Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino
I really enjoyed the stay! Room was clean, bathrooms in the casino floor was clean. Breakfast was good and hot! A few staff members shouldn’t be in that line of business. Most staff was friendly though!

Lake Placid Inn Main Street
The floors were dirty upon arrival and we did have an issue with used/ bad body odor smell with the comforter that was on the bed. We called and they arrange to swap it out. Also the pull out couch was broken and not a comfortable couch to lounge on.
