Top Northwest Ithaca Hotel Reviews

The Falls Motel - 2 Mi to " Watkins Glen State Park, Seneca Lake " AND 4 Mi to Watkins Glen International Track " The Glen "

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean but when you walk in there is a very musty smell. Probably because it is an old motel. Beds were very comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was very minimal, coffee, juice, granola bars, maybe something else but can’t remember. Overall it was a very good stay."

The Hotel Laurel at Seneca

10/10 Excellent

"Great views, and great time!"

Rustic, Cozy Cottage with Backyard Waterfall and Cayuga Lake Views!

8/10 Good

"The apartment is nice, a unit attached to the main house and consists of two main rooms: a bedroom with a large double bed for 2 adults, and a living room with two pull-out sofas for 2 kids, though it felt a bit crowded for us. The kitchenette is equipped ok and includes a kettle, toaster, microwave, oven and coffee machine. The bathroom was on the smaller side, but there were plenty of towels and extra sheets provided.The apartment is located at the end of the street, which offers great privacy, and sits right next to a small waterfall with a constant relaxing sound of water.Overall, it is suitable for a short stay of 2–3 days max."
