I stay here often. It’s an updated drive-up motel and it’s wonderful. All of the rooms face the lake and have a patio. Plus it’s sooo quiet. Beds are comfy. Winter is definitely off season, but the wineries and breweries were open, and some good restaurants and coffee nearby. Self checkin was easy. A good quiet place to get away.

The room was excellent,only problem was the power went out around 4:30 called the office which was remote, not on site that it was out. The response was they would contact NYSG the power provided they confirmed the power was out in our area and didn't why or when it would come back on. The temp outside was in the upper 20s and the wind blowing.we informed them that we were leaving and asked if we could use this boooking for a later date, they said because it was through Expida they didn't know,

The hotel was perfect for our friend’s weekend. We had excellent service and meals in the restaurant. Great breakfast and dinners. The views of SENECA LAKE from our room and deck area were fantastic! We will definitely be returning! Hoping that new igloos will be available for outdoor entertainment. It would also be great to have a space within the hotel for guests to gather with key/code access with extended hours. (Bar/lounge area)

Good location. Room was clean and had standard necessities (iron,coffee pot, fridge, microwave, and bath toiletries). Would have liked to have an in room safe. Only had an electrical outlet on one side of bed. Overall well equipped.
