"Overall, really pleased with the stay. Everything was clean and the staff was great. Great location, wonderful view from our third floor room. Only thing that could use improving is the breakfast/coffee availability. No coffee in the room and only in the lobby during breakfast that only runs from 8-10am. We also kept receiving texts to check out the bar but it wasn’t open one night and then closed for a private event the next night. Minor inconveniences for an otherwise wonderful stay."

"Our stay in the resort's Waterfront collection was great! The Junior suite was literally on the water with beautiful views. It's a large room with gas fireplace, jetted tub, separate shower, dual sinks and a comfortable king bed. Nearby Black Bear restaurant on Main St. was a favorite, with only a two minute walk for great food. We didn't have the chance to use their kayaks or paddleboats, but did take advantage of the hot tub and indoor pool in the Lake House for post-hikes recovery. This was the one area clearly in need of renovation. Overall, the High Peaks Resort's Waterfront collection is now one of our top choices to stay in Lake Placid."
