Quick Verdict: The Whiteface Lodge vs Lake Placid Inn Boutique Hotel

When The Whiteface Lodge wins: Choose The Whiteface Lodge if you want an all-ages, all-suite resort with a wide range of on-site activities (bowling, skating, water sports), a recognized 8,000 sq ft spa, and a heated indoor/outdoor pool complex with hot tubs and a private Canoe Club beach shuttle.
