What guests think
At Prescott House ADK, guests highlight a historic, character-filled building with very clean, cozy rooms, a friendly caretaker, and a quiet, walkable location near downtown, offering good value for budget-conscious travelers seeking a simple, welcoming base.
Shared bathrooms are generally easy to use, and guests appreciate access to a communal kitchen and coffee. The mostly self-service setup and email-based check-in work smoothly for many, though a few report confusion or limited on-site assistance. Some rooms can run warm or lack full AC, a few beds feel uncomfortable, and TV/cable availability varies. Best for independent travelers comfortable with shared facilities and a home-like, historic environment.

Our stay at Prescott House was a delight. The house is unique, cozy, and welcoming! The onsite manager was friendly and available, and we had everything we needed. The large bathrooms are shared, but the doors can be locked for quick showers, and there are also a few private half-baths (and one private shower) scattered throughout the building. Our room was a little bit musty and had not been updated like some of the other rooms, but it was clean and very affordable and met all our needs. We appreciated the coffee station and porches, the window a/c unit for the hot nights, the opportunity to meet other guests, and the fascinating history of the house. I would be glad to return. Thank you!

Great alternative to a hotel. Sharing a bathroom was fine-never an issue. Clean and comfortable, affordable setting with interesting history. Not posh or luxury and would strongly recommend!!

Clean room, easy check in. Basic room but access to fully equipped kitchen. More suitable for younger people doing sporting activities than a senior couple touring. Quirky. No issues at all.

This was a clean Hotel and comfortable. check in was very easy as there was no staff to interact with. I just checked my email for instructions which told me my room number and key location. the shared bathrooms/showers was interesting but doable and there was adequate number of house slippers to get to our room.

We loved most everything about this place. From the historical building, to our room (The Baker Mountain Room), to the added touch of Starbucks & Dunkin Donuts K-cups & a Keurig in the front room 24/7. John, the caretaker, is amazing. He helped us out when our car got stuck and he is a great host. We visit a relative in Saranac twice a year and we definitely plan to stay there again.

We spent one night in Saranac Lake, where hotels run from posh resorts, to a little scary looking. This place is fine - nice room and great rec room downstairs. Our caretaker was friendly and helpful. The only downside was we visited during a heat wave and there was no AC in our room, only a fan. I recommend this place for a short stay.

The manager ( John ). Was very rude when questioned about getting clean towels and overall lack of housekeeping. Furnished with Vintage furniture in poor repair, the desk litterely collapsed while sitting at it. TV didn’t work, Manager claimed that was bc our room doesn’t have cable, despite there being a cable attached . Undoubtedly one of the worst places we have ever stayed

In its previous life it was a tuberculosis sanitorium. Rooms are named for the mountains in the ADK. There is a property manager, John, on site, but check in is dependent on receiving an email with information about your room #, etc. I found the confusion of guests when they first arrive is calmed by guests who have already gone thru the process and help them understand how it works. Outdoor shoes are to be left in the main porch, and only indoor shoes are to be worn inside. Do not lose your key or lock yourself out of your room; there may be no one on site to help you. No one enters your room to empty trash or make beds or change out towels during your visit. The parking lot is rough, so it's best to unload your car at the door and then park. I opted to pay at the facility, however there isn't a way to pay there. They should remove that option on Expedia, because I am still trying to find a way to pay for my stay after I have departed. They have yard games and a pinball machine in the basement. They are located very close to the Adirondack Rail Trail, so it was a great place for us to be.

Our stay at Prescott House was a delight. The house is unique, cozy, and welcoming! The onsite manager was friendly and available, and we had everything we needed. The large bathrooms are shared, but the doors can be locked for quick showers, and there are also a few private half-baths (and one private shower) scattered throughout the building. Our room was a little bit musty and had not been updated like some of the other rooms, but it was clean and very affordable and met all our needs. We appreciated the coffee station and porches, the window a/c unit for the hot nights, the opportunity to meet other guests, and the fascinating history of the house. I would be glad to return. Thank you!
Our stay at Prescott House was a delight. The house is unique, cozy, and welcoming! The onsite manager was friendly and available, and we had everything we needed. The large bathrooms are shared, but the doors can be locked for quick showers, and there are also a few private half-baths (and one private shower) scattered throughout the building. Our room was a little bit musty and had not been updated like some of the other rooms, but it was clean and very affordable and met all our needs.

Clean room, easy check in. Basic room but access to fully equipped kitchen. More suitable for younger people doing sporting activities than a senior couple touring. Quirky. No issues at all.

We loved most everything about this place. From the historical building, to our room (The Baker Mountain Room), to the added touch of Starbucks & Dunkin Donuts K-cups & a Keurig in the front room 24/7. John, the caretaker, is amazing. He helped us out when our car got stuck and he is a great host. We visit a relative in Saranac twice a year and we definitely plan to stay there again.

The location was excellent as it's closeness to downtown was great 👍 👌 😀!! It takes a little getting use to having open bathrooms but it's possible. All things being equal this was quite an Enjoyable stay!

Beautiful old building, nicely redone. Very basic amenities, but very clean and well-kept. Bring your own TV service (Roku, FireTV, etc.) as there are TVs in every room but no TV service. WiFi is free, though. Location is very close to downtown Saranac Lake and in a very quiet neighborhood. We loved sitting out on the 2nd floor porches.
