Notre chambre était propre et bien équipée avec frigidaire et micro-ondes. Bien situé, restaurant McDonald's de l'autre coté de la rue et à distance de marche de la rue Principale et de ses commerces. Coup de coeur pour la cour située au bord de l'eau. Canots et kayaks disponibles. Tables et chaises pour apprécier le magnifique paysage. Le seul point négatif est pour les propriétaires de chiens qui ne ramassent pas les excréments de leur animal sur le gazon. Nous retournerons certainement à cet hôtel !

Checked in at 4pm but room was not ready, bed was not made. After calling customer service we were told there were laundering issues and please come back at 4:30 everything would be ready. At 4:30 room was still not ready, on site staff never got the message. On site staff were super friendly and took care of finishing the room right away. Otherwise everything was great.

False advertising at Placid Bay Hotel
It's basically a motel that has new paint. It's on the main road - noisy trucks. The room smelled of cheesy popcorn and we woke up nautious. The chair (only 1) had stains on it. The air conditioner was so loud (a 747 would seem peaceful) we had to turn it off so we were too hot. The check in has nobody in the office - it's all with a code, there is no lobby, no place to get a drink (just a coffee machine), the pool looked nice, and there were chairs by the water, but this is NOT a resort, it's a motel. I phoned to ask if we could move and not stay or pay since it's such false advertising, but they said no, but they would happily give me a discounted rate since it was so disappointing. BUT they lied, ghosted me after we stayed despite seeming to care what we thought. I highly recommend you save your money and stay at a real resort. Don't stay here.

I love this hotel. I like that you don’t have to formally check in ; I was super exhausted when I arrived and having the key code for the room was ultra convenient. The room was cozy and comfortable; it had everything I needed for a great night’s sleep. Bed was perfect… I will definitely stay here again !

The peace, space, location and support of the staff make that we enjoyed our stay and definitely want to come back here when we are in the area again. The only consideration for us was the AC in our room which was built in without rubbers which makes the frame resonate loudly.

The only reason I gave 4 stars for staff & service is because it's a self-service kind of place. You get a code for your door, which is also the code for the lobby which has ice, extra coffee and creamers, brochures, etc. The rooms are small but comfortable. The shampoos et al. are Beekman, which is a nice touch. We spent very little time in the room so the size didn't matter. If it had rained I think there were 1000 channels on the tv. The location is a short walk to the main area of Lake Placid and there's a very pretty bay with Adirondack chairs, canoes/kayaks and fire pits behind the property.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Townhouse Lodge, and overall, my experience was fantastic. The on-site staff were amazing and incredibly accommodating, even when I asked a million questions. Their friendliness and willingness to help made my stay truly enjoyable. However, there was a bit of confusion with the booking process. We originally booked for the Placid Bay Inn and were shown a room and location specific to that inn. Upon arrival, we discovered our room was actually at the Townhouse Lodge down the block. While this wasn't a huge issue since both locations are quite similar, it would be helpful if this discrepancy were fixed to avoid any future confusion. As a minor complaint (just being a girl), the rooms lacked full-body mirrors, which made it difficult to see myself properly. It would be great if this amenity could be added in the future. Despite these small issues, I had an awesome experience. The rooms were spacious and modern, and Miguel, the manager, was particularly great. Additionally, I loved having access to the boats—they added a fun and unique element to my stay. Overall, I highly recommend the Townhouse Lodge for its excellent staff, comfortable accommodations, and enjoyable amenities. Just remember to add some full-body mirrors, and it will be perfect!
