Although this hotel is in relatively good condition, I was very disappointed to receive a $45.00 hotel facilities fee on top of the $300.00 prepaid via Expedia and no information alerting you that additional expenses would apply! Why not $200.00 hotel facilities fee next time. A few weeks before I stayed at The Marriott hotel and no such fee was… Read more

Why not $200.00 hotel facilities fee next time. A few weeks before I stayed at The Marriott hotel and no such fee was added to my Expedia expense. This hotel is a rip off. The floor in the shower was very old and dirty and no shampoo or shower gel in the shower bottles! Read less

This hotel in New York was fantastic and would stay there again. Staff fantastic room so clean and nice and great location. The man on the door was so friendly and helpful can’t remember his name but so helpful and great at his job. Location is the best for most sites all walking distance unless going down to lower manhattan.

Image of the Tripadvisor rating The hotel needs an update desperately

Mar 6, 2024 islingtonquatro Lake Placid, New York

Shabby hotel in need of update. The room furniture was very tired and the bathroom was outdated. Also, the window shades didn't block out light or close properly. Located on a busy road so ensure you have a room on the higher floors. There is no water in the room which is very inconvenient.
