The drive to this resort in October is beautiful and so worth it. I will highly recommended the lakeside view and won't regret it when waking up every morning. The service was what you should expect in a hospitality industry. The location is very convenient to the lively Main Street. We will make it a tradition to come back to this resort.

I live in Connecticut and never seen these prices. I'll never go back, what a joke. Not the mention those shitty rooms at $350 a night and we all leave sick. Fix it. Direct vent air-conditioning and heating is something you should move on from. Make all that fucking money you should change to heat pump so people don't get sick when they leave your location. Also, your parking is terrible. Your staff is completely awful and doesn't even say hello to people coming in and out of your hotel I think you should be shut down will never come back to that region just because the fact we had such a bad time.

After spending a week at this hotel, I have many reasons why I would not recommend it…read more -The tub in our room did not drain properly, so we were standing in our own bathwater while showering. -There's no fan/vent in the bathroom. -The curtains do not open all the way, so you pay a premium for a lake view and cannot really enjoy half of it unless you sit right in front of it or go outside to an uncomfortable bench on a narrow balcony. -Most of the front desk staff was flat and unhelpful. -We asked the host to refill the black tea bags in the free tea/coffee area several times over the course of a few days-she would not do it and would only hand us 1 or 2 tea bags at a time. Is black tea too expensive and that's why the guests only get green tea?? (even though there was black tea days prior). We are paying $274 a night to be here for a week. That's a lot of money to pay to have to ask for black tea. -Very understaffed in the restaurant at night. I felt bad for the staff, they were trying so hard (except the host, she didn't try at all). -I talked to another guest who had lots of complaints and was on her FOURTH room because she kept having to switch due to issues. -The mini-fridge froze like half the food, (and no I did not put it in the freezer section). -Housekeeping was not prompt (would come around 3pm when we were back in the room to work remotely on a different time zone). -One of the self-service washing machines is SO loud you can literally hear it from 2 floors down. -The free kayaking is closed for the season while the other kayak rental in town is still operating...That was not clear when booking. The first day we were there, it was 85 degrees F and lots of people were out kayaking. It would have been nice to know that that wasn't going to be included. So overall, I would not recommend staying here. We wished we had stayed in Saranac Lake, but in Lake Placid there are plenty of other hotels with great views (and maybe the curtains would actually open all the way so you can see it).

It does sit on top of a big hill which could be a challenge for some if they're wanting to walk everywhere. We enjoyed being able to walk everywhere with our pup. The breakfast buffet was surprisingly very good and had a nice variety of options including an omelette station. The gym had older equipment but good enough for a vacation workout.

We stayed the first time when I had an asthma attack from the hotel on top of the hill and had to get out and take a walk to breathe. I was looking up possible other hotels and saw the sign for the Haus. I found the number and called and Mr. Michael was amazing and was able to get me and my son a room! It was clean, pretty, and we had everything we needed and loved being right on Main Street. We were able to walk wherever we wanted and after we wanted to stay longer. Yulia the manager moved us to the room across the hall since ours was taken and we wanted to stay longer and ended up in number 10 for the past 2 nights. What bliss! The staff was amazing! They were available easily by text or phone and accommodated us with any need we had! Towels... change of sheets, cleaning. We went back again the following year, last year 2023 and stayed in another suite since the ones we wanted were not available but without fail, we loved everything about our stay! This time dad came along and he enjoyed it too. Needless to say, we look super forward to being there again this year! Third year in a row! Thank you!

Literally one of the best vacations I've ever had. From the second we checked in until we…read moretearfully had to check out, it was just a magical experience. We brought my mother-in-law here to celebrate her birthday and we hoped she'd like the laid back pace of a quaint lake town and she loved it. We had rooms in the lake cottage and our room (5L) has to be the best room on the property because you have a corner view with a wraparound porch and the vistas day and night are stunning. She had 7L and she loved it as well. Our room was cleaned thoroughly every day and everything worked perfectly. The shower was awesome. A lot of times in an older property things are a bit creaky but our room was perfect (once we figured out how to turn off the temperature light on the AC at night). The only tweak I'd make to our room would be to add a ceiling fan, but that's just a personal preference. We had massages at the spa and that was nice. I had a great masseur and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub in the spa afterwards. There is an indoor pool area with a jacuzzi and an outdoor hot tub. Apparently there used to be an outdoor pool but that was removed a couple of years back. That would have been nice. We ate at the View, the Cottage and the bar and I've reviewed the restaurants separately. The bar was a great place for some shared snacks and desserts along with excellent cocktails and wonderful service. I loved just sitting on a rocking chair in a small screened in porch off the main lobby reading a book. It was so peaceful. The study area has tables and a fireplace and that was a wonderful setting to write cards to friends. As you can tell, we loved it here. There are some caveats: It's not cheap (though it's worth it, in my opinion) and parts of the main building are a bit worn and/or dated. However, the service is great from everyone, the place is spotless and comfortable and the vibe is exceptional. I've never wanted to stay any place longer as much as I wanted to stay at Mirror Lake Inn. I really want to come back in winter to see what it's like. This was simply a lovely experience from beginning to end.

