We stayed here 4 nights in late August. Host Steve was very welcoming and full of helpful info and solicitous of our comfort and sought feedback about our stay and whether there was anything he could/should do to improve. (How often does that happen?!) We had one of 1-bedroom apartments. The sitting room was very comfortable; the kitchen had all... more

My partner, parents and myself stayed here for just one night in June 2009 as the third leg of our 22-day ‘Grand East Coast Tour’. It was a stop-over to break up the long journey between our previous location in North Woodstock, NH and our next destination – Toronto. We wanted to stay somewhere in or around Lake Placid, and... more

I often room in hotels operated as part of chains. On my family's trip to the Adirondacks this summer I found myself attracted to Sara-Placid Motor Inn, mainly by the photos and positive reviews. My family and I were not disappointed. We were there just after the Ironman Triathalon and found the rooms spotless and the accomodations wonderful. The owner... more

We selected Sara-Placid based on reviews on Trip Advisor, which we use often. We were not disappointed. Steve (the owner) warmly welcomed us and our room was simple, clean, well -priced and a great location. A motor inn may not be for everyone, but we loved it. Drive up, unload your bags, pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy... more

Steve, the owner/operator of this lovely place, couldn't have been more accommodating. The suite was spotlessly clean and neat on our arrival. This is an ideal spot for a honeymoon during the peak foliage season in the Adirondacks. I highly recommend the Sara-Placid Motor Inn for anyone staying in this area anytime. more

We stayed two nights here, a huge room with all the comforts, big bed, flat-screen TV, coffee, fridge, microwave etc. Steve is a very helpful guy and good host (as well as having at least two interesting old cars!) The motel is well placed opposite the lake but is on the edge of town on the Lake Placid road -... more

Saranac Lake makes for a perfect home base for the area. Every room is well furnished. Our kitchen unit was helpful and spacious through our five day stay. Steve is friendly and attentive to every need. Listen to his sightseeing and restaurant advice. He steered us to hikes and climbs seemingly reserved for the locals. This feels like a b&b... more

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the Sara Placid. Steve was very helpful in recommending local restaurants and a place to rent a canoe to explore the area. The rooms are clean, large, and include a mini-fridge and a flat screen TV. Also had a table and chairs, as well as a separate comfy chair. Location is... more

A huge "thank you" to Steve for not always a wonderful stay at one of my favorite motels but for helping my husband and I out of a terrible situation. We originally were camping down the road at a state park and due to huge downpours our tent was submerged in water and leaking at 10 PM at night. We... more

As a pilot, I am in hotels 20 days out of the month. I rarely review cause thats just too much work. This place stands out. The view and location are great. I stayed in a fully equiped fishing cottage and tried out the roadside motel part on my last day. The owner went well out of his way to... more
