Our room at Friends Lake Inn had some kind of fungus growing on the wood floor outside of the the shower door. There were moths in the room and overall, the room was dirty. When we arrived (at about 4pm) there was no one at the front desk, just an envelope with our name on it. The security code for our room was in the envelope. The manager drove to the Inn and was very sweet and apologetic and refunded our stay. It's possible they have other updated rooms.

This hotel is beautiful, old style Adirondacks with cute rooms and great dining. While it is charming, the bed at least in the room I had was a springboard type of mattress you’d find at a koa camp. For the price to stay there I was shocked with it being one of the most uncomfortable sleeps I’ve gotten at any hotel and I travel a lot. Beds are an important piece to me. Aside from the super uncomfortable bed, the place was really nice. They didn’t skip on any Adirondack decor, the food for dinner and breakfast were superb and the people working there from the front desk, wait staff, and bar tender were top notch excellent. The bathroom and items they supplied were phenomenal as well. But truthfully as ideal of a cozy all Adirondack charming place as this is, I won’t return unless they upgrade their mattresses. If they do then I’d be back in a heartbeat!
