Top Hector Hotel Reviews

Inn at Taughannock Falls

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very clean and tidy, and the beds were very comfortable. The outdoor area is beautiful and offers a wonderful view of the lake. There was live music that night it was spectacular. There are also attractions nearby, even within walking distance. Definitely a 10/10."

The Hotel Laurel at Seneca

10/10 Excellent

"What a gem of a property! I came to see what the other reviewers were talking about and it was worth it -- they kept the footprint of a typical motel from days gone by but updated it to suit the times and it was well done! looks like it was updated not too long ago. My other fave part of this property is the ingenious architecture enabling every room to have a lake view. It was really nice to watch the sunrise from my bed in the morning. We had two issues while there - one, we were awaken at 5am by trucks unloading supplies to the property restaurant... they were so loud it sounded like bombs going off. Very inconsiderate. The other very real issue is the bathroom -- it has no vents which means a steamy wet room and a bathroom smell eventually. So you try to fix it by leaving the bathroom door open TO YOUR BEDROOM and so the slight smell of the bathroom waffles into your living area. AND FOR THE OWNERS -- you really want to invest in a ventilator for your bathrooms or soon enough you will find the bathrooms (and eventially, adjacent walls to the main units) moldy. And when that happens, it's going to be a more expensive maintenance expense for your property. Good luck! Love your place otherwise! (p.s. location is great - just a short ride 5 mins from town)"
