Other than its actual existence began in 1960, seemingly every other 'fact' about the Lake Placid Tower contains conflicting information. It's either 240 ft or 270 ft tall. It's either made from concrete blocks, reinforced concrete, or limestone. It may or may not have been the world's greatest concrete block building when it opened. The tower was built to capitalize on the 40 mile scenic view and the numerous lakes and caladium fields that surround Lake Placid, on the Central Florida Ridge. The tower closed to visitors in the early 80's due to lack of interest. Ownership changed hands and the tower began receiving visitors a couple years later. The tower is closed seemingly for good as of sometime in the 2000's. The structure that once touted the "highest payphone in Florida" now operates solely as a cell phone tower. #Trovember

We love that it was pet friendly, but you could definitely tell that the area that was pet friendly was not as nice as the rest of the hotel. The front and foyer of the hotel and the lobby is really pretty! They will bring your breakfast to your room in the morning.

The absolute worst place I’ve ever stayed in. It was so bad, I didn’t even stay in the room. I had to leave. It’s in a terrible part of town, there were people doing drugs on the balcony in adjacent rooms. Homeless people in the parking lot and the area asking for money. There were cars parked in ...

We had a proper suite with unusually large rooms, nicely done. The bathroom was totally modern and elegant. The bedroom window had a fine view over the lake. There were two annoyances. The two queen beds were so close to the wall that access from the wall side was awkward and uncomfortable. The room ...
