Good location but worst customer service
The location is ok because its closed to town However, there was no service and not even a single staff available on site in case you need anything not even front desk representative. There was no Iron/Steamer in our room and have called them multiple times and even after 5 calls and 2 hours wait I received the faulty Iron which was of no use that wasted alot of my time

The Pines Inn Lake Placid is a unique property. It is located near shopping and many restaurants. Parking is easy. Check in is simple and easy. The property could use some freshening up. It is just a basic hotel room located in a historical building. My room was adequate but the closet was unfinished. Loose ceramic tile on bathroom floor. Bottom of shower curtain was black mold. Sink and shower have drainage problems. I found someone else’s hair in the shower and dead spider above bathroom door frame that someone killed and just left the dead carcass there. I only stayed 2 nights but I’d say overall the stay was ok. I needed ice but there was no ice machine. There is also no working elevator but I was advised of the elevator situation. I would stay here again but I would bring my own cleaning supplies. Bedding and towels were clean.

Very old and out dated. Pipe running through ceiling corner of room. Burnt full iron mark on rug. Hole in the comforter. Windows did not lock. Pillows thin like paper.The picture on Expedia is photoshopped to make the building look newer and vibrant than it really is now.

We love the hotel, very peaceful, excellent outdoors space, access to lake placid, gorgeous view, and very quiet. The pool is amazing, the rooms are clean and newly renovated. Best TV , prime, Disney. One negative is that the paddle boats fins were broken, so were the seats on the kayaks. I hope the hotel updates/ maintains equipment. The canoe has both center seats broken. My daughter looked forward to going on the water and she did not, we had to rent a paddle boat in town. Other than that everything was perfect.

Virtual check in
If a hotel check in is virtual than the systems have to be reliable. My check in was not. At 4, check in time, the lobby was packed with people waiting for check in but no keys. Fortunately, a staff member jumped in and took care of it.

The toilet in the room we were given, Room 104, is broken; it wobbles in its place over an inch in height when any weight is put on it. It was inexcusable.

The shower curtain was very dirty in the bathroom, even though the rest of the room seemed pretty clean. Also, the TV was very complicated and the instruction sheet was not very clear. We were grateful, however, for the willingness of the staff member to come to our room and show us how to operate it.

We enjoyed the vintage feel of The Pines Inn, however, our TV didn't work. We appreciated a staff member coming up to try to resolve the issue , but she wasn't able to. The wifi was also very spotty. And finally, while the room seemed fairly clean, the shower curtain in the bathroom was filthy with mold and stains. That was very disappointing.

I didn’t enjoy my room
It’s an old hotel and I understand the historic value. I tried to enjoy the nice antique living room-like hotel-front and walking around the nice near-lake walk. But I could not enjoy my room: the curtain was too old and too thin to cover the window, the floor above me was noisy at every step upstairs (it felt like it was bouncing and you can imagine how noisy that could be at bedtime), the peeling wall paper was a mess. I’d like to support unique hotels but this hotel was hard to appreciate and to get comfortable. Perhaps I should not complain because it was one of the lowest rates?
