A unique place. rebuilt older mansion very nicely done. loved the experience and the caretaker was quite a nice guy. I was travelling on my own and it was so nice to stay in a place that is not just a cookie cutter chain hotel.

In its previous life it was a tuberculosis sanitorium. Rooms are named for the mountains in the ADK. There is a property manager, John, on site, but check in is dependent on receiving an email with information about your room #, etc. I found the confusion of guests when they first arrive is calmed by guests who have already gone thru the process and help them understand how it works. Outdoor shoes are to be left in the main porch, and only indoor shoes are to be worn inside. Do not lose your key or lock yourself out of your room; there may be no one on site to help you. No one enters your room to empty trash or make beds or change out towels during your visit. The parking lot is rough, so it's best to unload your car at the door and then park. I opted to pay at the facility, however there isn't a way to pay there. They should remove that option on Expedia, because I am still trying to find a way to pay for my stay after I have departed. They have yard games and a pinball machine in the basement. They are located very close to the Adirondack Rail Trail, so it was a great place for us to be.

The manager ( John ). Was very rude when questioned about getting clean towels and overall lack of housekeeping. Furnished with Vintage furniture in poor repair, the desk litterely collapsed while sitting at it. TV didn’t work, Manager claimed that was bc our room doesn’t have cable, despite there being a cable attached . Undoubtedly one of the worst places we have ever stayed

We spent one night in Saranac Lake, where hotels run from posh resorts, to a little scary looking. This place is fine - nice room and great rec room downstairs. Our caretaker was friendly and helpful. The only downside was we visited during a heat wave and there was no AC in our room, only a fan. I recommend this place for a short stay.

Our stay at Prescott House was a delight. The house is unique, cozy, and welcoming! The onsite manager was friendly and available, and we had everything we needed. The large bathrooms are shared, but the doors can be locked for quick showers, and there are also a few private half-baths (and one private shower) scattered throughout the building. Our room was a little bit musty and had not been updated like some of the other rooms, but it was clean and very affordable and met all our needs. We appreciated the coffee station and porches, the window a/c unit for the hot nights, the opportunity to meet other guests, and the fascinating history of the house. I would be glad to return. Thank you!
