This was our first stay at the Grand Adirondack, it had been recommended by a friend. We were certainly NOT disappointed! From check-in to check-out the entire experience was wonderful. The staff were very helpful and considerate. The location is excellent, the room was one of the finest we'd stayed in, the beds were very comfortable and we both slept like babies. Some may complain about having to pay for the valet parking, but it was worth knowing there was 24-7 security in the parking lot. There was no complimentary breakfast but we were fine with that, it gave us options to go elsewhere. Overall, a 5 star experience. It will be our first choice on our next trip to Lake Placid!
