Perfect location & beautiful lake views. Resturant staff friendly & good tasting menu. Comfortable bed, bahroom small & could use exhaust fan & grab bar in shower (for Seniors) - but not a big deterrent. Definately a good choice if going to Watkins Glen State Park to see Gorge Falls, many local wineries & breweries as well.

This little place was great! Lovely views. Kind of mid century modern motel chic. It was perfect for a few nights. The common area deck w Adirondack chairs was a nice bonus. Room had a fridge and microwave, which were appreciated.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The room has a beautiful view and the hotel is conveniently located close to downtown. However, the balcony had quite a few spider webs and didn’t seem to have been cleaned properly. The fire pit on the deck was never turned on and there weren’t really many usable amenities during our stay. Overall, the view and location were great, but the amenities and outdoor areas could definitely use more attention.
