The rooms were clean and spacious. The view from the room was beautiful, those were the good points. The bad were; there wasn’t any ventilation in the bathroom which caused some problems for us in the room. You could hear everything in the room next door. We were there 4 nights housekeeping never came to check on room. Their parking lot and roads are in bad shape some major potholes beware in the dark.

The hotel is very old and has had an upgrade. The views of the lake are beautiful. The hotel is outside of Watkins Glen on the highway. Sadly our television did not work when we arrived and could not be fixed. We were given the option of changing rooms and then found out the room had not been serviced. We were in a suite with a kitchen but no implements, glassware, crockery etc at all in the kitchen and no tissues.
