Location is perfect!!! Building is vintage and charming. Rooms as okay, beds were small. We got the twin room. It was clean!
Breakfast was lacking. But take your coffee outside and sit on the Adirondack chairs and look at that beautiful lake.

We enjoyed our stay, the room was spacious and clean, the bed comfortable. We ate a delicious dinner on the porch, service was very good. Our view was wonderful. The staff was very friendly. I really enjoyed the woodwork and old fashion furniture- perfect for a Adirondack stay. The only thing I would suggest, put hooks on the bathroom doors and perhaps more variety in your breakfast choices.

Upon arriving I was surprised to find the Inn in a state of need. The young man who checked us in was super friendly & offered to help with our bags. Our room was exactly as described & pictured online. It was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was clean & towels were available. I thoroughly enjoyed the balcony - it was a great reading spot and I soaked up the early morning sounds out there. The Adirondack chairs on the lawn are very inviting and the view is exceptional. Check in/check out we’re really easy online, but the personal touch at the door was warm and welcoming.

First thing to understand: this is a historic building. It’s very old and so the floors and the stairs creak, the doors make some noise when being pulled shut to lock, and you can hear people talking in the hall (or room above in our case - not enough to hear word for word). It is not a Holiday Inn but it is enchanting and has loads of character.

In speaking with others and asking around, the owners are relatively new (this year) and are rapidly working to correct work that had neglected to be done previously. Right now the restaurant and tavern are not open but the repairs should be done soon. In talking with the manager, they have great vision and are making repairs as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is going to be beautiful so have some patience and bear with them. I cannot wait to see the strides they make by our stay next summer.

The property is on a beautiful spot on 4h lake and close to town so you can walk to just about everything. The staff was friendly and tried to be helpful.
Sadly, the property has fallen into disrepair since our last visit 13 years ago. The window screens all had holes in them, the floor was sandy and not clean, there was no hot water and even the bathroom hot water faucet had no water coming out of it. The medicine chest was broken. The place needs a real overhaul and much attention to detail.
I did appreciate the friendly staff but it seemed their hands were tied.

The property is located on a unique piece of land. The \"backyard\" area opens up to the lake and it is very peaceful to sit there and watch the sunset. So, A+ there.

In July of 2026 they are doing construction on the restaurant. I'm glad to see this place get some needed TLC in the form of capital investment. The downside is there is no breakfast or anything like that. There is a coffee shop within walking distance that has breakfast items. In the morning, there is a line out the door. Super popular place. I can't recall the name of it,but it shouldn't be hard to find.

The biggest downside here is that all the rooms are on the upper floors and there is zero AC. Also, no elevator or anything to help you schlepp your bags up the steep circa late 19th century staircase (not the typical 7x11 risexrun that became standardized since WWII). We were there in July and it was only mid 70s in the day and upper 50s in the night and our room was sweltering. If they ever add AC, I'd go back. If not, then not. At least not in July.

Booking on line makes it difficult to properly assess your stay. The questions you can’t or want to ask go unanswered and you’re left with surprises. No a/c and it was 90 and muggy, no real access to the lake and no pool and being on the 3rd floor (45 steps) made for a very uncomfortable night.
I liked the 2 foreigner students that are the staff and enjoyed the location even though there was no tv in the room. Weather aside, I liked the place!!

A very old and even historic hotel lacking a lot of the amenities which I understand no TV in every room no air conditioning obviously no elevator which is kind of tough if you’re carrying large amount of luggage up three floors. Rooms are very small which is typical due to the historic cage I’m not sure if I would stay here again
I wanted to do some work in the room at night but the roads were just way too small no desk etc.
there are other places around inlet old Forge which have much better accommodations

The property is in need of general maintenance. It needs a new coat of paint inside and out. The dust and spiderwebs have accumulated between the plumbing and the ceiling. The spindles on the stairs dangle from the railing . This old house has settled so much, that there was a 2in slope from ons side of the room to the other.

The location within Inlet is fantastic - walking distance to everything (i.e., coffee house and bakery). Also, its situation on the lake is lovely for evening drinks or just seating on the shore.

The cleanliness of the rooms wasn't ideal - floor was dirty, a couple of dead cockroaches, and the 2nd day we had no hot water.

Service wise, the people were lovely. A few issues with the keys (which were new), but ultimately worked out and again with a smile. Dinner on the first night was tough as only one server and a full house, so we opted out as were told 30+ minutes for dinner service. So not that the staff there weren't nice - they were! Just not enough for the occupancy.

Hence a mixed review - positives and negatives. Price would lean it towards the negative.

Two out of three windows in this corner room did not have screens during the blackfly season. No fan of any sort or air conditioning. No hairdryer. No phone, no clock, Space heaters, the mattress was a saggy, overaged with a foam topping added, so it became soft and soggy. Bathroom door doesn't close properly obviously ignored for years. I can understand rustic, but this room cost $235. Knock off $100 and it will be on target. In fairness, all of your staff people were very helpful and polite.

The hotel has a nice outside area to look at the lake. That’s about it however. The hotel is BADLY in need of renovation. Rooms have broken furniture, dirty and THIN walls (you can hear thru them), doors have trouble locking, no elevator (you need to walk about 33 steps to the 2nd floor). It needs to be closed for a total renovation. Beds have thin pads on top of old mattresses and curtains are ripped. Kind of a mess, sorry to say.

