The peace, space, location and support of the staff make that we enjoyed our stay and definitely want to come back here when we are in the area again. The only consideration for us was the AC in our room which was built in without rubbers which makes the frame resonate loudly.

The only reason I gave 4 stars for staff & service is because it's a self-service kind of place. You get a code for your door, which is also the code for the lobby which has ice, extra coffee and creamers, brochures, etc. The rooms are small but comfortable. The shampoos et al. are Beekman, which is a nice touch. We spent very little time in the room so the size didn't matter. If it had rained I think there were 1000 channels on the tv. The location is a short walk to the main area of Lake Placid and there's a very pretty bay with Adirondack chairs, canoes/kayaks and fire pits behind the property.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Townhouse Lodge, and overall, my experience was fantastic. The on-site staff were amazing and incredibly accommodating, even when I asked a million questions. Their friendliness and willingness to help made my stay truly enjoyable. However, there was a bit of confusion with the booking process. We originally booked for the Placid Bay Inn and were shown a room and location specific to that inn. Upon arrival, we discovered our room was actually at the Townhouse Lodge down the block. While this wasn't a huge issue since both locations are quite similar, it would be helpful if this discrepancy were fixed to avoid any future confusion. As a minor complaint (just being a girl), the rooms lacked full-body mirrors, which made it difficult to see myself properly. It would be great if this amenity could be added in the future. Despite these small issues, I had an awesome experience. The rooms were spacious and modern, and Miguel, the manager, was particularly great. Additionally, I loved having access to the boats—they added a fun and unique element to my stay. Overall, I highly recommend the Townhouse Lodge for its excellent staff, comfortable accommodations, and enjoyable amenities. Just remember to add some full-body mirrors, and it will be perfect!

The check in is very easy. A couple hours before check in you are sent a code for your room. They do not have a person on site but do have access to a number of things you might need. The property is right on the lake and the view from the room is great. Our room was small but comfortable. They have canoes and kayaks for guests to use. The down town area is easily in walking distance.
