun old pictures. The main house is cozy and warm and my husband loved the complimentary front desk cookies while I loved the free coffee and tea. Each room has a beautiful flower box and flowers line the entrance driveway. WiFi is not a secure network (no password) which was a bit unusual. USB plugs in the rooms. We found our room immaculate and the bed comfy (we are picky about mattresses). The walk around Mirror Lake is right outside the hotel. Main Street shops are a 2 minute walk away. So much to do in Lake Placid (take a Legacy Tour at the Olympic Museum and hike, hike, hike!). Lovely long weekend at the Mirror Lake Inn!

One of my favorite hotels in one of the most beautiful settings! We planned a family reunion for 50+ people of all ages (infant to senior), from all over the country and the Mirror Lake Inn team provided an unforgettable and seamless weekend. Stephanie Lange worked tirelessly for months in advance to make sure that everyone was perfect. She helped with arrival, dining, room reservations, activities, etc. We couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommend Stephanie and the Mirror Lake Inn for any vacation or special event planning needs!!!

Amazing Adirondack hotel. The lobby itself is even beautiful. Our room was spacious and had a great view ! The spa was incredible and the location is amazing with just a short walk Into town. We cut up some cheese and fruit and took a bottle of wine and sat out on the Adirondack chairs that they have on the dock. We stayed until the sun set and then were treated to a beautiful meteor shower. To this day we still say that was one of the most amazing nights. The inn is definitely pricey but you get what you pay for, it's a beautiful place and you will have a great time !

The staff at this hotel are very polite and attentive. We loved the atmosphere of the hotel. The rooms are generally clean, and the bathrooms are new. The pool and spa areas looked quite hygienic. Perhaps if they replaced the carpets in the corridors and rooms, this hotel could become truly perfect. Thank you for everything. We will definitely come back.

Very nice hotel, very Adirondack style (may seem dated a bit but suits the local). We had a room in the Mountain View building overlooking the lake, good privacy. Nice little sitting area. Good water pressure and nice hot water! Breakfast buffet on weekend was a bit of a zoo (try and avoid between 830-930), much more calm ala cart on weekdays. Had dinner at the View Restaurant, which was nice if a bit expensive but I think good for area. Staff very courteous and helpful. The library on the main floor very comfortable with nice fireplace. Would definitely stay here again if visiting Lake Placid

One of the best hotels I would love to come back for sure. It's old-fashioned (of course, this inn has a long history) - feeling like I am inside of the Christmas old movie! Sparkling clean, and everything was on another level. I can definitely see how this inn could be one of the prestigious "small luxury hotels."

We had a wonderful stay at the Mirror Lake Inn. The service was excellent from start to finish—every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our room was cozy, clean, and incredibly comfortable, creating the perfect spot to relax after a long day. And the views… absolutely outstanding. Waking up to the lake and mountains felt magical. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, great service, and a beautiful escape.
