Old and broken

First the good news, the cleaning staff is quite good and the hotel is kept clean. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was good but a little on the high side for price. Now the bad. When you turn on the water, both hot and cold, it gradually turns to hot water. The cold water only turn cold after about 10 minutes of allowing it to run. We had two rooms and it did this in both of the rooms. In order to get ice you have to ask at the front desk counter and they provide you with a bag of ice. The hotel does not have machines accessible by hotel guests. Generally the hotel looks old and worn. It does not seem to have been renovated since the 1980 Olympics. The carpeting needs to be replaced, the wallpaper is peeling from the walls in places and the furnishings are stained. They are working on it currently but I did not see any changes when we were there. The rooms are large, a sitting room and a separate bedroom area. However, the furnishings in the sitting room were old and stained. In addition, the only TV was in front of the bed and was not viewable from the sitting area. The blanket on the bed was ripped in a number of places. While I would accept something like this as normal in a $35/night Days Inn I was not happy about it in a $100+/night upscale hotel. Minor gripe: while the TV must have had 100 cable stations the TV did not show you what station number you were on or allow you to just type in the number of a station on the remote so you could not directly go to a station or find programs. It appears that there are many good hotels in the area which are better and cheaper then the Northwoods Inn.

We were expecting the worst, after hearing about the hotel under the previous ownership. What a pleasant surprise! Organized staff, almost everyone was friendly. Obviously they have a long way to go, but definitely on the right track. Rooms are somewhat narrow, as one might expect in a historic property, carpets need to be replaced, but the hotel was warm and clean. Parking is an issue; we found it easier to park in the public lot about 75 yards away. The dining is excellent. Gracious, professional service, in a rustic setting. Breakfasts are among the best we have found. And the highlight was live music all the nights we were there. The style and quality varied blues, bluegrass, folk, and rock & roll. If you aren't looking for the Waldorf, this is the place to stay in Lake Placid.
