Mirror Lake Inn Resort & Spa

A beautiful inn with the friendliest and most attentive staff. Gorgeously decorated for the holidays. Wonderful restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Large, very comfortable and charming common areas greatly enhanced by the no cellphone policy. A central fireplace with a real wood fire going. Short walk to Lake Placid’s downtown...

A beautiful inn with the friendliest and most attentive staff. Gorgeously decorated for the holidays. Wonderful restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Large, very comfortable and charming common areas greatly enhanced by the no cellphone policy. A central fireplace with a real wood fire going. Short walk to Lake Placid’s downtown shops and restaurants. Enjoyed the indoor pool. Every time I leave I regret not staying there more often.Great base for skiing and hiking.

Everything is fantastic here; the service (except at times when the bar is crowded), the food, the views, the rooms. Everything. People are so nice, room staff even when not using them are nice and polite, front desk, bartender, maitre D', and the place is full of nooks and crannies...

Everything is fantastic here; the service (except at times when the bar is crowded), the food, the views, the rooms. Everything. People are so nice, room staff even when not using them are nice and polite, front desk, bartender, maitre D', and the place is full of nooks and crannies for sharing a drink, reading a book, or meeting interesting people.

The AI overview nailed it. Positives: Clean with a great location. There is no way that it was worth the money, however, and I am honestly shocked by the AAA 4 Diamonds and their listing as one of the best resorts in NY State. The rooms are dated. The furniture...

The AI overview nailed it. Positives: Clean with a great location. There is no way that it was worth the money, however, and I am honestly shocked by the AAA 4 Diamonds and their listing as one of the best resorts in NY State. The rooms are dated. The furniture is worn and the rooms are dark. This also means that there aren't enough outlets for two people's phones, laptops, watches, etc. We were on the first floor and the ceiling was so thin that we heard every footstep in the room above us. At one point, when my boyfriend was in the bathroom, I heard a sneeze and said "bless you" ... but it was the person upstairs! The wifi was free, but you get what. you pay for. We had to run our laptops off our phones. We couldn't get Netflix on the TV because the internet was too slow. We couldn't use the safe because the was a "battery low" flashing on the safe ... and we didn't want to have our belongings locked with the inability to remove them. And this place has so many rules! It was like staying with your grandparents. There was even a sticker on the bed when we arrived to "prove" that the sheets were clean. Nothing says luxury resort like a sticker on the sheets. We also got the package with free breakfast, but were told that it was first come-first served. On Saturday when we showed up at breakfast, we were told that it was a 20 minute wait. The dining room was more than 1/2 empty and all we wanted was a buffet. When we offered to hit the buffet and take the food back to the room, we were told that it was against the rules. When I loudly said that the place deserved a one star review, we were suddenly seated immediately by one of the owners. Though we declined room service, there was a surprise $10 per day housekeeping gratuity on our bill when we left! (The Management removed it.)

My wife and I went for an extended weekend. Loved the Inn. It's rustic but well put together. Excellent room. Excellent service. It is central (as is all Lake Placid) to hikes and the surrounding Adirondacks. Would highly recommend staying here. I would avoid the restaurant though.

We can never say enough about MLI…..it is truly our “ happy Place”. We’ve been coming for 30 years & the quality is consistently excellent. Love the Adirondack feel to all the rooms & the whole place. It’s all about warm, cozy , good food , love the bar atmosphere...

We can never say enough about MLI…..it is truly our “ happy Place”. We’ve been coming for 30 years & the quality is consistently excellent. Love the Adirondack feel to all the rooms & the whole place. It’s all about warm, cozy , good food , love the bar atmosphere , the entire staff & all around beautiful Inn. It’s the best no matter what the season. Come see for yourself.

The Mirror Lake Inn is perfect for a weekend getaway! My husband and I went for our babymoon and couldn’t have been happier. The room was beautiful with 2 floors and a balcony overlooking the lake. We also enjoyed the dining experience with their breakfast buffet and unbelievable 4 course...

We also enjoyed the dining experience with their breakfast buffet and unbelievable 4 course dinner at The View. Highly recommend

Beautifully situated on Mirror Lake with exquisite landscaping and mass plantings of gorgeous flowers, the inn is within walking distance of the restaurants and cute shops of Lake Placid.

Beautifully situated on Mirror Lake with exquisite landscaping and mass plantings of gorgeous flowers, the inn is within walking distance of the restaurants and cute shops of Lake Placid. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Just couldn’t get over the old dark hallways and dated room. We spent most of our time outside.

Very much regret this. First off they were not up front with the price. Be sure you know that gratuity and tons taxes will be added to your bill. For 700$ a night - small room - dark dank corridors - loud neighbors woke us up at night and for...

Very much regret this. First off they were not up front with the price. Be sure you know that gratuity and tons taxes will be added to your bill. For 700$ a night - small room - dark dank corridors - loud neighbors woke us up at night and for a place that is also a “spa” the tolietries were awful. The shower soap would may be appropriate for a man but very strong smelling. I had to shower again after using it to get the smell off. This place is so overpriced. The staff was not helpful and twice had to wait over 20 minutes for the “free 24 hours” coffee in the lobby. The location was nice but otherwise I cannot recommend this place AT ALL. Also the list of “rules” made me feel like a child. Truly an awful experience.

Everything about this inn is terrific. The location and grounds are pristine. The service that we received in the restaurants, at the front desk, and in the spa - was exceptional. The view from the room was terrific. We loved our stay. It was peaceful, romantic, and relaxing. We will...

Everything about this inn is terrific. The location and grounds are pristine. The service that we received in the restaurants, at the front desk, and in the spa - was exceptional. The view from the room was terrific. We loved our stay. It was peaceful, romantic, and relaxing. We will definitely return!

Everything about this place is first class -- the rooms, the common areas, the staff, the service, the restaurant, the amenities. Our only (very) slight quibble is that we did not love the bed. The property itself is probably the best spot in all of Lake Placid. The grounds and...

Everything about this place is first class -- the rooms, the common areas, the staff, the service, the restaurant, the amenities. Our only (very) slight quibble is that we did not love the bed. The property itself is probably the best spot in all of Lake Placid. The grounds and buildings make it stunningly beautiful. Our stay was not inexpensive at $1,200+ for two nights in one of the suites in the main building. However we left feeling that it was worth every penny.
