Top Watkins Glen Hotel Reviews

La Tourelle Inn & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"X"

Arnot Grand Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The inside of the hotel was nice and clean. The property was taken over from another hotel chain. The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. As of right now the outside of the property needs attention. You can still see the outline of the previous owners name on the outside of the building. The parking lot could use a refresh as well. The included breakfast was good as well. I would stay there again."

The Benjamin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very comfortable stay. Super clean, beautiful bath and shower, nice living area. We loved the contactless check in and check out, though when we had a question or wanted to let the hotel know about something it was hard to get a hold of them. Overall, we loved it here and would stay again next time we are in WG."
