Clean, new, modern lodging - definitely more of a camping/lodging feel and bends more toward adults. Enjoyed the communal spaces and the cleanliness, and especially the friendly professionalism of staff. The only issues we ran into were adequate parking (during Eclipse week), a loud side door that awoke us early, and the desire for a place to put our clothes/luggage once in room. They are minimalist which we enjoyed, but still including as part of the feedback.

Parking was difficult at times. We were there for the eclipse, so expected it to be busy. But I would imagine that there will be similar problems during the summer. We had a problem with upstairs guests letting their children run and jump all over until midnight. Our kids were in bed by 9:30 ready to sleep. This disturbance was very annoying. We did mention it to the reception staff. The second night was better, but still went on late. Your lobby area is lovely. I imagine that you will be successful in this location. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We are likely to return later this year.

With the lack of restaurants in the area (at least with large capacity), an on-premises restaurant would have been nice.

Disappointing, misleading and ill equipped for hospitality. Leaving unrested, anxious and furious. The experience of this hotel equates to sleeping on a friends couch during a house party, but with better pillows. Within two hours of checking in I felt entirely unwelcome and mislead by bluebird and asked to leave. I am worse off for having stayed here, and wish I just got right back on the road rather than try and get any rest here. I work in hospitality and have never written a review before, but this is genuinely the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I will be forwarding more details elsewhere. The complete lack of respect from other guests and lack of accountability/reinforcement from staff with the failure to offer me a way to get out of this environment has been detrimental. I am very upset and will be seeking a refund. The limited assurances I was given regarding quiet hours (as the bare minimum) weren't even followed up on. For a space that has undergone such extensive and intentional upgrades in todays hospitality climate, I am shocked by the lack of care and protocol in the remaining areas of this business. I feel stuck in this hotel that I cannot enjoy or rest in. If I could afford to just buy another hotel room anywhere else I would. I paid a premium for a beautiful hotel that fell flat in every other category. I have a more detailed review speaking to these issues that I will be following up with.

I had stayed a few times at this hotel years ago, before it was the Bluebird. I was completely shocked to walk in and see the transformation. The attention to detail regarding the decor and the ambience is amazing. We stayed in the king suite and it was simply the cutest. The fact it was so affordable was the icing on the cake. I will definitely recommend and stay at the Bluebird in the future.

They gave us the room in the first floor and it was too noisy whole night and day. People on the second floor was making noise and we couldn't sleep all night. It's like live on first floor of the apartment. I complained to the staff but they said they can't do anything about it.

Good Afternoon,We are so glad that you decided to stay with the Bluebird Hotel in Lake Placid, NY! It is unfortunate to hear that your experience was not as pleasant as we would like it to be. We had a sold out weekend with a Hockey group which may have led to the excessive noise. We do have Quiet Hours from 10PM to 7AM and try our best to implement these hours for all guests. Once again, we do apologize for the experience and we would like to rectify this if you were to book with us again.Thanks,Front Desk

Wonderful location, beautiful hotel, but the staff was either not present, confused or disinterested in hospitality. Coffee was not available until 7:30am and ran out quickly, the bar was understaffed or not open at all, and the staff was generally aloof. Our room had a slow draining song and the bathroom door lock was loose - both of which I informed the staff about but went unresolved over the course of our two-night stay. Under the right management this would easily be a 5 star hotel.

Modern Mountain Hotel with great design details and sitting areas. Hotel is still under construction and parking was limited or non existent during the holiday weekend. Location is awesome and walking distance to downtown Main Street. With luck, you’ll have lake views. Walls are thin and windows are original. If you don’t mind the noise, this is a great spot.

I loved the new look of the place. The staff was friendly and helpful. The fire place adds a nice touch to the relax atmosphere. My room was comfortable and clean. Daily housekeeping was provided and I really enjoy that service. They don't seem to be done with the renovations yet so if you need to use your room during the day I would ask for a room away from where the work is done. Also in a great location. You can walk everywhere and easy parking. Overall I did enjoy my stay. Price was reasonable. I recommend this hotel and would go back

Hundred or so kids on property running through halls making noise. Booked first floor and was asked to move, would be an upgrade. Put us on third floor, I’m five weeks into full knee replacement and elevators were not working! Fire alarms went off on two separate occasions. There was no attempt to control the kids!

Hi Alan,Thank you for this note. First, we hope your healing process is coming along and apologize that our being in the process of launching some of our mobility conveniences created friction. Second, please accept our apologies for any disturbance you encountered via your neighbors. We bill ourselves as being a family-friendly place to stay, though, it’s important to us to enforce mutual respect between guests of all ages. It’s clear additional work should have been done to that end. We would have loved to have more fully impressed you and hope to someday get that chance. Until then, know that we’re forever here for you in the heart of Lake Placid. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
