It was a very good location cl9se from all of our destinations. The room was clean, updated and comfortable. The great perk of this place is the amazing view from every single room from the terrace and the restaurant.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, but the covers were thin with no additional blanket. The views were beautiful- This place has huge potential if the owners paid a bit more attention to the overall property appearance and the restaurant quality

Great view!

The hotel and restaurant were good and in a very convenient location. The views were great! Our room was on the lower building in the back, while the room was clean the space next to it was not updated and appeared to be a work area.

This hotel is wonderful! The room was clean, linens in great condition and bed comfortable. There's plenty of hot water and good water pressure. I never heard those staying next to my room!!! The view of Seneca Lake was so relaxing. I would stay here again.

Loved the balcony overlooking the lake! The restaurant is only open Wed-Fri so we missed that experience. Convenient to the places we wanted to go. The GM-Hayley- was helpful, friendly and laughed at all of our jokes! Very pleasant!
