This hotel was what you would expect from a Marriott - very modern in decor, very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful from the front desk to the waiters at breakfast. I read a review that it was far from town. Not at all. Not in walking distance but its a 2 minute ride to the Main Strip of Lake Placid. About 8-10 miles or a 15 minute drive to the mountain but all of the hotels in lake placid are that far from the mountain. We stayed in the fireplace suite for three nights and it was very big with a separate living room area from the bedroom. Very comfortable. Pool and Jacuzzi area was nice. No roomservice which was a downside but seeing as there is so many restaurants to go to in Lake Placid you don't want to stay in your room!

pros-liked the place, very clean, management friendly.
cons-rooms kinda small, not a lot of closet space and its 3 miles to town.

- we stayed over the new years week and had a very good time. everyone was nice at the hotel and it basically looks like a new hotel. ski room was convenient and great idea.
shuttle to town is a bit spotty, and coming back to hotel is very infrequent. I knew this when I booked the hotel, but my wife thought it was a hassle. ( I was there to ski.)
The shuttle to the mountain basically is non-existant. you need to take the alleged hotel/town shuttle to olympic center, then take the mountain shuttle to Whiteface. BIG hassle. the mountain shuttle makes several stops in town on its way to the mt.
with all that said, for me to stay there again, the price per night will need to be lower.... otherwise, I will just stay in town.

Just stayed here for a combo business/leisure trip. Hotel has a nice welcoming exterior and plenty of parking despite loss of spots due to snow. Check in was both efficient and pleasant. Room were in good repair both the bedroom and bathroom with a basic supply of soap, shampoo, toiletries. Towels could have been a little thicker but for the price it was on par with others. Showers were hot and heating system worked, maybe too well as the forced hot air system brings the room temp up quickly and was noisy at times.
Room was quiet, had a nice little mini fridge and coffee set up.
Lobby area was very nice with gas fireplace and plenty of seating to relax after the day, even a small bar with good quality cocktails. There was a small indoor pool with 2 hot tubs that seemed to be frequently used but we never did so I can't comment but from the outside looked well kept. Small exercise room as well.
Breakfast was a buffet consisting of eggs, made to order omelets, cereal, oatmeal, waffles, coffee juices etc as well as a few order from the menu options and at $10 a person was reasonable was the quality and quantity. Also offered a continental buffet with cereals, muffins etc for a few dollars less. Plenty of seating and waitstaff was pleasant and helpful.
One minor maintenance issue which was handled quickly. Overall with one exception staff was very good.
Shuttle service is offered to whiteface mountain as well as the village but we didn't use it so I can't comment on it.
Hotel is located about a 5 minute ride into the village, speed skating oval, indoor skating and many restaurants and about 15 minutes to the mountain. Nothing in walking distance but less hectic and no parking issues like there could be in town.
Free wifi which worked well, small business center on second floor overlooking the lobby.
Overall a great place to stay and a large convention center is being constructed which will open up possibilities for conferences.

My sister and I spent the last 3 nights at this hotel. Rooms were spacious,spotless and the beds and pillows were extremely comfy. From check-in until checkout everyone was very attentive. Sitting in the very nice lobby one staff member asked if we would like the fireplace (gas) turned on and another asked if we would like coffee or tea!
Breakfast is available and again,people could not have been nicer!
We didn't use the indoor pool but it was very inviting.This hotel is off the main street but is a short drive or a free trolley takes riders around town. Actually makes the hotel more quiet.
