What guests think
Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort earns praise for its lakeside setting on Mirror Lake and walkable downtown location, friendly staff, and abundant waterfront amenities, while some reviews note event noise, occasional maintenance issues, and crowded pool or hot tub areas.
Many guests describe very clean rooms and well-kept grounds. Rooms are comfortable with lake and mountain views available, though some report very strong HVAC airflow and village-side outlooks toward the parking lot. Food at the on-site restaurant is well liked, but seating can be limited by private events and one hostess was described as curt. Expect a scenic, activity-rich stay in the heart of Lake Placid.

Its a great spot. Great amenities. I knew when i booked it would be village side. So be careful it could mean your window view of the villiage is a car parked up againts your window in the parkinfg lot . The lights over the bed are like spotlights so we had to keep those off and the curtain closed . I guess it would be good if i was vampire. Shower is amazing and bathroom loved it. Pool very nice. Hot tub as well. Kayaks on the beach. Nice fire tables to sit outside and havea drink. Very close to all.stores and generations restursant .

Everything was clean and the property had an amazing location and right in the lakefront! We thought the property could use some upgrades however, and we tried to enjoy the hottub at 9pm and all of the facilities were absolutely flooded with kids playing catch and we could barley find a spot to enjoy and relax.

The Golden Arrow was the most beautifully decorated place to stay in Lake Placid for Christmas. The great room was filled with real Christmas trees that smelled wonderful and made for the best pictures. The whole hotel was covered with lights. Our lakeside view room had a gorgeous view of sunrise on the lake each morning. The pool was warm and was our kid’s favorite amenity. Generations was accommodating and the food was delicious. We were there with a hockey group and the hotel staff were so nice to them and directed them to the gym/court for a safe place to play. The hotel had an indoor scavenger hunt for Christmas that our 7 year old had a blast completing while she was there. We could not have had a better stay.

Super enjoyed our stay at the Golden Arrow! We splurged on a room with lake view and it was worth it waking up to the serenity each morning. Only issue was a lot of noise from the weddings over the weekend that went pretty late, but also understandable - it’s a wedding and people were clearly have a blast. We loved the lake access and enjoyed using the kayaks and sup boards. Lots of boating equipment and safety vests - plenty for everyone so it was low stress. The beach and swimming area are lovely. Overall a great spot and we look forward to a return visit!

Overall a nice facility, one room we stayed in had a nice modern shower, another room we stayed in on the same price and spec had dated bathroom equipment. Paid a wedding price 4x above normal market, and room was right near staircase, many wedding guests weee using our hallway as dedicated loud cell phone conversation area. Asked staff about moving and Nathaniel said “wedding noise is everywhere, we can’t move you away from it,” however clearly my room was at a congregation area adjacent to lobby. Worst part was that clearly a human sewage line had failed somewhere and was dumping into the open sewer grate between the two EV charger locations in Garage B. Asked Nathaniel about the feces and associated aroma and discomfort, and Nathaniel scoffed, nothing he’d never heard that complaint before. No hospitality training it seems, as he rudely grazed over and said i could try to find charging elsehwere. If the sewer thing didn’t happen i’d be more likely to rate higher even at the crazy wedding price. Also left our dog at home because $300 for nightly pet fee on a $400 room charge that normally rents for $100 was crazy.

Parking garage was a challenge. If they are full, there is no exit or place to turn around - you have to back out. The parking garage is connected to the hotel, which is very nice. The Village side room was nice, clean and spacious. The hotel is conveniently located to the Olympic Center and for shopping and dining. There were many families lodging in town for hockey tournaments so it was not quiet when trying to settle in for the night. At one point the parents were in the hall yelling at their kids and eachother regarding an incident that happened earlier. We definitely expected it to be buzzing with families and kids running around, but the yelling parents was a bit much. Take it someplace private instead of in the hallway - not everyone is there for the kids hockey tournament.

The hotel is perfectly situated in the middle of town so you can walk to everything. Hotel was very clean and workers very friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Property is in a prime location and was very nice when built but is sadly in decline, beautiful oak furniture but finish ruined, bathroom door broken , shower would not shut off, toilet kept running, heat smelt, so bad had to turn off. Woman at desk didn't care. Was up sold the room and not worth the cost. Very nice location but tired.

Our room was great! Very clean and comfortable. It’s nice to be able to connect to our home subscription services on the tv by casting easily once connected to the WiFi. Our only complaint in the room was that it took several minutes of running the water to get hot water. The lobby and loft area is beautiful and very comfortable. It was the perfect area for me to do work while my wife was still sleeping in our room. The staff at the front desk was pleasant but divulged a few too many personal stories and complaints at too loud of volume for so early in the morning. Otherwise the lobby would have been a perfectly serene area to enjoy and work

A well located hotel right in the middle of town and if you’re facing towards the lake, extra beautiful and very quiet. The only thing we really didn’t like was the fact that the HVAC system blew so hard with the fan that it was uncomfortable to have that kind of heat. Thankfully, we didn’t need very much, but it was overwhelming and very loud.

