The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, but the covers were thin with no additional blanket. The views were beautiful- This place has huge potential if the owners paid a bit more attention to the overall property appearance and the restaurant quality

Great view!

The hotel and restaurant were good and in a very convenient location. The views were great! Our room was on the lower building in the back, while the room was clean the space next to it was not updated and appeared to be a work area.

This hotel is wonderful! The room was clean, linens in great condition and bed comfortable. There's plenty of hot water and good water pressure. I never heard those staying next to my room!!! The view of Seneca Lake was so relaxing. I would stay here again.

Loved the balcony overlooking the lake! The restaurant is only open Wed-Fri so we missed that experience. Convenient to the places we wanted to go. The GM-Hayley- was helpful, friendly and laughed at all of our jokes! Very pleasant!

Nice hotel cabin style with balcony and views of Lake Seneca about 1 miles from downtown Glen Watkins; easy access and nice renovated rooms - there is a restaurant on site and check in is until 9 pm so one needs to make arrangements for late check in. Easy access to the famous state park and the gorge trail. Would stay again if in the area.

I loved our balcony but would have loved even more to be able to order coffee/breakfast to the room. I think room service would be a great service with the kitchen being upstairs.

Easy parking, nice little balcony with a lake front view, large community deck, courteous staff, recently renovated rooms. I would have given this hotel 5 stars across the board, but I noticed a couple of strands of womans hair on the bathroom floor, most likely from the previous occupant.
