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.

Good, but expensive

It is an older hotel, but renovated. It was pretty good, but not worth the $136 plus it cost.

Dining room had big windows and view of lake. We ate breakfast & diner there. Food was good. Very convenient to Walkins Glen park and downtown. Great location to many activities.

Clean, cozy room with a beautiful balcony. We also loved the communal deck space, which has a gorgeous view of the lake. We used the tables during the day and the fire tables at night.

Enjoyed this property with beautiful view from our balcony of Seneca Lake. There are lower rooms, but those would have cars parked where you sit outside your room. I would return and stay again, but only if I could get a balcony room. Staff was welcoming, personable & professional. Spoke with servers, maintenance, front desk check in, etc. ALL were exceptional and I look forward to staying here again. Such a convenient location to downtown Watkins Glen and sights in the surrounding area.

Great location with an amazing view. Close to shops and plenty of wineries. This is a great location if you plan to be out and about all day and just need a place to sleep and shower. There is a small fridge/microwave and coffee maker. The restaurant on side was nice with a great view of the lake. A little expensive and a very limited menu. There is a patio area with seating and gas fire pits. Would definitely consider staying again.
