We had a great stay at Alpine Lodge in North Creek. We rented two rooms -- the 2-bedroom Eagle's Nest and the 1-bedroom suite -- and both were great. Daphne, the manager, was very helpful when I called and also with all of our back-and-forth texts. At one point, my niece accidentally double-locked the bathroom doors, and housekeeping couldn't get them open. Totally our fault, but the hotel still refunded our late checkout fee without me even asking, which was really nice of them. It's honestly such a charming place. This was my second time staying there -- I was there about 10 years ago and loved it then too. I'm already looking forward to going back next year. The location is also perfect if you're rafting with North Creek Rafting Company. It's about a 5-minute walk, which made things really easy. The Eagle's Nest had plenty of space for breakfast and just hanging out comfortably. I really don't understand the 1-star reviews. I guess you can't please everyone, but we had no complaints at all. Thanks again, Daphne! read more

Staying at the Alpine lodge gives you a big ole welcome home Adirondack style. The owner took a classic Adirondack motel and updated everything with great attention to detail. The rooms were extremely comfortable and quaint. We enjoyed the common spaces that included a fire pit with a charcoal grill. There was a lovely outdoor structure with a stone fireplace and seating area that was being used by another couple. The lounge inside had a lot to offer and made us feel at home. If I'm Back in the Adirondacks I will be seeking out the other venues that the Weekender company has to offer. read more

Stayed here for a wedding during the weekend. They increased their prices to around 310 dollars a night (from original 140 range). The room was average definitely not worth 300 dollars a night. There is no view here so I wish we would've booked somewhere else for this price. You are right in town but a lot of things were closed for a festival they were having. Typically if a hotel charges this much they provide a view, breakfast, or something special. This was not the case. I was also charged 20 dollars over the original price. They don't answer the phones or majority of their emails. Very disappointing. If you can afford this place I highly recommend you go find a better location. read more

Alpine Lodge was lovely! They are dog-friendly (some rooms). The suite has an open-air bedroom, around the corner from a "hangout area" + kitchen. There was also another sleeper room with a twin/full bunk bed. The rooms had a Samsung TV that blocked out about half of the commercials, which was nice. The kitchen has a microwave, stove, and refrigerator/freezer. Cups, glasses, plates, and bowls were provided in a pantry "closet." The walls were a bit thin. The heating was sufficient, but it was good to have a sweater on. Also, was easy to get woken up by upstairs neighbors walking around (thin floors, too). One could also easily hear conversations (with closed windows) right outside. Overall, a lovely place to stay! Would come again. read more

What a nice surprise! A pleasant motel that makes you think it will just be another roadside motel until You get inside your room. The rooms are decorated with a lovely ADK theme throughout. Most impressive though is the cleanliness. This place is spotless. And if you need some extra room to stretch out, the common Great Room area is cozy and comfortable. The price point is just where you'd want it for a quick stay or when passing through. Check in and check out are easy and seamless. After staying, I was left shaking my head at some of the past reviews that hit at the host's communications and unavailability. I had nothing of the sort in my experience. If you can read and follow some simple instructions, I'd highly recommend the Alpine Lodge to you. Thank you, Stephanie and team! read more

I loved the Alpine Lodge. It isn't fancy, it isn't 5 stars. It's cozy and comfortable. It's perfect for anyone who is coming out for an adventure. The beds were comfy, our suite (which was upgraded for free) was outstanding, and the location was perfect. Our friends had a regular room and they LOVED it. Theirs came with rocking chairs and a fire place (we were jealous of that but they wanted our kitchen). At night, you can go to the outside fireplace and make complimentary s'mores! The lobby is impressive, too. There's a popcorn machine, board games to bring back to your room, a coffee machine, and a nice spread of breakfast in the mornings. We loved our stay and will definitely come back when we want to do more white water rafting. read more

