I stayed during a snow storm with sub zero temperatures. In spite of this frigid temperature, the lot was snow plowed by the motel by 7am. The room and bed were comfortable and the shower/bathroom worked perfectly. A good stay.
My wife and I had business in Skaneateles and found the motel to be just what we needed for a simple overnight stay - clean, comfortable, convenient location at a reasonable price!
The “check in” was very easy and the family that runs it was very friendly and helpful - even when I lost my room key!
Thank you! We’d stay there again! 👍

The rooms are filthy, the mattresses were beat in the walls were paper thin.
I was arriving later than I thought and owner was very accomodating. The inn was very quiet and I got a nice night’s sleep. It is very reasonably priced.
Nice property, nothing fancy, but it had everything i needed for a comfortable stay. I appreciated the small fridge, the ample outlets, and the clean room.
I got ill and the mgr refunded my last night’s stay. Comparing the inn to nearby places, it’s a place to rest for a reasonable amount of money and close to the lake.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
good for a few nights
I would describe this place as adequate. Certainly not upscale, but comfortable enough for a few nights. Not great water pressure, but the room was clean and the bed comfortable
