We were not expecting a whole lot from this place but we got great value and a pleasant stay. Our room was neat, clean, and comfortable. Excellent shower. Good "expanded continental" breakfast. We found the manager helpful and accommodating. There was some road noise but we weren't bothered by it. Recommended for a simple, clean place to stop on a... More

Reserved room over phone, quoted one rate, when we arrived charged more, no explanation, owner/desk clerk very curt. When we turned down the bedspread it had nasty stains on it. Towels also stained. When we complained to the owner/desk clerk, no apology, again very curt. Did replace the bedspread but no discount offered. We have stayed here before and originally... More

Good location for a wine tour base but the room was pretty dirty. Like disgustingly dirty. Uncovered stains on the box spring. Brown stains on the cover blanket and a dead bug in the lampshade. Make sure if you stay here you get drunk enough on your tasting to not care.

Nice hotel for limited amount in the area. Older hotel but it was clean and neat. Very nice landscaping. Staff was very friendly and available for our late arrival. Unfortunately on a busy road and not within walking distance to town.

We were looking for a cheap one night option in the area. This hotel was pretty much what we expected. Service was good, rooms were clean and breakfast was included. Our only complaint would be the musty smell in the rooms and the less then scenic highway location.

For our needs this room fit nicely. Clean, a lil cramped, think cause we got the king size bed, and enough cable that we caught the end of a good movie and had news in the morning. Nice owners. Located in town on the main drag close to everything we came for, Glenora and Bully Hill winery's. Wanted to walk... More

We'd stayed at this hotel two years ago and were happy with the visit, but this time around we were less impressed. First off, when we arrived we asked for a room with a microwave. The owner said that only across the street at their other hotel could we get a microwave. Then he said that the room had 2... More

It was a budget inn in every sense of the word. Clean basic room. No frills. If you are looking for anything else you will be disappointed here. The staff were very friendly, the street though is very noisy with a lot of heavy truck traffic throughout the night. Make sure you pack your earplugs.

This is a nice, clean, family run motel located across the street from a supermarket, drugstore, and liquor store. There is a family restaurant a block away and the Watkins Glen business district is only 3/4 mile down the road. There is free wired internet service in the room, and wi-fi internet in the newly renovated annex across the street.