Alpine Lodge - Ski Resorts Near Me - North Creek, New York

Alpine Lodge is an old hotel that is more expensive than it should be! We booked for 2 nights but end up staying only 1! I woke up with several bites. There were bed bugs in the bed!!!!They don't even have cover mattress cover to prevent bed bugs infection. And there were mice in the walls that we could hear the whole night. We even saw them in the morning behind the air conditioner. Avoid this hotel ! read more

This is an immaculate accommodation that takes COVID precautions seriously. They are able to run the lodge in a contactless manner but do their best to maintain a personal touch. We got all the help we could ever need via text. My family was lucky in that we reserved the largest room that is totally separate from other rooms. It has its own entrance (be aware it's a flight of at least fifteen steps to get to the unit) One room has a super comfy king bed. The other has two comfy twin beds. There is a cot in one of the closets and I think an additional cot can be provided. There is a full size refrigerator, gas range/oven, microwave, washer dryer, and a double-sinked bathroom with one shower. Huge tv in living area with a gas fireplace. TVs in both bedrooms. TVs have access to streaming services. Incredibly fast WiFi and tons of charging stations. Alexa is there if you like "her". Big entirely private terrace overlooking the town. Very good supermarket across the street. I describe this unit in excruciating detail because we were able to have a real home away from home while exploring the region. There are not that many outdoor dining options that we could find midweek in summer so having your own place to feed the family and wash the clothes (which have been canoeing hiking rock climbing and other assorted things) is a huge convenience. Plus the place looks great. Smaller units are available elsewhere in the lodge and while all have great "smart tech" attributes you really need to reach out to the great staff in advance to make sure the room you get is best for your needs in terms of kitchenettes and/or private outdoor space . Rooms facing the back are quieter. Rooms upstairs are quieter. It rained the whole time we were there but the day we left was sunny and it looks like the backyard with gardens and corn hole and horse shoes and a fire pit are super nice. Also they do have some dog friendly rooms so check that out. It's about 90 minutes to Lake Placid/Tupper Lake/Saranac Lake area. Long Lake is a bit closer. Saratoga is maybe a half hour. Make sure to make time to check our all the North Creek businesses. Special shout out to Beaver Creek outfitters and North Creek mosaic project creator Kate Hartley who runs H'Art gallery. We will be back to check out the scene on an autumn weekend or anytime in winter when we can ski Gore right near the lodge. Summer time weekdays when we were there are much sleepier and many businesses were closed until the day we left which was a Friday and everything was opening up was hopping! read more

A cozy, homey place to stay if you're on a ski trip, or just visiting the area. Everything was super clean, the bed and linens were comfortable, there's really nothing bad to say here. Will definitely return here my next trip to gore read more

Awesome spot. You feel very remote with whoever you go with, but the friendly staff is always there to help. Very close to Gore mountain which we skiied and really enjoyed. The fireplace in the rooms are really cool too. Main Street (the street on which the place is located) is very homey and there are many bars and restaurants. You won't be disappointed! read more

Quaint town & comfortable room. Loved the Adirondack theme with rocking chairs around a fireplace. It's a long 30 minute ride to Lake George, but if you want a quieter area this is it! Keep in mind there is limited outside area and our room overlooked someone's rustic yard. Do not plan on their continental breakfast to be enough - bare bones at best. Very little to do in this area in the summer but the town does have a few amazing cafes! read more

This place was amazing. We were the only guests our first night, so it was peaceful. The room was beautiful and wonderfully decorated. I thought the bed was super comfy. Normally, I wake up in pain in hotel beds, but I slept soundly. The jacuzzi tub was magical. Staff was amazing! Our first night, we noticed the a/c was on for a bit but not really getting cold. My husband noticed it still had a cover on it. No worries, a call to the staff and she was here in less than 5 minutes to take care of it. The next morning we were served our continental breakfast. She got it out for us, again because we were the only guests. We didn't have the room cleaned in between, so on our last night we needed some new towels. Just a quick call, and we had fresh towels. I highly recommend the Alpine Lodge and its staff. We really enjoyed our stay in this quiet little town. read more

