What Guests Are Saying

“We stayed at the Courtyard Lake Placid for a CAN/AM Hockey tournament. To the other reviewers, yes, we’re one of those parents. TO EVERYONE - Hotel is a few minutes away from downtown Lake Placid. It is not walkable. The rooms are dark and felt dated. They could use some updating. The Bistro is limited (more about that below). There is only one working elevator and one hot tub. There is a very large common area with fireplace. The entire staff was great. TO THE OVERNIGHT STAYING GUESTS - The hotel is a Host Hotel for many CAN/AM Hockey tournaments which is held most weekends October through March. If you are not from a hockey tournament or happen to be staying during the weekend of a hockey tournament, you will be upset. Services are limited including the Bistro for breakfast and dinner. Hockey kids will be taking over the pool, common area and the one working elevator. During a hockey tournament weekend, the hotel caters to these groups as this is what is keeping the hotel running during the off season. Also keep in mind, many of the other hotels in the area are also host hotels for these tournaments. TO THE OVERNIGHT GUESTS STAYING FOR HOCKEY TOURNAMENT - This is one of the many hotel options for the CAN/AM Hockey tournaments. Rooms were ready as our guests started to arrive (Noon). Check in was easy. Staff again was great. The provided food for the CAN/AM Package wasn’t very good. Dinners included Hot Dogs, Tacos, Chicken Fingers and Cheeseburger Sliders. You may be saying to yourself, my kids love these things. Yes, the kids didn’t mind but that’s also what the adults were served. Breakfast was repetitive and the same three items, Scrambled eggs, home fries and sausage patties…every…single…day… After night one, we knew what to expect and decided to eat our meals elsewhere. After talking to other hockey parents staying at different hotels, it seems many were disapointed with the food they were provided. The Bistro (Breakfast or Dinner) was not open if you wanted a “fresh cooked meal” even if you wanted to pay for it. Since the hotel caters to these tournaments, the kids are allowed to do whatever they want. Knee Hockey is encouraged in the hallways or the provided meeting room. Kids can run throughout the hotel without being yelled at. And parents have a very large common area to enjoy themselves. You’re also allowed to bring your own adult beverages which I know some places frown upon. I am sure CAN/AM does pay alot of money to host our teams and it seems the hockey teams get better treatment than the paying overnight guests. There is a fire pit in the back which you can ask to be turned on. We brought supplies for smores and that was an activity the kids enjoyed together. All in all, it is a great hotel for a hockey tournament, but keep in mind, the food provided was not great.” — DJDaveS2009, 4 stars

“We had a wonderful stay at the Courtyard Marriott in Lake Placid! The hotel was very comfortable and conveniently located right off Main Street, making it easy to access everything in the area. The rooms were spacious and cozy, providing plenty of room to relax after a day of exploring. However, the pillows were a major downside—definitely not the most comfortable and could use an upgrade. The on-site mini-mart was super handy for grabbing essentials, and the restaurant offered light snacks and a nice breakfast to start the day. If you’re looking for a convenient and cozy place to stay in Lake Placid, this is a great option (just consider bringing your own pillow!).” — Chan, 4 stars

“The suites are good value for a couple of nights stay in Lake Placid. Our suite was dated and looked the same as it did over ten years back. Definetly due for a refurb soon, however it was clean and comfortable and suited our purposes for a few days of R & R! As Titanium Elite members we would receive a basic daily breakfast at the restaurant just off the refurbished and comfortable Lobby area which features a huge stone fireplace! No doubt this is a busy place in high season, however our stay in the off season was quiet with few guests and quite relaxing, the pool and gym we had to ourselves and the hotel peaceful and serene!” — andy.karla, 4 stars
