Nice hotel

Hotel was just right. Had a great view of the lake and was easy to get places-but had to drive to all locations. Not a walkable area

I loved the view across the lake. I was very disappointed as one of the sites i looked at showed a pool. When i got there it was covered by a huge deck. Nice deck but no pool.

Nice little motel just a short drive to Watkins Glen State Park and local restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable, and the deck area was a great place to relax with a view of the lake. A peaceful and convenient spot for a Finger Lakes getaway!

Good value, clean and close to most attractions

This place is located 5 minutes from town for some great food choices, the theater was in town, swimming at the state park as well as parking to hike the gorge. Our room had been renovated recently but the facility itself looks outdated but looks like they’re in the middle of remodeling. The place was quiet we could not hear our neighbors. There’s a nice deck with chairs tables and benches to sit and watch the water. The was a good price for a clean just outta town place to stay. Definitely book the room with the view.
