Lovely Updated Motel on Seneca Lake
Very nice updated motel with lovely, accommodating hosts. Beautiful view of the Lake from our room with outdoor balcony, too. Cute igloos are available with heaters for four to sit “ outside” and enjoy the day or evening. There is a restaurant but we did not eat there. We pull come back here again.

Beautiful views and rooms.
The hotel was so tastefully renovated and it offered nice amenities. The Owners were especially thoughtful in providing a private space for our extended family and friends to gather and they were kind and accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel.

Loved the views!
Check in was a breeze & the renovated room was nice & spacious. The view of the lake was amazing! We had breakfast at the on site restaurant both mornings & the service & food was excellent. Highly recommend the homemade sausage gravy! Improvements- The tv wasn’t a smart tv which would be preferred to access Netflix, etc. & there was no fan in the bathroom. The parking lot could use some repairs. There was hardly any guests which was quiet but on our 2nd night guests were put in the room between us & another room although there were many other rooms available. The guests were extremely loud. There didn't seem to be much sound proofing between units. Otherwise, the stay was great.

Only real issue is the heater in the room. Constantly fighting it to keep a steady temperature. Wake up sweating, then wake up freezing. Room was super clean and the view and location was perfect.

This property had a delightful retro vibe. It has been renovated top to bottom, inside and out, and has a perfect location on Lake Seneca. The views are spectacular, especially the sunrises. Every room has a view of the lake. Beds were comfy, rooms were spotless with good temperature control (and no musty or weird smell like you sometimes find in older renovated properties.) Super close to the charming town of Watkins Glen and only a 5-minute drive to Watkins Glen State Park waterfalls and hiking trails. Since the hotel is near the bottom of Lake Seneca, it’s close to the dock for harbor cruises and make a great base to explore wineries & breweries on both sides of Seneca. The onsite restaurant and bar had surprisingly good food. And the deck between the two buildings, which featured comfy chairs arranged around several gas fire pits, was the perfect hangout place to unwind with a glass of local wine at the end of the day. The only downside is that you’d hear cars outside when other guests came and went but the motel layout makes it really easy to take luggage in and out of the room since you park right outside the door to your room. I loved this place so much I bought gift certificates for holiday gifts for my adult kids.

Beautiful Place
This place is right on Seneca Lake. The rooms have balconies that overlook the lake and it’s a beautiful view. It’s conveniently located close to shops, restaurants, and wineries.