Love this lodge. Very clean. Great staff. Beautiful rooms. Very relaxing The town that it's in is very cute and quaint read more

The stuff we didn't like here was minor... so.... I'll start w/ that. The shower dripped endlessly. Housekeeping didn't always replace all our our towels when they took them. And, the free wi-fi was not worth having at all as we got it to work once on our four day stay. Our air conditioner was also a little loud but frankly, my husband was more perturbed about this than me. Now for the good. The rooms were clean, the bed was "gi-nor-mous" and the linens were good quality and clean. The rooms all use a key code which we thought convenient. The shower was good size and the bathroom made good use of a small space. We had a deck that overlooked the yard--it was nice to enjoy a beer or two there. North Creek has a lot to offer but you have to look for it. We enjoyed the train to Sarasota Springs, spent a day rafting with North Creek Rafting and also did some sightseeing even though rain hampered about half our stay. read more

This was our first stop on a road trip from Chicago to Maine about a week ago. I ended up wishing we had more than one night to spend here. The contactless check-in was great. They send you a code to get into your room, and when we opened the door we were thrilled. The room we had was pristine. Nice furniture, the bed was great, they had Alexa smart speakers which were a lot of fun, and the bathroom was lovely. The best part was the balcony. Nice Adirondack chairs, and floor to ceiling dividers to provide privacy. We will definitely be staying here again in the future. read more

I absolutely loved it. Relaxing, clean, and accommodating; everything I needed for a delightful weekend. I recommend this place.

Stayed a weekend in early March, assigned the room 'Santanoni', which is in the back on the 'lower' (read: basement) level. Clean, good parking, very close to good food and drink. Decor: ski chalet cliche filtered through Walmart. Lower level means there are rooms above you. Rooms built on what must be the squeakiest, least soundproof materials known to mankind. We could hear literally everything upstairs, including their early morning wake-up - absolutely no escape from the VERY. LOUD. NOISE. To make matters worse, someone (night management?) decided to do several loads of laundry in the room directly behind our bedroom IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. It would appear the machine(s) are against the shared wall, because this noise also was also incredibly loud and disruptive. So, will I stay here again - no. Are the rooms upstairs quieter? Probably. Was our room fairly priced given the noise conditions? No - there should be a discount or some type of notification that those rooms are uninhabitable. read more

LOVED staying here! This place is the ultimate cozy lodge if you're looking to stay in town for a romantic getaway or simply with your family/friends/ski trip (we came here during the winter to ski). First off, the customer service is AMAZING, the managers are always there to provide you with useful information and not to mention, they're super sweet. There isn't an "official" check in, they just send you emails with your room & main lobby passcodes, and you just show up at your convenience. We live about 4 hours away, so we weren't familiar with the area at all, and the manager told us to go down to Lake Placid for more activities to do (bowling, museums, restaurants, paintball, golfing, arcades..etc. there isn't much to do in North Creek in the winter, but if you go down to the lobby, near the fire place they have a ton of binders full of activities and fun things to check out) The room we stayed in was pretty small but cozy, it had a shower, TV, blow dryer, ironing board, hangers, and clothing vanities, and it was perfect for just the two of us. The only upsetting thing was, is that they don't have a personal fridge for their guests, but there is a big fridge in the "living room/lobby" where they keep the breakfast and we asked the manger if we could keep some of our food there and she was completely okay with it (also, we were the only family at the lodge at that time too). They do serve breakfast in the morning, and we actually missed it on the first night we stayed there but the manager was more than happy to make us it again. The lobby/ living room area is really cozy as well, they have a huge tv and an indoor fire place (there is an outdoor fire place as well!), with a coffee table, and board games. There's a super market and liquor store right across the lodge, and a SUPER YUMMY café/ organic store right next door! (it's called Izzy's!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND for some soup, sandwiches, and FRESH MADE COFFEE) and everything, especially the ski resort is within 5 minutes tops. Lake Placid is only 40 minutes away, and worth a day's trip if you're down for it. On a shorter note, yes, I WOULD RECOMMEND ALPINE LODGE! Cant wait to come back :) ! read more

