Clean and modern room. Shared balcany faces east for morning sunrise over Seneca Lake. Not a 5-star place but good value. Tikt Bar is good, standard fried bar food seems to dominate food menu. Nice people. It was very hot during our visit and the bar was not air conditioned, but it's also a marina so one can tie up a boat at the dock for a cold one! Parking: the hotel is up a steep incline, and there is current construction above the 1st tier room rentals. Thus the drivewaty is not the best, so be careful and take it slow exiting onto the road as there is a deep swale where the driveway and road meet (lots of gouges in the pavement for those who took it too fast). Parking otherwise adequate.

Watkins Glen stay

Clean room and good view from room of the water. But felt mislead in that major construction was going on around the property. The marina and Tiki bar were not connected to the Inn at all. You had to cross a two lane road, down several flights of stairs and cross train tracks to get to the marina/ bar. Inn is located in a residential area so not in walking distance to downtown but a short drive.

The hotel is a bit run down. The property itself looked like it was in the middle of a construction project. Our room was very clean but the hotel could really use a makeover.

The staff is remarkable and the Tiki Bar had amazing burgers… it’s kind of outdated and the breakfast is coffee and tasty cakes… we stayed just one night so we could hike the falls and it was perfect for that! The view of the lake is pretty.
