Watkins Motel

So glad we discovered this...

Liked: Very Clean. Very well maintained. All the furniture and every fixture was well thought out to make the stay pleasant. Great location directly across from the Watkins Glen State Park.
Disliked: Not a dislike, just information - it is an old building, so the rooms are a little smaller than in a new (soulless) chain.

You'll love it here! Great...

Liked: Our stay here was perfect - it's two blocks away from the state park, the rates were good, the room/linens/bathroom were clean, AC worked fine, hot water abundant, parking was convenient, and Katerina and her family (?) couldn't have been nicer or more helpful in making suggestions about what sites to see (and when to see them), eating options, and just general information about the area. Great place for a base of operations, and it had just rained so the waterfalls were all spectacular! The rooms were ground level, so no hauling bags upstairs. The town is very cute and good for a stroll, and there's Smalley's Garage auto shop next door who fixed our flat in 10 minutes. We hear the weekends when the racetrack is open makes the town very busy. We'll be back to stay here again!
Disliked: The town itself has a limited choice of food choices; mostly bar grill food or higher priced premium restaurants; there's also a Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, and a few ice cream parlors, and we did eat at the Italian and Taichi places which were good. We had brisket nachos in town that were not so good.