We booked through Airbnb and were told that the booking came through as an "order" rather than a reservation, which seemed to cause some confusion. The service at the bar was also disappointing. When we asked the bartender what his favorite drink to make was, his response was a drink he makes at home, which wasn't particularly helpful or professional. However, we did appreciate their happy hour pricing of 20% off drinks from 4-6pm. The hotel room itself was clean, but extremely bare and plain, with no closet or dresser to store our belongings. While cleanliness was appreciated, the room lacked the basic amenities and comfort we expected. Overall, the experience left a lot to be desired. We were glad we only stayed for one night and would likely look at other options for a future visit.

We stayed in a party suite with a balcony. The room was a disappointment. Numerous things were in…read moredisrepair, bathroom fan was not working, door between the main bedroom and living area would not latch or close, the sliding glass doors lock was broken ( needed a piece of wood to lock it), edges of the coffee table were chipped. Other things were the AC/ heater was covered in dust and had an awful smell when turned on. We had to open the sliding glass door and the door to the hall to get the smell out of the room. The shower had no water pressure whatsoever. The hallway rug was stained all over. The elevator looked like a freight elevator the inside was all banged up and the buttons did not light up when pressed. Then to top it off after spending the day sightseeing in beautiful Lake Placid, the hotel parking lot was full. No parking, I was told I could park behind the hotel or across the street in a garage but they did tell me I would be reimbursed when we checkout. As for the balcony was very weathered and the view was a hill of weeds approximately 5 feet away from the balcony. Absolutely no view. Totally unacceptable for the price we paid.

There's plenty of seating in the dining area. It looks like a ski lodge. There a sofa in front of the fireplace with blankets and pillows. Rooms are clean. Housekeeping is wonderful. Front desk staff are top tier. Eddy and Webby were my personal favorites during my stay. There are staff constantly moping the floors throughout the hotel and elevators to dry the tracked in snow. I found breakfast to be okay; much better than other Hampton Inns. However, if the person responsible isn't maintaining the breakfast area, the waffle station gets really gross with batter everywhere. Some mornings items would be out and not stocked and was disappointing. Parking gets pretty crazy with all the snow banks. Cars take up more than one space and the handicap row gets really full. You do have to put a permit in your car during your stay. There is a FREE shuttle to and from Whiteface Mountain. I highly recommend this hotel and will return.

Would go back…read more PROS - The Devlin appears like an old-school Alpine style motel, but honestly it was so much nicer. Everything was super clean, the room was spacious, very clean and had new carpeting and recently updated bathroom. The grounds were incredibly well maintained - lovely pool area and firepit with free smore's fixings at the front desk. Front desk personnel were very nice. Founded by an Olympian Ski Jumper Arthur Devlin years ago - all of his medals and trophys are in the small lobby/sitting area in an interesting display. Free filtered water machine to refill your water bottle. Sits right at the start of Main Street so town, the Olympic Center and Mirror Lake are nearby. We did drive to get to far end of Main (lazy night) but you can walk if you don't mind a bit of uphill to start and a bit of a walk. Room had a leather recliner in it which made us laugh, bc you never see that in a hotel, but honestly my husband was thrilled. No idea if those are in every room. We had 2 queens suite with mountain view. Ground floor. Would have liked to see what view was from upper level room, but even with ground floor our deck faced the mountain and wasn't obscured. Room to improve - No vending machines or even water to buy. While they do offer a free filtered fountain for bottle refills, sometimes you just want a new bottle. Minor issue. Went to gas station across the street.

