Sara-Placid gets my vote (wife's too) for our number one place to stay in the Saranac/Lake Placid! area. The owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Clean, comfortable and spacious. Nice atmosphere and a view of the lake and pond. Restaurants and groceries nearby. We shall return.

This room was a good fit. Free hbo and wifi and the bed was comfortable. A nice view and nice flat screen tv. Only bad thing I have to say is that during taking a shower the hot water kept turning cold but besides that everything was perfect.

Thank you for your overall excellent rating. Sorry to hear that your water went from hot to cold occasionally. Don't know what the problem could have been. Thanks for bringing the issue to my attention. Steve More

I've stayed there twice in the last year and found the accommodations both comfortable and very clean. The rooms are well-kept and attractive. All rooms have a mini-fridge and microwave which I need since everything closes early up in the North Country so I can eat when I need to. The owners are very accommodating and attentive to your needs.... More

Had to book a place last minute for a memorial service. Tough to do with the Can-Am Hockey tournament ongoing. The Sara-Placid Motor Lodge had just 2 available rooms: one had two queen beds and the other had a king. My brother got to them first and booked the king; I got the 2 queens. The room was spacious and... More

We have just returned from a another wonderful winter trip to Saranac Lake and Lake Placid. We again had a beautiful Jacuzzi Suite with a King Size Bed and a huge Flat Screen TV. We would highly recommend this motel to anyone coming to the area. It is only a very short drive to Lake Placid and so worth it!... More

This place is very clean and very quite. The room looked freshly painted and the carpets appeared to be new as well. The bed was very comfortable. The only negative thing I could say is that I wish we had an extra pillow or two. That probably would have been rectified by a phone call though.

Thank you John for your comments on our rooms. As you have stated, extra pillows are not provided in the rooms, however, we would have provided you with extra ones, if you would have called the office. We hope to see you again in the near future. Steve/Owner More

We have stayed in the 2 BR condo for a total of 7 nights on 2 visits with another couple. The location was perfect for our Columbus Day weekend paddling trip. We carried our kayaks across the street and were able to paddle several miles. We used it as our base for a President's week visit most recently. The unit... More

Great service, Great Rooms. We have stayed here many times and have never been disapointed. This is our choice hotel when in the area. Beds are comfortable, and the rooms are clean. It is in a great location, not far from Placid, with a nice view of Lake Flower.
