The restaurant is overpriced with a limited menu, and doubtful quality of food (found a hair in the meal) though it’s very scenic and service was good.

Friendly, helpful staff. The rooms were very clean, comparable and roomy. It was nice having your own private balcony with a beautiful view overlooking the lake. I would definitely stay there again.

One of my favorite hotel in the area. The view is amazing, you can see Seneca Lake from your balcony and window. It is a retro hotel and I like how clean the place is! They also have a nice deck where you can get a drink! There is a restaurant onsite, we didn’t try this time, but next we will definitely will!

Great view of the lake on the balcony. Very private, clean and well appointed room. Parking was convenient and short drive to downtown shopping. The breakfast was very good at the inn, I would recommend for a reasonably priced motor inn in Watkins Glen.

Perfect weekend getaway location. Situated near Watkins Glen, the Hotel is situated on the west bank of Seneca Lake. Our room had a full view of the lake, and a private patio from the room. Has a bar and restaurant on site, with great meals and a wonderful, caring staff. While the bones of this place are an older brick construction "roadside motel", our doom was completely.renovsted, and had all th emodern ammenities one would expect at this price point. A great place to stay in the area.

This was the perfect getaway with for my boyfriend and I. Absolutely stunning view of the lake, with a comfy and clean bedroom. The balcony/porch was the best part to be able to enjoy a calm peaceful morning watching the sunrise.

The view was great. Too bad it rained the whole time. The little covered deck worked well. My tv didn’t work but it got fixed. They didn’t serve breakfast as advertised. The ice machine was a little walk up the hill. Was surprised the front office was closed at times but that also was advertised. It was quiet and clean. Very comfortable beds and pillows.
