"Clean room, super friendly staff. Waffles for breakfast but otherwise not a ton of options. We've stayed here twice, and the only problem I can find is that there's no elevator. Thankfully we were just passing through for one night both stays but I would think twice before lugging in a ton of luggage for an extended stay"

The Hotel Laurel at Seneca

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend vacation getaway. We love this place! It's not the fanciest place on Seneca Lake, but for the price, the upper level balcony view of the lake is so worth staying! We spend hours just sitting and looking out (awesome morning sunrises.) The room is pretty basic but provides what you need. We chose the room with the king bed, very comfortable and plenty of pillows. The shower took a while to get hot, but then it was more than enough. Staff was pleasant and helpful and no breakfast is provided (Restaurant on premises.) Parking is right in front of unit so easy loading and unloading vehicle. Not the first time we stayed here and will not be the last."

"The location downtown & close to shopping, the lake, & the entrance to Watkins Glen gorge trail was outstanding. A QR code check in was not expected but the female employee working the creamery stepped up to help me with the process. There was no one working a front desk & no elevator. The parking spaces were extra small & cars parked over lines taking up 2 spaces. Young people were loud up until around 1am making sleep difficult. The room was clean & bed comfortable."
