"The property is just as described. We stayed in a king room and it was huge. The staff was so wonderful and helpful. Breakfast was great as well. And the view is unbeatable. It’s also close enough to the main attractions downtown without being in the middle of it. We would definitely stay here again."
"Im giving a low rating in service due to these items: Didn't put coffee cups for in room coffee. after cleaning room left room lights on with curtains wide open, this enabled passerbers to see directly in our room-while we were gone.
Toilet paper roll holder didn't hold Toilet paper on it.
Other than that we love this hotel, been there several times and plan on going back. (With my own coffee mug)"
"Old and run down. Tiny pool. Office reeks of cigarettes. Room had windows open and the AC off when I arrived and took a while to cool down. Room was clean but carpet was industrial."
"Very convenient location. Easy walk to Watkins Glen State Park (a must see!)
Brian (owner) was friendly, welcoming and engaging. Rooms were comfortable and breakfast (many locally sourced products) was delicious
Would highly recommend!"
