Crowne Plaza Lake Placid

Great location and price, who care if the decor is outdated?

The location can't be beat -- right on a hill at the head of the main street, it has great views of the area, and you can walk to many shops and restaurants. We love room service, and though the menu is fairly standard, the pasta dish we had was unique and delicious. The used the nice, clean gym, and the pool is much bigger than your average hotel pool. The decor throughout seems outdated, but everything is clean and in good condition, so who cares? We are not here to see pretty things inside when there is so much beauty outside! But the best part is that it is dog friendly -- which was not easy to come by in Lake Placid. Though it is not a motel, we did have our own sliding door out to a beautiful, wide lawn, so it was easy to take the dog out for a quick walk or let her relieve herself on the way to the car. They even have a poop bag dispenser and trash can on the edge of the lawn near the hotel exit. (Note: You may not leave the dog unattended in your room, which is an understandable and probably wise policy, though that may be inconvenient in the heat of summer when you cannot leave the dog in your car...)

Location is the best around Lake Placid (Mirror Lake) area. Value for money is also the best. I stayed one night at another hotel that was almost as twice more expensive as this hotel but this one is way better.

My room didn't have a desk that is very popular nowadays at many other hotels. Hotel staff (front desk people) members are not very friendly. I felt like it was because I am not a European-American because I saw they were little different toward white people.

Can't wait to go back

We liked almost everything about this place. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by very friendly staff who are all extremely welcoming and helpful. The hotel has amazing views and has a great lodge vibe. The pool and hot tub area is great. Beds are very comfortable. Very pet and family friendly. So nice to be able to travel with the whole family!

The breakfast buffet was a bit disappointing.. it was a nice setting - but the food and options were lackluster. The location is awesome.. however, after a night of eating and drinking in town, it can be rough to walk (or in our case push a stroller) all the way up the hill to the hotel.
