We visited the Inn hotel to celebrate my husband’s birthday and take a much-needed break from my role as a caregiver for my mother. The weekend turned out to be exactly what we needed—it gave us the chance to unplug, recharge, and truly rest. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and just lovely throughout our stay. The level of service we received far exceeded what you’d typically expect from a chain hotel. We were very pleased with every aspect of our experience and are so grateful for the care and attention that made our time there feel so special.

Quiet, comfortable bed, very clean. Decorated nicely, very cozy feeling. Nice continental breakfast in bright cheery sunroom. Great hiking nearby. Staff responsive to questions and had good recommendations for dining and hiking. Very responsive via text prior to stay even had hiking trail directions printed out for us prior to our arrival. Overall very enjoyable stay. Everything was perfect!

The inn’s waitstaff, Allison and Kim, were amazing! They were so welcoming and treated us more like a treasured friend than a customer.

The food was made to order and very good prices were fair. The cost to stay there is overpriced.

I only saw staff on the day I arrived and the day I left. There was no staff around while I was there. They didn’t tell me that there wasn’t any staff available or that there would only be “continental breakfast”. I was depending on the restaurant being open during my stay but I learned that the restaurant was closed when I went down to try and get some dinner. I had wanted to cut my stay there short but no one was there. When I told the front desk of my disappointment, all she said was “I’m sorry” and didn’t really try to make amends. This place had wonderful memories for me. I returned to this inn after a very long

Our room at Friends Lake Inn had some kind of fungus growing on the wood floor outside of the the shower door. There were moths in the room and overall, the room was dirty. When we arrived (at about 4pm) there was no one at the front desk, just an envelope with our name on it. The security code for our room was in the envelope. The manager drove to the Inn and was very sweet and apologetic and refunded our stay. It's possible they have other updated rooms.

This hotel is beautiful, old style Adirondacks with cute rooms and great dining. While it is charming, the bed at least in the room I had was a springboard type of mattress you’d find at a koa camp. For the price to stay there I was shocked with it being one of the most uncomfortable sleeps I’ve gotten at any hotel and I travel a lot. Beds are an important piece to me. Aside from the super uncomfortable bed, the place was really nice. They didn’t skip on any Adirondack decor, the food for dinner and breakfast were superb and the people working there from the front desk, wait staff, and bar tender were top notch excellent. The bathroom and items they supplied were phenomenal as well. But truthfully as ideal of a cozy all Adirondack charming place as this is, I won’t return unless they upgrade their mattresses. If they do then I’d be back in a heartbeat!
