I loved the view of the lake from our balcony. The deck overlooking the lake with the chairs and gas fire pit was really cool! The bathroom was a little small and the glass around the shower did not go all the way back, so the floor got wet back there. A glass door would have been better. The staff was very nice, but we could not check in until the restaurant opened, there was no one there. We enjoyed it there, though, it was very relaxing.

The Hotel is clean and nice. Loved the funky retro vibe of the bathroom. My room faced the lake which was great. Close to Watkins Glen and many other cool things to see. Restaurant on premises. Staff was very friendly/helpful. Would stay here again when back in the area.

We picked the worst room right next to the employee supplies and smoking area. Restaurant was short-staffed. Poor ladies were running around trying to keep up. Not their fault. Bathroom in the restaurant was not cleaned between evening and breakfast visit which totally grossed us out.
