We had an amazing stay! The room was spotless and had a stunning view of the lake. The hotel is conveniently located near Watkins Glen State Park, making it easy for us to explore. The staff went above and beyond, leaving jazz music playing and chocolates on our bed when we returned from dinner. It was such a nice touch!

Nothing, all excellent.

We had a fantastic stay in this hotel. The rooms were very clean, and we enjoyed the amazing view of the lake. The hotel facilities were top-notch, especially the spacious fitness center. The location was perfect, right by the lake and within walking distance to Watkins Glen Park and some of the best wineries in the area. The breakfast options were extensive, and we even had the option for room service. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond by scraping the snow off our cars. Definitely one of the best hotels we've stayed at!

My stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my entire visit. They even upgraded my room so I could be closer to my friends. The hotel itself was beautiful and well maintained, with comfy and spacious rooms. The location was perfect, with stunning views and easy access to the nearby state park. The morning in-room breakfast was delicious and convenient, allowing me to start my day off right. All in all, this hotel provided the best getaway experience I could have asked for.

Almost perfect. I only wish there were more parking spaces available.
