Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This lodging has very variable rates, and I was able to book a King room for $120/night over the weekend before xmas. For that very reasonable rate we had a huge room (no. 9), with parking right outside. Not all the rooms have parking right outside. A couple great things about this room is that it's behind the main hotel, and you don't hear any traffic noise at all. Another great thing is that the fridge is in the bathroom. One may think that a fridge in the bathroom is odd, but it is great because you can close the bathroom door and you don't hear the fridge at all while you're trying to sleep. However, you do hear clunking from upstairs when the guests are walking around. That wasn't a problem, since there was no clunking during sleeping hours. At no time did we hear any talking from rooms beside or above us. I had read that the breakfast wasn't great, so I brought our own breakfast food, but in the lobby you can get hot water and tea, or coffee, anytime. The breakfast was mainly sweet stuff: donuts, muffins, packaged waffles, boxes of sugary cereal, sweet yogurt. They did have multigrain bread and a toaster, with jam and butter on offer, as well as a kind of breakfast sandwich in a croissant, but not the type of croissant that you will find at a French bakery. Front desk staff was very pleasant. The location is perfect, just a couple minute walk to the main stretch of "downtown" Lake Placid. We went skating at the outdoor oval 2 evenings that we were there, which was fun and a 5 minute walk from the Devlin.

I’ve stayed here a few times and this place never disappoints. It’s so cozy, the rooms are really big, and so are the bathrooms. The rooms are also immaculate. The views of the mountains are spectacular. I will never stay anywhere else. The staff is nice too.

I had heard the Devlin was a little outdated but also knew that there were new owners so I thought we would give it a shot. Unbelievable customer service and the room was amazing. Huge bathroom with a walk in shower that was possibly bigger than the rest of the bathroom. Sliding glass door out to a small deck with unbelievable views. Didn't use the pool but even in October it looked pristine. Two big, comfortable recliners that there was plenty of room for next to one of the most comfortable king beds I've ever slept in. Nothing was outdated whatsoever, just redone to preserve the Devlin name. **Note** When you want to sleep in make sure you put the Do Not Disturb tag out facing the right way. I had it flipped around and they start cleaning the rooms early. My bad!

The hotel has everything you need for a comfortable stay while touring the olympic sites. The bathroom was remodeled beautifully and the room was clean and spacious. I slept well in the queen bed that was soft and yet supportive. The continental breakfast was okay. Overall a great value.

We've been staying here for years. We appreciate the changes the new owners have made. The expanded breakfast and warm pool were a real treat. The property is clean and well situated to indulge in all the Adirondacks and Lake Placid have to offer. The staff was friendly and it was great to see Arts trophies still in the trophy case.

I’m not sure why it’s listed as only a 2 star motel?? Should be a solid 3 I think. it’s very clean, quiet away from the hostel and bustle of downtown but a easy walk from there.the pool is very clean and heated too. My only slight complaint was the mattress was a little too soft for my back. Would definitely stay here again

I have stayed at this formerly family-owned hotel many times over the past fifteen years. Last year, it was resold to a company and a number of changes have been made. Pros: Rooms have been renovated. The room I stayed in had a tiled shower, jacuzzi tub (which I didn't use), high ceilings, a refrigerator and microwave, and a beautiful view of the mountains. I was on the corner and didn't hear any noise from other rooms, although there was some noise from the street, the parking lot, and the apartments down below the balcony. Bed was fairly comfortable and there was an air conditioner, although it was noisy enough that I didn't leave it on at night. The room and balcony were big enough that I was able to host two other couples for a get together (wine and cheese) on the balcony, although there were only two chairs and no table on the balcony. There is what they call a continental breakfast, but it is bread, toaster waffles, packaged donuts, and Honey Nut Cheerios, with coffee, hot water, and milk available. Some days there was yogurt and some days there was not. There is a pleasant small pool. You are asked to sign a waiver saying you will not do pretty much anything, including using the pool alone (seems unfriendly to solo travelers), but they don't force you to sign it. Cons: Most importantly, there is no longer any service during the stay. There was a subtle notice that you had to request service (not in a prominent place), as is not uncommon, but when I did ask on my third day that the trash cans be emptied and the broken screen door to the balcony be fixed, I was told it would be done immediately, which apparently meant never! Friends told me that they got tired of asking for the trash to be removed and put the trash out in front of their room. There was nothing I could do about the screen door--the gap in the screen door was wide enough that flies and a very large moth got into the room. Putting the screen back on the track didn't help--it was broken when I got there, or possibly never fit. I stopped using it after the second day. There was an attractive tiled shower, but weirdly the showerhead was a regular showerhead as if made for an ordinary small bathtub/shower, so you had to stand relatively close to the wall to shower. An overhead rainfall showerhead would have made this a better experience. The rooms are non-smoking, but the campus is not. There were people smoking on the balconies, in the parking lots, and others told me there were people smoking at the pool. Although this sometimes happens at many hotels, it was fairly pervasive and detracted from the experience. There is no desk, so when I needed to work, I sat on the bed or the balcony with my laptap. If you don't mind the smoking and the complete lack of service even when requested, this would be an o.k. stay. The service and charm of this being a family-owned hotel are gone, however, so I am eyeballing the Hampton Inn for my next stay.

Everything was great. The room was very cozy. The staff was very nice. Room was very clean.I felt like I was home in my house. Need a handrail going to the pool. I already booked a future room. The Devlin looks smaller from the the street view. I was very suprised.

Extremely easy to book a room. Very friendly staff (Especially the hotel manager (ANURA). I have stayed here many times over the years, but only twice since the new ownership. The hotel maintains it's reputation for clean & compfortable, with great views, donuts & muffins in the morning & friendly atmosphere. Conveniently located at the edge of town with easy walking into town & back. I will always stay there when I'm in town. Thank you Anura & the rest of the staff at The Devlin in Lake Placid. * One of my favorite get aways. Dave from NJ

Not as impressive looking as other hotels from the outside but we enjoyed our stay. We were shocked by how spacious the room was! I was able to do my online yoga class with no problem. Large, updated bathroom, nice balcony with lovely partial mountain view (view better from 2nd floor but not everyone wants to deal with stairs). Pool was clean and pleasant. Lobby nice seating area & 7am coffee & chocolate muffins. Staff welcoming! Walkable to shops & olympic buildings in town. Beds were a bit soft for us, not firm, but not awful. Some people like a less firm bed.
