On the strength of a suggestion at the N.Y State Welcome Centre at Canadian border we decided on the spur of the moment to make an overnight stop in Skaneateles: a charming town we will be happy to revisit but not to stay at the Birds Nest Motel. The lock on our unit was defective making it extremely difficult to... more

If you like cockroachs and Poop this is the place for you. The abrasive, very rude owner, Robert Evans, makes your stay very uncomfortable. Its amasing he has any guests stay a second night. They have a dog who lives on the property, but the management doesn't clean up after the dog reliefs himself. There are more cockroachs here, then... more

Birds Nest Motel was highly recommended for its price and convenient location. The property was quite cute, but casually managed and not properly cleaned and maintained! We have never been so disappointed by a travel experience like this. We suffered from headaches and respiratory distress as a result of our severe allergic reaction to the allergens in that dirty room... more

The power went out during a heavy rain storm. We checked out a day early at noon because we were traveling with our elderly Mother. She physically could not... more

The maids turn off the a/c when they clean the rooms, 5. There is no refrigerator or microwave 6. The pool is nasty 7. Don't take... more

This motel Me and My husband didn't even get to stay at the Birds nest because the VERY rude owner/ manager "Mr. Evans" Screwed up our reservation night which happened to be OUR WEDDING night so at 8pm on a holiday weekend we were forced to find a place to stay ... we did end up finding a place to... more

My wife and I were looking for a motel as we drove through NY state. It was getting late and we found The Bird's Nest Motel. For $79 +tax ($90)/night we weren't too impressed. Unimpressive: 1. Sound: The wall are very thin. We were given the keys to the first room and when we walked in the room we could... more
