Expensive for what it is. Need a refresh to bring it to the 21st century. Yucky bathroom/shower and mattress is the same one from 1975. Convenient if you need access to Saranac though. Quiet and safe location.

This is in a great are, close to everything. When staying there you feel like you’re not in town viewing the beautiful lake. They offer canoes and kayaks. It’s right across from a marina A great Mexican restaurant right across the street with a liquor store next-door, very convenient. The room was small, but sufficient for two people. The bed was comfortable. I would add shelving in the bathroom. Need more space for toiletries. The mornings were quiet and beautiful when the sun came up, lighting the mountains in the background. It was great for a weekend stay. Will come back.

absolutely gorgeous spot at the end of flower lake. We were happily surprised to see that kayaks and paddle boards were available and free for use on the lake. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Give us great guidance on where to hike and eat and familiarize us with the area.

Overall moderate stay at the property. Hotel seems to be old, rooms are of good size, but we faced problems with door locks, room lighting and AC. Some common places were not cleaned properly too. There is no restaurant at the hotel but there are others within 1-2 miles. You can order food at the hotel too. Staff seems to be less too, mostly we preferred DIY for anything needed. Hotel is situated at the lake side so, you can avail the kayak and small boats for free.

This unexpectedly turned into a solo trip for me, I was really nervous, it was my first solo trip and as a female it can be scary. But I felt safe there, I could enjoy my time, my room was so nice and perfect, it was everything I needed. The kayaks were super convenient to put in and take out if the water. The man at the front desk was so nice, and I will absolutely be back and recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

Needs more work
I really wanted to like this place. I’m fine with retro vibe until it goes south. Location-great! Right on the water, and we took a canoe out for a two hour paddle. Killer sunsets. Life jackets- not safe, old and broken. Room: please remove the following in room 33: moldy shower curtain, chipped drinking glass, sinking old chairs that have my chin right at the level of the table. Also, you’re not eco friendly if you have single use soaps and shampoos. Please go to a flea market and find a shelf for the bathroom, and seating for more than two people if you have a room that can accommodate four. I’ve stayed in other retro hotels (see Bend, OR) and they know what to keep and what to replace.
