We enjoyed our stay at the hotel, the view of the lake each morning was very nice. The room was large and the beds were comfy. The hotel is very close to Watkins Glen State Park.

The Hotel is clean and nice. Loved the funky retro vibe of the bathroom. My room faced the lake which was great. Close to Watkins Glen and many other cool things to see. Restaurant on premises. Staff was very friendly/helpful. Would stay here again when back in the area.

We enjoyed our stay. Can’t beat the view and everything was in working order. Need more help in restaurant (one server working super hard not enough for how many people were trying to eat).

We picked the worst room right next to the employee supplies and smoking area. Restaurant was short-staffed. Poor ladies were running around trying to keep up. Not their fault. Bathroom in the restaurant was not cleaned between evening and breakfast visit which totally grossed us out.

This place is not perfect, but I love it for the things you cannot get anymore at other hotels. The best part is the view over the lake, the patio facing the lake; you can open the windows. And they do a nice job keeping the rooms clean and fresh. Great people running the place too.

This property is right outside of the town of Watkins glen. Convenient to everything around it. The rooms all face Lake Seneca which is gorgeous to view from our porch. The room was clean and the staff were very nice. We had our own parking space right in the front of the room. It's an older motel but the rooms were updated with a fridge and a microwave. Great price also!

We stayed in a junior suite. It was nice to have the extra space. Actually 2 motel rooms. It was clean and comfortable. We did not like being on the ground floor. Our patio was right on the unpaved parking lot. If we sat out there we sat looking at our car
