Nice hotel cabin style with balcony and views of Lake Seneca about 1 miles from downtown Glen Watkins; easy access and nice renovated rooms - there is a restaurant on site and check in is until 9 pm so one needs to make arrangements for late check in. Easy access to the famous state park and the gorge trail. Would stay again if in the 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.

I loved our balcony but would have loved even more to be able to order coffee/breakfast to the room. I think room service would be a great service with the kitchen being upstairs.

Easy parking, nice little balcony with a lake front view, large community deck, courteous staff, recently renovated rooms. I would have given this hotel 5 stars across the board, but I noticed a couple of strands of womans hair on the bathroom floor, most likely from the previous occupant.

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.

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.

Clean room with beautiful views to Seneca Lake with helpful staff from the front desk to the cleaning lady that we’ve met and the waitress at the restaurant. Sunrise was gorgeous from the back porch. Only ate breakfast there… food was decent with good portions. The bathroom could use an improvement ( shower door is only partway shielding the floor so it gets wet when one uses the shower) and no vent so the glass gets steamy. Otherwise we had a decent, enjoyable stay.
