We were pleasantly surprised by this business. It is an old motel that has been thoroughly updated. The rooms were in very good shape, and clean. The view of the lake from the balcony was excellent. And the restaurant on premises was surprisingly good. I would go here again.

Nice little motel just a short drive to Watkins Glen State Park and local restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable, and the deck area was a great place to relax with a view of the lake. A peaceful and convenient spot for a Finger Lakes getaway!

When I first pulled up, I’ll admit I was a little unsure—the outside has that old roadside hotel look. But once inside, I was pleasantly surprised! The rooms have been completely updated, modern, and spotless clean. It’s right on the water, which made the stay even better. What started out with hesitation ended with me being very satisfied and happy I chose this place. We even ate at the restaurant overlooking the lake and it was fabulous!

The view is worth it. Food at dinner was very good. Room nice esp with balcony. Shower needs a rail to hold on to. Very slippery and unsafe with no where to hold on to at all.

Nice motel outside Watkins Glen with wonderful lake views. Rooms were renovated and clean but seemed to lack some finishing touches. Stayed during the week and place was very quiet however the staff at check in was more concerned with watching his inappropriate music videos on TV than checking me in or providing much information about the hotel. While just outside of town it is definitely not walkable to downtown
