We love Lake Placid and this the first time we stayed at the Grand Adirondack. the staff and Hotel itself were great and there were a few Comfortable “lobby” areas to sit at. the free coffee in the morning was great. The cons were they charged $24 a day for valet parking, which is obviously way too much for Northern New York. Also the drinks and food at the cloud splitter and Marcy bar Are also “New York City” type pricing. Hopefully they realize that there aren’t many people there because of the pricing and they lower them. We went to cloud splitter twice, and we were charged $18 for their house white wine, and when we looked up the bottle, the bottle was actually cheaper at all the liquor stores we go to. Same for the Bourbon, It was a cheaper Bourbon and it was a very weak pour. We were only two of six people on a beautiful, perfect day and the other day there was a big retirement party and when they left, nobody was there. It’s an amazing spot with an amazing view, but the prices are way too high.
