It was a great stay. There was a noise issue when a bus full of girl athletes arrived after 10 PM. But this got much quieter by 11. Using the Roku tv was a bit of a challenge as there are many channels not available, and the access code for adding your own streaming apps would have been a plus. Between the outside lights and the Christmas lights, it was extremely bright in the room. Overall a good stay.

Excellent proximity to cross-country skiing on Lake Flower (across the street) and a rail trail (behind the property). Also within easy walking distance of restaurants.

The property was very close to downtown Saranac Lake and the ADK Rail Trail. Plus right across the street from Lake Flower and only abotut 8miles to Lake Placid. It wasn't fancy, but was clean, comfortable, one floor and served our purpose perfectly! Check in was a breeze. We will be definitely be back to stay and bike the Rail Trail again.

Property was a little dated looking, but the room was very comfy, clean and quite spacious. Looks like they are doing renovations so I’m sure it’ll get a good update. I’d stay here again.

The caretaker/owner took personal care for our comfort. The room was well appointed and had reliable heating and hot water, and had great wifi and cable TV. Excellent location for shopping and dining and across the way from the main lake in town. Sure beats the overpriced lodging in Lake Placid!

Booked the Sara Placid Inn & Suites because not as touristy or high brow as Lake Placid. Delighted to discover kayak, paddle, life vest & Propane BBQ are complimentary! Walking/biking trail runs behind the property, adjacent to a lily filled pond and across the street from Lake Flower. The BEST Suite is #18 (steps up to 2nd floor) with a forest view outside the living room picture window. Hardwood floors, Two Queen bedrooms, one with skylight and desk, a kitchen flowing into living and sit-down dining room (granite countertop with seats separate kitchen area), full size refrigerator and stove, well arranged shower-bathtub, all very clean with the fluffiest towels. More like a mini-vacation flat than a motel room. Check-in & out via phone text, So Easy. Hosts respond quickly. Very friendly. Walk into town can include Mountain Mist Ice Cream stop (famous) and Fusion Market beverage stop. Took a side path through Pine Ridge Cemetery, crossing river bridges to the far side of town and Bitters and Bones for a terraced lunch. Sourdough bakery across the street. Stopped by Nori’s Cafe and Organic Food Coop on the trip back. So many music venues in town. The BEST STAY in the area for value, luxury of kitchen & kayak and beauty!

Close to busy road but view on the lake. Room was spacious, clean and renovated. Bathroom was clean but is very outdated. Outdated furniture mixed matched with new pieces. Ok for one night but should not be listed as a three stars hotel.

The future of the motels?

Good value for the price. The beds were comfortable and the room was equipped as it should. But there is nobody at the reception. All the check in and check out were made via email. We did not meet anybody. It seems that's the future .. Not sure we go in the good way.

The room was very clean but dated. The bathroom did have tape by the shower on the wall covering something. Took a little bit to get hot water but once I got it was hot.
