The lake view was beautiful. They also had a fabulous deck area with tables chairs to enjoy the view and hangout at. Dining was convenient and could walk up to. Dining room had big windows and view of lake. We ate breakfast & diner there. Food was good. Very convenient to Walkins Glen park and downtown. Great location to many activities.

This property is right outside of the town of Watkins glen. Convenient to everything around it. The rooms all face Lake Seneca which is gorgeous to view from our porch. The room was clean and the staff were very nice. We had our own parking space right in the front of the room. It's an older motel but the rooms were updated with a fridge and a microwave. Great price also!

Very convenient place to stay, close to Watkins Glen and wineries. Great restaurant on site for breakfast or dinner. Beds were good, room and bathroom was clean. Outside light was bright at night and curtain did not block it out so that was annoying. Otherwise excellent and new large deck with lots of seating to sit out on and enjoy the lake views!

Great find in Watkins Glen! Newly renovated with classic charm. The rooms are nicely decorated and cozy. It’s a quiet area with all rooms viewing Seneca lake. We didn’t get a chance to try the bar or restaurant, but it looked like a nice spot. 5 minute drive to local restaurants and Watkins Glen State Park. Decent prices everywhere, too. The only thing I didn’t appreciate is that not every room comes with a balcony. Apparently they are only available upon request, which Expedia did not disclose. A lovely stay overall!

Liked: Amenities
When I first pulled up, I’ll admit I was a little unsure—the outside has that old roadside hotel look. But once inside, I was pleasantly surprised! The rooms have been completely updated, modern, and spotless clean. It’s right on the water, which made the stay even better. What started out with hesitation ended with me being very satisfied and happy I chose this place. We even ate at the restaurant overlooking the lake and it was fabulous!

The view is worth it. Food at dinner was very good. Room nice esp with balcony. Shower needs a rail to hold on to. Very slippery and unsafe with no where to hold on to at all.