We have stayed at the Golden Arrow before, but it has been many years. We came up for an event, but decided to make a little mini vacation out of it and booked two nights here. The pros definitely outweigh the cons. The room was clean and comfortable. I love the recycling efforts very much. They included some K cups and a little Keurig, which was great for our first morning when we needed coffee right away. Our view was excellent. The layout of this hotel is very unusual and we loved it. My son took charge and figured things out quickly and then directed us where to go. 😆. We tried to eat at the Generations restaurant, but the first night they had a Private booking so we went somewhere else- and the next morning for breakfast they had a full buffet for $25 a person, but we weren’t hungry enough to go with that. But the menu did look good and we would’ve eaten there if it had worked out. Now for the cons, I have almost nothing except that in the wall next to my husband, it must’ve been every time someone flushed or showered…It sounded like a waterfall in there. It startled us the first few times. The only other thing was kind of a weird sound in the wall behind the bed, not sure if it was somebody’s TV. So it wasn’t super quiet or insulated- but otherwise all good and the beds were very comfortable!

Our only complaint in the room was that it took several minutes of running the water to get hot water. The lobby and loft area is beautiful and very comfortable. It was the perfect area for me to do work while my wife was still sleeping in our room. The staff at the front desk was pleasant but divulged a few too many personal stories and complaints at too loud of volume for so early in the morning. Otherwise the lobby would have been a perfectly serene area to enjoy and work

Loved the room and location. The restaurant food was excellent. However the hostess was extremely rude. When were arrived the first time and were making our way to the bar area we were stopped and told that the bar was full and no tables were available. No let me see how long the wait would be. No let me put you on wait list. Just we are full. The next morning we went back over to attempt to get breakfast. Again bad attitude and we asked for outdoor seating. We were told only at the front on a crowded high top table. We decided that we would eat indoors. As we walked back we saw empty tables on the side veranda. We asked why we couldn’t sit there. The waiter said we could. Hostess followed us out there. I said “Here we go “ as I thought she was about to tell us we couldn’t sit there. We just sat down and we had a delicious breakfast. Our waiter was so nice and accommodating. Breakfast was perfect. Loved the restaurant. You need to retrain the hostess on her manners and lack of respect for your guests. We are there for a nice weekend and not to be treated so poorly.

Overall a nice facility, one room we stayed in had a nice modern shower, another room we stayed in on the same price and spec had dated bathroom equipment. Paid a wedding price 4x above normal market, and room was right near staircase, many wedding guests weee using our hallway as dedicated loud cell phone conversation area. Asked staff about moving and Nathaniel said “wedding noise is everywhere, we can’t move you away from it,” however clearly my room was at a congregation area adjacent to lobby. Worst part was that clearly a human sewage line had failed somewhere and was dumping into the open sewer grate between the two EV charger locations in Garage B. Asked Nathaniel about the feces and associated aroma and discomfort, and Nathaniel scoffed, nothing he’d never heard that complaint before. No hospitality training it seems, as he rudely grazed over and said i could try to find charging elsehwere. If the sewer thing didn’t happen i’d be more likely to rate higher even at the crazy wedding price. Also left our dog at home because $300 for nightly pet fee on a $400 room charge that normally rents for $100 was crazy.

They made a big deal out of wearing wristbands, but we never did see anybody wearing one on the premises. Loved that we had the ability to have the air fan on for white noise

Everything was clean and the property had an amazing location and right in the lakefront! We thought the property could use some upgrades however, and we tried to enjoy the hottub at 9pm and all of the facilities were absolutely flooded with kids playing catch and we could barley find a spot to enjoy and relax.

We absolutely loved our weekend stay at the Golden Arrow. Our room was perfect overlooking Mirror Lake (was able to catch a few weddings going on). The hotel is perfectly situated in the middle of town so you can walk to everything. Hotel was very clean and workers very friendly and helpful. We will be back!

A well located hotel right in the middle of town and if you’re facing towards the lake, extra beautiful and very quiet. The only thing we really didn’t like was the fact that the HVAC system blew so hard with the fan that it was uncomfortable to have that kind of heat. Thankfully, we didn’t need very much, but it was overwhelming and very loud.

The hotel is in the heart of Lake Placid within walking distance to restaurants and the Olympic museum. We had a room looking over Lake Mirror. All the staff were friendly and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the lobby, by the fireplace, looking at the lake and mountains through the huge picture window.

The Golden Arrow was the most beautifully decorated place to stay in Lake Placid for Christmas. The great room was filled with real Christmas trees that smelled wonderful and made for the best pictures. The whole hotel was covered with lights. Our lakeside view room had a gorgeous view of sunrise on the lake each morning. The pool was warm and was our kid’s favorite amenity. Generations was accommodating and the food was delicious. We were there with a hockey group and the hotel staff were so nice to them and directed them to the gym/court for a safe place to play. The hotel had an indoor scavenger hunt for Christmas that our 7 year old had a blast completing while she was there. We could not have had a better stay.

We have stayed at the Golden Arrow before, but it has been many years. We came up for an event, but decided to make a little mini vacation out of it and booked two nights here. The pros definitely outweigh the cons. The room was clean and comfortable. I love the recycling efforts very much. They included some K cups and a little Keurig, which was great for our first morning when we needed coffee right away. Our view was excellent. The layout of this hotel is very unusual and we loved it. My son took charge and figured things out quickly and then directed us where to go. 😆. We tried to eat at the Generations restaurant, but the first night they had a Private booking so we went somewhere else- and the next morning for breakfast they had a full buffet for $25 a person, but we weren’t hungry enough to go with that. But the menu did look good and we would’ve eaten there if it had worked out. Now for the cons, I have almost nothing except that in the wall next to my husband, it must’ve been every time someone flushed or showered…It sounded like a waterfall in there. It startled us the first few times. The only other thing was kind of a weird sound in the wall behind the bed, not sure if it was somebody’s TV. So it wasn’t super quiet or insulated- but otherwise all good and the beds were very comfortable!
