Been staying here every year for over a decade and I just can't do it again. The location is awesome for the CanAm Rugby tournament but just can justify the expense for the horrible room. Location is the ONLY reason it gets a 2 rating. The place is not kept up with old worn rooms and common areas. Goodbye Hotel... More

I am sure at one time this was a beautifully romantic hotel in the Adirondacks, however like the song in Copán Cabana, it is one faded flower. The hotel was filthy and smelly. I found toe nail clippings in the carpet as well as used soap in the bathroom. The wall paper in the hallway was shredded with an exacto-knife.... More

It was with a certain degree of fear and trepidation that I pulled into the parking lot of the Hotel Saranac. Judging by the reviews, I half-expected something out of a Stephen King novel, and wondered if I would ever make it out alive. And so it was that I was quite pleasantly surprised to experience a solidly average stay... More

Traveler beware!!! This place should be banned by the health department. We made a reservation by phone the day of our arrival. Had I read the reviews before on Trip advisor , I never would have booked a reservation. The room was dingy, small and dirty with mold all over the bathroom tiles. We pulled back the sheets to discover... More

I came to Lake Saranac for Valentines Day with my husband. When I went to my room at The Hotel Saranac, it looked like a closet and smelled like a locker room after the Superbowl!!! They tried to upgrade me to a bigger room that smelled the same. The elevator is a death trap, the old time decorations are falling... More

I was born and raised in Saranac Lake, and moved to Albany when I was 15. Hotel Saranac is the only place that I will stay for a vacation in that area. Great service. Room 601 best for Winter Carnival or all over view to see All American City. Rooms are very spacious. Hot water for shower was excellent. Room... More

The bad reviews are very misleading. If you are over 50 you will appreciate this place. It is old but stately, Well kept, new paint, carpets look new. There can be issues with the lights and/or heat at times but the staff was always there to remedy things ASAP. Our room was very spacious with the most comfortable bed. I... More

My night at Hotel Saranac was straight out of a horror movie. Check-in went smoothly, but the lobby is extremely dark. The manager (owner?) did get our reservation confused with another one and tried to tell us we couldn't have the check out we wanted. I thought that the gift shop and restaurant were closed because it was the end... More

I stayed at this hotel overnight for a business trip. When I booked the trip, I thought I was getting a great deal after looking at the few pictures on the website and the rate was so low. I thought it was just because it wasn't high season. When I arrived the place was desolate and a little creepy. The... More
