The hotel was perfect for our friend’s weekend. We had excellent service and meals in the restaurant. Great breakfast and dinners. The views of SENECA LAKE from our room and deck area were fantastic! We will definitely be returning! Hoping that new igloos will be available for outdoor entertainment. It would also be great to have a space within the hotel for guests to gather with key/code access with extended hours. (Bar/lounge area)

The view of Seneca lake is priceless /spectacular. The room was spotless, and the bed was comfy- had everything you need. There are 3 different levels that provide views to the lake. I think I would have liked the balconies best but I chose the suite which was nice. Note this is an older hotel that has been remodeled, and I found no issues at all. There is no room service or phone in the room. It is a quiet area with food options about 6-10 minutes away in the main area of town. everything was closeby.

We had the suite rooms on the ground level. Rooms were clean, fun, brightly coloured and good sized rooms. View was not as good as the 2nd floor balconies, but a few steps off the patio and toward the lake were beautiful. We were very happy with our room. Unfortunately, we were there in off season, so we were not able to experience the dining room.
