A great hotel!

Liked: The room was really clean, and had a beautiful view of the lake. The beds were really comfortable. The balcony was wonderful for watching the sunrise. The breakfast was enough to get you going - coffee, hostess cakes, fruit and juice boxes. The people running this facility (and their dog!) are wonderful and empathetic. We were allowed to check out late due to a personal emergency, and seeing how distraught I was, the manager even tried to get me to stay longer and just have a rest. In a world of "let's use AI for everything" a bit of human empathy really goes a long way.
Disliked: Really the only point I could think that was negative - no coffee makers in the room. I like drinking coffee after 4 and that doesn't seem to be an accepted practice around Seneca lake :D easily solved by getting cold brew and storing it in the fridge.

Very good

Liked: Great location overlooking Seneca Lake. Close to downtown Watkins Glen and wine trail.
Disliked: The room was too dark. It can use a couple more lamps.

Not worth the amount charged.

Liked: View of lake and quiet
Disliked: Blankets were too small and I fought all night with my husband to cover myself. Carpet was ripped although mended. Balcony is shared no privacy. Woman checking us in was relatively new to area and did not have sufficient dining knowledge.
