Well, it is not Saranac Lake, but close! I recdomend The Red Top in in Tupper Lake. The owner, Jay, is an ice fishing (and all around fishing) maniac. Tupper Lake is just across the road. His number is 518-359-9209. What more could you ask for than a motel owner who shares your passion and is a hell of a nice guy? I think you will like it there.
