Clean room with beautiful views to Seneca Lake with helpful staff from the front desk to the cleaning lady that we’ve met and the waitress at the restaurant. Sunrise was gorgeous from the back porch. Only ate breakfast there… food was decent with good portions. The bathroom could use an improvement ( shower door is only partway shielding the floor so it gets wet when one uses the shower) and no vent so the glass gets steamy. Otherwise we had a decent, enjoyable stay.

Stayed for 2 nights. The 2 room king was perfect as we had friends also staying at the hotel. After a day of visiting breweries, we were all able to get together and end the day hanging out in the living room. View of the lake was amazing and the location is perfect.

The restaurant is overpriced with a limited menu, and doubtful quality of food (found a hair in the meal) though it’s very scenic and service was good.

One of my favorite hotel in the area. The view is amazing, you can see Seneca Lake from your balcony and window. It is a retro hotel and I like how clean the place is! They also have a nice deck where you can get a drink! There is a restaurant onsite, we didn’t try this time, but next we will definitely will!

Perfect weekend getaway location. Situated near Watkins Glen, the Hotel is situated on the west bank of Seneca Lake. Our room had a full view of the lake, and a private patio from the room. Has a bar and restaurant on site, with great meals and a wonderful, caring staff. While the bones of this place are an older brick construction "roadside motel", our doom was completely.renovsted, and had all th emodern ammenities one would expect at this price point. A great place to stay in the area.

Staff was super friendly, on site restaurant had great food with good sized portions for the price. The views of the lake for morning sunrise was worth it alone. Will stay there again.
