We brought our two dogs. Room was great..kept them off the beds. Built on a hill so potty breaks were tricky. One small level grass patch, but we had a great time. Took the dogs down to the Tiki bar at night. Clean rooms and great view!

We did not receive any housecleaning service over the course of 3 nights, even though they said they were coming after the second night. There was an extra charge for 4 people in our room, even though we had a room with two beds. Can't check in after 8:00pm. Extremely steep hill to parking. Tiki bar is great.

Suite à l’annulation de dernière minute de notre véhicule de location, nous n’avons pas été en mesure de venir jusque dans les Fingers Lakes pour notre anniversaire de mariage. Nous avons appelé la direction de l’hôtel pour tenter de trouver une solution avec eux, pour décaler la location de notre chambre afin de nous permettre de trouver une solution pour venir. Malheureusement, ils n’ont pas voulu décaler ou faire de geste commercial. Nous avons donc perdu 2 nuits. Pour ce manque de flexibilité, je suis contraint de mettre une mauvaise note à cet établissement. Nous espérons venir visiter cette jolie ville mais nous séjournerons ailleurs.

More of what we would call a motel. Outdated, no amenities, bathroom tile a bit questionable. To be fair, this is a resort area and our trip was not summer.

Everything was more than appropriate, just that there was some type of construction going on directly in front of the building. Also, the angled parking spaces are not conducive for backing out and exiting the property, since they are angled away from the only entrance/exit that can be accessed. Everything else was great, and I would stay again.

We were able to check in early and unload our car and then visit wineries and dinner without having to break into our day. Rooms have been remodeled and are huge. The view of Seneca Lake from tge shared balcony is beautiful. The road to the Inn was paved while we visited, so it's very nice. Their entrance driveway is intimidating; not something that I'd like to drive on snow/ice. Our room didn't have a clothes rack; we assume it will be installed soon. They made sure we had plenty of clean towels. The water was hot and the pressure good in the sink, but the shower head/diverter should be replaced for a better shower experience. We would definitely stay here again. It looks like they are continuing upgrades, which is nice to see. Great value! They don't really have a breakfast, but the coffee is good, prepackaged muffins, fresh apples and bananas, and boxed juice. There are great diners not far away for great breakfasts. As a friend said, "this is a pre breakfast".

Clean and great view
Bare bones motel, but it was clean and bed was comfortable, great view. The price was right. Mini fridge and Microwave in the king room that we had. Not really walking distance to town, 2 miles to the middle of town but close enough to good restaurants, wineries, shops and the main entrance to Watkins Glen State park (which was awesome). The only downside to this place was the ridiculously steep and not well maintained driveway. If you have a large vehicle, RV, motorcycle you won’t like it! There was construction going on of new units behind the existing motel, but did not affect us at all. Cute Tiki bar/pub across the street.
Looking up the super steep driveway to new units under construction