We were camping and left due to a storm coming. We had made reservations earlier for both the hotel and dining. The hotel we were told is recently under new management. As the hotel is very old it could use some updating and we hope the new owners invest in this property. There was no tv in the room which was a great chance to slow down and read. The food was very good and the staff and service delightful. We would love to come back in the future to see this gem restored!

The hotel location can’t be beat (right on the water), but as the other reviews suggest, it is in desperate need of refurbishing— especially the bathrooms, plumbing, and beds.

Great location in Inlet, NY on Fifth Lake. Dining room with limited days and hours offered excellent food. On some days there are no food options at the Inn. No breakfast ever, no coffee or tea station, but quick walk into town provides limited breakfast options. Quick walk into town provides Food Market and some dining options along with best soft serve ever at Northern Lights. The Inn is rustic and it sure shows that it has not had much done to it in about twenty years. It is a bit tired. Be aware that no air conditioning might be a problem for some. Plenty of parking, but EV chargers were out of service. Be prepared to haul luggage up many stairs, so travel light.

Adirondack Flavor- friendly but aged

The Woods Inn has good bones and Lake location and easy to be in the center of town quickly. The Inn itself is in need of general upkeep and getting rid of old furniture in the living room area. The mattress was tolerable, not great. We did not have an A/c unit in our room- we managed with the 2 fans and opening all the windows at night but be sure of what you are getting. They provide a 2 person coffee maker, no hair dryer, frig or microwave. One roll of toilet paper, no extras. The front desk was helpful in providing paper and ice when asked. The views and lawn are very nice. The tavern had good food the one time we ate at the hotel. The town park next to the property is excellent. Nice weed-free swimming area and new restrooms.

The staff was very friendly! The condition of the property poor. No food available in the morning except coffee. Old broken down and very worn. Room had USED toileties, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and no soap or tissues and low toilet paper on the roll with no extra in the room. Chair with no reading lamp. Fine dining? Paper table cloth with crayons and cheap utensils. Guests fighting and police called to the room next door around midnight. Not much sleep. Will never return.

The beautiful outdoor space and spectacular sunsets offset the poor condition of the Inn. However it is under new management so hopefully needed renovation will bring this historic place back to its glory days

The history of this property is amazing and the location and dock on the water can't be beat. Still a bit of work to be done with new ownership but I'm looking forward to see and stay here again in the future.

This is a great old hotel that was just transitioned to a new owner the day before we stayed for two nights. This created a had a few issues, our initial room was missing a screen on the main window - the staff made it right for us by moving us to another room - an upgrade from where we had booked. The dining areas weren't open yet however there were quite a few options for dining within a 5 minute walk.
The location is perfect and they have a great dock that you can sit on to enjoy the views.

Wonder historic property. Right on the lake. Our hosts were wonderful and welcoming. Sense of seclusion and serenity yet walking distance to the hamlet’s shops and dining. We’ll make this a new favorite.

Our room was freezing. Had the plug in heater going all night but you could feel the cold from outside. Never warmed up and we didn’t sleep only 3 hours.

There is no real staff. The dining room is closed, has been forever. The food is awful. We were served molded green parmesan cheese over an awful dish that was supposed to be a red sauce. Green cheese, and not even a discount or comp at dinner. Disgusting. Our room looked nice, good view, charming, till night and no heat whatsoever. Then the bed broke because the slats supporting the mattress were cut too short. I actually injured my shin. We moved ourselves to another room. After all that, instead of a refund, I was offered an electronic gift card for 50 bucks. This place was expensive, and I paid more for what was supposed to be a better room. Don't eat there, for sure! It's a charming, once magnificent, inn, that hasn't been maintained and is clearly just trying to get by until a new owner steps in. Amazing view of Fourth Lake from the rooms. Too bad it is run so poorly.

Beautiful property, absent innkeepers

Such a beautiful inn and the view- WOW! We wanted to love every aspect of this place but the guest service was lacking in fact, non-existent.
In our two night stay we never saw a person at the front desk. No one checked in on us or welcomed us to the inn. We did arrive very late and they were very accommodating with that though. We did meet a woman who we think may have managed or owned the in. But she did not introduce herself nor ask who we were or anything about us staying there.
It was not a cheap stay and I would have liked some attention at the very least followup after our late check in. The town must be very safe as all the doors to front and back of the inn seemed to be unlocked at all times.
We would give it a five star for the property and the inn. But a one star for service and hospitality.

The property was very nice a nd lent itself to a very relaxing get away for us. It is not overtly fancy and the amenities are sparse but clean and functional. Management was pleasant and very attentive. The one thing I disliked ws that the door to the room and the bathroom would not stay closed unless locked. There was also quite a large gap under doors so privacy was not as complete as it could be. Nonetheless, if you are looking to get awaqy from it all, this is a great location. Gorgeous lake front, food was surprisingly incredible! Wait staff was so very nice and pleasant.

Charm

The hotel is historic, and that also means it is old, so it shows its age in places but is nonetheless a lovely and comfortable place to stay. A low-key charm that isn't fussy. Definitely go out to the dock morning and evening!

Eat at the restaurant!

Beautiful old place, well-kept, but in need of some upgrades. You can’t beat the location and lake view. Our room required climbing four flights of stairs from street level and there’s no elevator. This should be made known to guests before they commit. Dinner was excellent and service top notch. Best meal we have had in the area in years. Wifi worked very well which was a lifesaver because phone and cell service was impossible. Reportedly there is a new tower being built to address that.
