I am not a picky traveller...usually travel on a tight budget and have stayed in hostels throughout Europe, South East Asia and South America and they are mountains above in cleanliness than the Swiss Acres. I booked online sight unseen, reading reviews and thinking people were being picky and how bad could it be?! Looking forward to a ski trip... More

Once you book Swiss Acres, you've booked it. The cancellation policy is some what sketchy. They don't refund your deposit and expect you to pay up front. Red flag! We were told we would be shuttled to Whiteface Mountain Ski resort, but after checking with the front desk, we were told there was a shuttle service, but they could not... More

Don't know about the hotel as we did not stay there. Had dinner at the hotel restaurant (Mr. P's). One of the worse meals we ever had. The place seems to be run a shoestring, it took 45 minutes to get a burger out. The blue cheese used on our burger should have never made on anything edible. It was... More

We rented a chalet at this establishment. To start with upon arrival we were overcharged from what we were quoted. We were tired and anxious to get into the chalet, but when the girl at the desk said the total I protested and told her she had not taken the discount off. She argued and I was tired. I waited...

We stayed in the back end of the property in a building like a huge Adirondack cabin. It was clean and adequate with a cute Adirondack decor. Although a little more than we would like to pay for a smallish room, we were just looking for a place to spend one night and were thrilled to find a place that... More

This place is no house of horrors as some may have described. I was hesitant at first to stay here having read the reviews beforehand. To start with the good first: the lobby decor is quite quaint and the same can be said for the restaurant. Breakfast is free but includes only toast+eggs+coffee but I found it sufficient to get...

We all where very dissapointed with this motel! We stayed for two nights at the "cabin". It was dirty, shades where broken, lamps with spider webs. Breakfast is a joke. Toast with egg. The kids refused to return, More

My (now) wife and I stayed at Swiss Acres on our honeymoon and I cant say enough what an enjoyable experience it was. Our room was immaculate and the staff went out of their way to make this a memorable stay. The breakfasts in Mr P's restaurant (inside Swiss Acres) were some of the best dining experiences we have had... More

My friends and I usually stay at the Swiss Acres Inn when we go hiking in the Adirondack region. Since we are usually 4-5 people we booked the suite that can house 7 people easily. The suite we usually stay in, is comfortable and clean. It is well equipped with a microwave, over, stovetop and all the possible cooking utensils... More

I was nervous about booking here because I had read a lot of bad reviews but I must say I was PLEASANTLY surprised! My flight to NY got canceled and I wasn't able to arrive until a day later. The staff did not charge me for my missed night and were very welcoming to me when I arrived at 8pm.... More
