Mirror Lake Inn

What an incredible last minute choice of vacation spot! My parents had their honeymoon in Lake Placid during the blizzard of ‘47, do I simply had to visit. The Mirror Lake Inn under the management of Andrew Weibrecht is a superb spot. Chris assisted immensely with the reservation. My room overlooked the most surreal, spectacular view of the tranquil lake (where we spotted a lone loon at dawn); the full moon sifting through the trees and whipped cream clouds; and the giant chess set on the lawn. From early a.m. pink sunrise tranquility through the Indian summer day, sitting on the lakeside comfy lounge chairs, reading in solitude; kayaking through the still waters in late afternoon—was purely magical. The welcoming hotel staff are impeccable at attending to every detail to make you feel comfortable and relaxed, from recommending local breakfast places at 10am to getting refills of coffee at 10pm ! Thank you to Will, Erin, Sam, Yra, Emily, Indira, Jay, Jayson, Joyvana and Ankita -staff at the front desk and at the luscious Cottage and elegant View restaurants. The steak au poivre meal at the View was one of the best I’ve ever had! The chicken tikka soup and chicken pesto at the Cottage were luscious. The waitresses were warm and wonderful. The vibe at the cottage is relaxed and upbeat -makes you want to just move in !!! September at the MLI was priceless. I can only imagine how the snowy frozen lake scenery snd toboggan times are in winter. Must go back! Don’t forget to check out the indoor spa with phenomenal pool, mini sitting bridge and hot tub. Amazing!

We stayed there 4 times the past 10 years & enjoyed the sincere services, great dining options as well as the hotel’s proximity to the White Face Mountain ski slopes. The views dorm hotel rooms are very pretty and romantic. Reservations for their restaurants are a must as they don’t have enough tables to serve hotel guests and tourists.

Everything is fantastic here; the service (except at times when the bar is crowded), the food, the views, the rooms. Everything. People are so nice, room staff even when not using them are nice and polite, front desk, bartender, maitre D', and the place is full of nooks and crannies for sharing a drink, reading a book, or meeting interesting people.

Does anyone has experienced have a Spa in front of Ocean lake view. Imagine the scene, having spa in evening with beautiful Lake view. Awesome experience. If you are thinking to make a plan to New york. I would suggest you to visit Mirror Lake Inn Resort once.

The AI overview nailed it. Positives: Clean with a great location. There is no way that it was worth the money, however, and I am honestly shocked by the AAA 4 Diamonds and their listing as one of the best resorts in NY State. The rooms are dated. The furniture is worn and the rooms are dark. This also means that there aren't enough outlets for two people's phones, laptops, watches, etc. We were on the first floor and the ceiling was so thin that we heard every footstep in the room above us. At one point, when my boyfriend was in the bathroom, I heard a sneeze and said "bless you" ... but it was the person upstairs! The wifi was free, but you get what. you pay for. We had to run our laptops off our phones. We couldn't get Netflix on the TV because the internet was too slow. We couldn't use the safe because the was a "battery low" flashing on the safe ... and we didn't want to have our belongings locked with the inability to remove them. And this place has so many rules! It was like staying with your grandparents. There was even a sticker on the bed when we arrived to "prove" that the sheets were clean. Nothing says luxury resort like a sticker on the sheets. We also got the package with free breakfast, but were told that it was first come-first served. On Saturday when we showed up at breakfast, we were told that it was a 20 minute wait. The dining room was more than 1/2 empty and all we wanted was a buffet. When we offered to hit the buffet and take the food back to the room, we were told that it was against the rules. When I loudly said that the place deserved a one star review, we were suddenly seated immediately by one of the owners. Though we declined room service, there was a surprise $10 per day housekeeping gratuity on our bill when we left! (The Management removed it.)

My wife and I went for an extended weekend. Loved the Inn. It's rustic but well put together. Excellent room. Excellent service. It is central (as is all Lake Placid) to hikes and the surrounding Adirondacks. Would highly recommend staying here. I would avoid the restaurant though.
