This was a clean Hotel and comfortable. check in was very easy as there was no staff to interact with. I just checked my email for instructions which told me my room number and key location. the shared bathrooms/showers was interesting but doable and there was adequate number of house slippers to get to our room.

Wonderful old building that has had many previous uses, and now rents out guest rooms at a very affordable rate. Well maintained, and the owner lives on-site and is extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend as a great alternative to more expensive chain hotel or resort rooms.

A charming place to stay! Very clean and comfortable. A quiet neighborhood, but close to things to do in Saranac Lake. Very friendly and helpful staff. John went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!

Disliked: Amenities
If you want a reasonable room in a nice very old house, with zero service and nothing within walking distance, this is your place! Long after I had booked, the hotel informed me that I would receive a message from them at noon on the day of arrival, giving me my room number, as there were NO reception staff. When I got there at 4 pm, no message! Luckily, another guest had gone through this rigamarole and had finally unearthed a telephone to call. I rang the number and, with many apologies, I was given my room number! After I took my shoes off - not allowed inside - I got into the room. No dining facilities nor breakfast. But a common area for cooking, which I did not need. Too far out of time to walk to anywhere to eat. But the room is OK, clean and with all conveniences.

Clean room, easy check in. Basic room but access to fully equipped kitchen. More suitable for younger people doing sporting activities than a senior couple touring. Quirky. No issues at all.

Love it!

Absolutely amazing value for the price! We booked this pretty last minute for a concert in town we were going to and we loved it! Super comfortable and cozy, walking distance to down town, clean, quiet. We loved it so much we booked another stay for the end of October! This will definitely be our go to place to stay anytime we are in the Sarnac Lake area!

Very nice place and a good value for the money. Would definitely stay there again. Two improvements to suggest. 1) In the common shower area, build out small vestibules in front of the shower stalls, even with the toilet stalls, so that there is a private place to disrobe before showering. 2) The misting, water-saving shower heads actually cool the water coming out of the head, and so the user turns up the hot water, and no energy is saved. The mist is also very uncomfortable. Suggest updating the shower heads to more modern water-saving models that do not turn the flow into a mist.
