Hotel North Woods, Ascend Hotel Collection

This charming hotel has a great location on the prime strip for lakefront restaurants and shopping. Decent views of the lake on one side and of trees on the hill behind on the other. The elevators are responsibly marked for one guest at a time (except for those sharing a room) in order to help encourage social distancing. There is some parking in the lot behind the hotel, but at busy times this may be in short supply. The mattress in our room was a quality memory foam type, which was a great relief after traveling.

Best parts;nn1. Location, location, location. You’re literally on Main Street and everything is within walking distance.n2. We were celebrating our engagement and received a bottle of wine and a nice card.n3. Decent size rooms.nnNot so good;n1. Hotel is outdated and old.n2. Spotted some hairs on our sheets.nnOverall, besides being outdated, the hotel served its purpose by being within distance of everything. It was nice walking around town, and not being far from your sleeping destination.

Amazing location right in the middle of downtown. Very dog friendly hotel, be prepared to see dogs everytime you walk around the hotel. I love how the hotel is themed to the surrounding area. The staff told us that they're about to undergo a huge renovation in the fall which will definitely serve the hotel well. Parking lot was full for most of the day, but there's a giant parking lot a couple blocks away that has free parking overnight from 6pm-1pm. Room was tighter than we expected and it sounded like our neighbors were in the room with us. Beautiful views of Mirror Lake. You either have a lake/downtown view or trees with a balcony. We definitely plan on trying this hotel out again after covid especially since the two restaurants were closed.

We stayed at this hotel just last night. The room was amazing. It was very clean and spacious. We had a king size bed and it was so comfortable. We will definitely stay there again!

I hate leaving reviews like this but I was highly disappointed this time staying here. I stayed here in October of 2019 and the experience was totally different. This time my room had a funky musty smell to it; even after I opened the windows. The other thing was the carpet was not flat. It was loose causing it to bubble up. Someone could easily trip on it and hurt themselves. I wish they had a desk in the room so I could have worked a little. The parking lot is terrible. If you are late getting there in the afternoon it fills up and then you have to go park at the city parking lot. The only reason why I gave it two stars was because of the location of the hotel. It’s nice to be in town and be able to walk everywhere.nnWhen I go to Lake Placid in the near future I don’t think I’ll be staying here again.
