Staff friendly. People outside their room on shared balcony conversing “loudly” until I called office at 10:15 pm. They continued arguing in their room until I called at 11:15 pm. No sleep. In lobby it sat quiet hours were from 9pm-7am. That should be posted in balcony and in rooms.

Nice room. Comfortable bed. Short walk to the lake with our dog. Overall, a good stay except for another guest chain-smoking cigarettes on the deck outside our room. We, along with several other guests enjoying the view, got up and left. We had to keep our sliding door closed, it smelled so bad.

The place is ok. There is some on-going construction around the property. I would not depend on their ‘breakfast’. It includes muffins, oranges, and bananas.

It was comfortable.

The condition of the bathroom is deteriating. The cold water in the sink sprays out from the handle when turned on, and the shower walls are comming loose allowing for water to possibly get behind them. Near the toilet i recognized this.

The view of the lake from the room was outstanding.It was so pleasant to sit on the balcony and enjoy our morning coffee. We were in Watkins Glen for Captain Bobs Dinner Cruise which was just a short ride away I would definitly recommend a stay at this hotel. Very basic but adequate.

Very nice location with beautiful view. Just a bit difficult to walk up and down due to the steep hill. The Tiki bar had excellent service and food, but not good for anyone with mobility issues. The water pressure was low too. But would still stay here again because of the comfortable beds and view.

I found the hotel at the last minute after "checking in and then out" at a previous location-see review :( Friendly staff, great location and gorgeous sunrise view from my balcony. Will definitely be back!
This was literally the first thing I saw when I opened my curtain to look outside.
