Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort

Hotel was very clean aned the staff friendly and helpful

It was next to everything, we walked to everything, we parked our car and forgot about it the whole trip. The view from the room was amazing, and the staff was so friendly and very willing to offer suggestions of places to dine. I highly recommend this hotel and will be coming back to stay here.

Wonderful value: gorgeous views, great location, beautiful pool and beach, very family-friendly. We will definitely stay here again!

I would not hesitate to return to the Golden Arrowhead Hotel for a much longer stay the next time an opportunity comes my way. At any season it seems to be an almost perfect street and lake-side base for some of the most relaxing and outstanding scenery, and health-inducing activities, in the country! Looks like a great place for family vacations. I would recommend it to anyone for a good, relaxing, Americana time. read more

A beautiful hotel inside and out located in the heart of Lake Placid! The lobby was beautifully decorated with a rustic yet modern feel. Our room was very pretty, clean, and comfortable. It had a balcony which boasted a gorgeous view of Mirror Lake.

Great location, great service. In the heart of lake placid. It's the only place I would stay while in the area.

My bad first impression was almost entirely overcome by the end of my trip. I took a winter trip and when I opened the door, I saw salt tracks all over the floor. Further, the heat was all off and so my room was about 40 degrees and took nearly 2 hours to fully heat up to the 70 or so I was looking for. The last of the bad impression was made when I discovered that only one wing of the hotel had wireless internet and that the extended stay suites did not. Fixes--once Sunday morning came around, many cars left and that freed up a number of spots (and it turned out that my suite actually had a reserved spot--it was just being used when I arrived), so parking was much less of a hassle. The room was spotlessly cleaned during the first day's service. Temperature held out once it came up. Wireless internet was available in the lobby/common room. Good stuff about this hotel: location is great. Smack in the middle of lake placid allows walking to nearly everything (so once you park, you may not need to drive your car again the rest of the trip). There is a shuttle available to whiteface mountain. The pool/spa area was clean and in good repair. Attached restaurant, bar/nightclub and mini-strip mall allow a variety of activities without going outside if weather becomes bad. I estimate about 40 restaurants within about a 20 minute walk and about 10 of them are within 5 minutes. I ended up paying about $15 a night above what I would have paid for the economy-lodge about a mile outside town which was much more than worth it. This hotel will be at the top of my list for my next lake placid stay. Highly recommended. read more

Loved it, would stay in it again gladly while on business or personal travel. The most fastidious of travelers might not prefer it's mom-and-pop feeling.