From charming shops to great restaurants and beautiful sights everywhere you look, it's such a fun place to explore.

While we really liked this resort I would not necessarily recommend it those with physical challenges. There are actually 3 separate buildings that compromise the resort. The building we were in had a lot of stairs and no elevator. The "main" building interior is beautiful and there are man made waterfalls out front. The main building does have an elevator but the amenities, like pools, are pretty spaced out and require considerable walking. The room we stayed in beautiful with a wonderful view of the lake and mountains beyond. Of very special note: the Guest Services Manager- Ms Lia Collins- is a truly special person. She went beyond normal policy to help us out when unexpected circumstances caused us to cut our stay short. She treated us with caring and compassion- not just as customers. I highly recommend this hotel - aside from my accessibility comments. In my opinion- if accessibility is an issue for you- that you stay in the main building. Just be aware that there will be some walking. Overall a very nice place to stay!!

Stayed at lake house and king suite on the water front each for a couple of days…read more King suite by far better. Big, on the lake, comfier bed and pillows. There is a whirlpool bathtub we didn't use but the bathroom is huge. Downside in both rooms were spiders on the balcony (staying early September). Huge ones too. You brush them away and they come back in an hour. The lake house feels like camp. The room has a nice wood vaulted ceiling but that's the only nice feature. The carpet, bed and bathroom were pretty clean except that we found shavings in the sink and the faucet cap was missing and it was all rusted and corroded. The bathtub also had a draining problem. And the bathroom was super tiny, and the tissue box almost fell in the toilet multiple times. The toilet is not a home toilet but one you find in airport bathrooms. Blech. The best feature is the community room bar area which is really cute and spacious. The foosball table was fun but it is from the 80s or something. Small pool table, didn't get a chance to play. The atmosphere is a 60s chalet and it's great for playing board games, they have a few but we brought our own. As a guest at the resort you get access to all three building so doesn't matter where you stay, you can use all the services. Downstairs there is a pool and hot tub, just cement with a hole in it. My husband used the hot tub and was lucky no one else was in it. It's very big and has lots of jets. The whole room is very basic and can use a deep clean and some potted plants around or something to make it pretty. I have no idea what the rec room outside the pool could be, dirty carpeted area that I can picture a two year old running around circles in- that's about it. Wasted space. There is another pool and hot tub in the main building and it is a trek away from the other buildings as it's nestled in the back. It's super hot and steamy in the whole room and it looks newer than the other pool but still very basic. For a romantic getaway I highly suggest booking any waterfront room or suite, the view and rooms are much better cared for and more updated looking. Also having access right to the lake instead of walking across the street is a huge benefit. Only downside is the parking lot at waterfront is super tiny and you have to do multiple k turns and it took me 15 minutes to park into a spot. And the entry with the gates is awkward while your car sticks out in the middle of the street. But still the rooms and views are worth it. Only hotel I've seen that has paddle boats too. Lots of equipment available to borrow which is great. The place is a 4 star hotel but to me it's more of a 3. It is the cheaper of the 4 star hotels on mirror lake and I think it's because the amenities and rooms are old (still functional though). A lot of crevices in the rooms weren't cleaned, like spiderwebs in corners of the balconies and under the radiator. The service is very attentive though. They were super accommodating and everything I texted them about was dealt with in a timely manner. I really like their text service, so you don't have to keep calling the front desk for every little thing. Free coffee in the lobby of the main building and lake house every morning. Plenty of spring water fillers around the property. We didn't use the fire pits but last lighting is at 9pm and you have to buy your s'mores and equipment. I don't know if we would stay here again but if we did we would book a suite.

Check-in was easy and the hotel staff were super cool and friendly the whole stay. A couple small downsides: there are no elevators, so carrying luggage upstairs can be a pain, and the AC in room 244 didn't work very well, especially at night. Other than that, it was a solid stay and I'd definitely consider coming back for the location and customer service alone.

It is a very old place you can tell. The water was ice cold in the morning so we couldn't shower. The breakfast was good ! Lots of different things though the areas was ice cold as well. The air condition was on and all windows open. The yoghurt was grainy though, but not the first time we experience this with the machine ones. The location was perfect ! A nice small little town, a nice lake 4K you can walk or run around. Just right outside the hotel.
