Not the Marriot, but it served our purposes. Needed a good place to sleep and facilities operating at standard. It met that for a reasonable price...

The hotel was perfectly located (next to Casa del Sol) and in walking distance to Mountain Mist. The breakfast was a complete rounded selection between healthy and yummy. In our room we had a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. There’s an indoor pool with an outdoor patio. About 1/2 mile away is an Aldi and a dollar store. Great for families making their own meals. We went to LaBella’s and Casa; both winners. I will be back. Love Saranac Lake and this hotel.

Price was our reason for choosing this hotel. Parking was plentiful and free. . No elevator to second floor, which was a bit of an issue for one of us, and tiled stairway was slippery. Rooms were clean and comfortable. AC worked great on a hot summer day! Towels and sheets were worn, but clean. This hotel is a good choice for a basic stay, if you don't expect luxury amenities.

The beds were comfortable, and the bedding was clean. There were enough towels and washcloths for the three of us. The breakfast was OK. They did have a waffle maker there, but I did not use it. The indoor pool is not heated so it was cold. Some of the doors were rusty. The carpets definitely need an updating.. The staff was helpful. it was OK for the money paid.

The beds were comfortable and the room reasonably clean, but lacking. The facility needs an update as the carpet is worn and faded. A general refresh would lift this facility up to a more appealing destination. It was okay for a one night stay, but not great.
