The Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort Lake Placid offers traditional cozy accommodation featuring plush bedding and wood furnishings, along with en-suite bathroom facilities, free Wi-Fi, coffee makers, flat screen cable TV, private balconies/patios and Nintendo consoles. Upgraded rooms also feature whirlpool tubs, kitchenettes and fireplaces.

The resort offers a true lakeside getaway experience with a private beach area and lake ice skating during the winter months. Upgraded rooms and suites also offer real wood-burning fireplaces to warm up with. The property is also just five minutes' walk from the Lake Placid Olympic Village and the Olympic Speed Skating Oval.

The Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort features a Generations Restaurant onsite which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner options using locally sourced fresh and seasonal ingredients. Guests can also relax at the Straight Shot bar lounge or dance the night away at Roomers Nightclub, located on the property.

Room walls are quite thin in most rooms at the resort and do not offer adequate protection from outside sounds and noises, particularly coming from the onsite Roomers Nightclub and Straight Shot bar lounge. Light sleepers and families with young children should try to book accommodation further away.

The resort features a Generations Restaurant onsite which is separately owned and run from the resort itself. All meals including breakfast are available through the restaurant only and therefore no complimentary breakfast option is on offer.

The resort elevator is very noisy and can drastically effect the quality of stay for anyone booking a room close to the elevator should be aware that the elevator is mechanically quite loud. Some room en-suite showers also seem to suffer from low water pressure.
