Recent Reviews in Watkins Glen

Microtel by Wyndham Penn Yan Finger Lakes Region

8/10 Good

"Traveled to Penn Yan for a wedding and only needed a room for the night. Booked an early check in and they waived the fee. They also let me do a late check out at the last minute. Very close to all the main restaurants in the area. You can literally keep your car parked at the hotel and walk. No complaints about the hotel at all."
