Just a simple roadside motel. Right across the street from Seneca Lake, all of the rooms have a beautiful view. The name “gorgeous view motel” fits. The people that ran, the hotel were absolutely friendly and helpful, the room was simple, but clean, the bed was comfortable, it had a microwave, a fridge and a coffee pot, and the Wi-Fi was fast enough to stream video. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you.

No pets. But we don't travel with pets. No smoking, but we don't smoke anyways. Wish they had a pool, but the view of the lake and all the fireworks was awesome! They even did fireworks in their own front! Easy to get in, out, and comfortable. 10/10!
