Great stay…

Cute hotel right on Lake Seneca…staff were very friendly and accommodating. Hotel rooms are dated, walls are VERY thin, but it does look like they in the process of updating. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Great location and great value.

Staff friendly. People outside their room on shared balcony conversing “loudly” until I called office at 10:15 pm. They continued arguing in their room until I called at 11:15 pm. No sleep. In lobby it sat quiet hours were from 9pm-7am. That should be posted in balcony and in rooms.

Nice room. Comfortable bed. Short walk to the lake with our dog. Overall, a good stay except for another guest chain-smoking cigarettes on the deck outside our room. We, along with several other guests enjoying the view, got up and left. We had to keep our sliding door closed, it smelled so bad.

The place is ok. There is some on-going construction around the property. I would not depend on their ‘breakfast’. It includes muffins, oranges, and bananas.

It was comfortable.

The condition of the bathroom is deteriating. The cold water in the sink sprays out from the handle when turned on, and the shower walls are comming loose allowing for water to possibly get behind them. Near the toilet i recognized this.