Nice little place close to Gore Mt. Comfortable and close to skiing which is all we were looking for. Take note that the few places in town to eat aren't always open during the week. We thought we'd be able to walk to bars/restaurants/shops, but seems like that's more of a summer thing for North Creek. All in all, good experience. read more

Have been coming here for years now (since it opened), and this is one of my favorite places to stay anywhere. Technically a motel - but man - what a motel. Keyless entry - they send you a keycode for the room, so you just roll up, enter the keycode, and into the room you go. Rooms are amazingly appointed - Big comfy adirondack styled room with a comfortable bed with nice pillows, a lot of soft blankets and covers. Flat screen TV. Coffee maker, Free wifi, Free long distance calls, great location right in town, a nice clock radio (these things count), and a very nice great room in the middle. Oh - and some rooms have these wonderful fireplace/stoves to warm up with Bathrooms are nothing special, which after all the work on the bedroom is kind of odd - but the water pressure if really high, so I can forgive the ho-hum industrial shower as soon as the water hits. Always look forward to coming back to the Alpine Lodge. read more

Rooms are all recently remodeled. If you like stick furniture, this is the place for you. Very faux Adirondack. Resin antler lamps, everything made of real or fake logs. All bears, moose and trees.The room was very small, beds not comfy. Impeccably clean which we appreciated. Unfortunately not much sleep for us due in part to the lighted courtyard out front and a disfunctional alarm clock the went off twice at midnight. Wouldn't have mentioned it but thought it was telling that the manager already knew about the problem because it had happened before and did nothing about it. Management not really thinking, I guess read more

Cozy and quiet room with Adirondack furnishings located in a small town away from the glitz. Room a little cramped but comfortable with a good bed and bath. Convenient to eating establishments and skiing. Seemed a little on the pricey side but I'd stay here again. read more

A very autonomous lodging choice...there was no one there, so you have to call if you need help with something. The room was ok - not bad but for the paper thin walls so we could hear people coming and going out all hours of the night...just hope for quiet neighbors! When they say continental breakfast...it's more like dry cereal and oatmeal with a coffee machine, no milk and good luck figuring out how to get hot water - definitely not the $8, as the coupon notes when you check-in yourself read more

Can't say enough about how great the "Eagle's Nest" suite is. It's updated but still rustic, with a beautiful gas fireplace and big open layout. We used it as a bridal party suite and did pre-wedding prep there - and there was enough room for 2 hairdressers, a makeup artist, and nearly a dozen girls getting ready comfortably! The staff was so accommodating and there for whatever we needed. Also, the place was SO CLEAN!! The views were great. My only regret was we didn't have time to sit out at the outdoor fireplace available to all the rooms behind the lodge! read more

Very cozy Adirondack lodge. Our room had a gas fire place which was great to warm up after skiing at Gore Mountain. Very close to all of the shops and restaurants in North Creek. Also very clean. Highly recommend staying there! read more

We LOVED our stay at the Alpine. The accomodations were so cozy and warm, and the staff treated us so nicely, which made our stay that much better. The rooms were quiet and clean, which gave me one of the best sleeps of my life. The breakfast in the morning was a nice treat, as most competitors in the area don't offer that. Cant wait to come back! read more

Great location. Really enjoyed the town of North Creek. Unfortunately the Alpine Lodge has paper thin walls and we could hear EVERYTHING from rooms around us. read more

Alpine Lodge is a great, convenient place to stay in North Creek. We go during the winter for skiing and the shuttle, which stops right outside, is key. The Lodge is definitely run more like a motel than hotel, but that is advantageous when hauling around ski gear. Love the rooms with gas fireplaces and it is one of the few motels that also have kitchens in some rooms. The manager is on point and can be easily reached with a simple call to handle anything from making fresh popcorn in the lobby to dealing with noisy neighbors. We will be going back. read more
