Really feels like a big bed-and-breakfast, run very informally by Ingid, who is very friendly - sometimes perhaps TOO friendly. Hallways and rooms are crammed with cutesie knick-knacks. Beds aren't as comfortable as you'd get at a major hotel chain, but the proximity to the mountain can't be beat - literally 1/4 mile down the road. Not many options for dinner close by, but enough to get by for a few days. The 8 mile drive into Lake Placid can be treacherous in the evening, depending on the weather - winding, hilly and dark country rode with 50 mph speed limit. But the views out the back windows and the location for skiers are fantastic.
