This property is not a Ritz Carlton, or even a Hampton Inn. It is a small motel with sparse amenities and a bit rough around the edges. We had a space heater in the room, much needed as the trip was cold and rainy. What this place does offer is a friendly staff, perfect location for visiting Watkins Glen state park, and nearby main strip of restaurants. Literally 2 block walk to the park, no need to drive and park. Also plenty of decent eats within walking distance, AND a good brewery! Mario and his crew were friendly, helpful and responsive, I highly recommend this place for a couple day visit to the park and surrounding areas. If you require upscale, perfect accommodation, this may not be the place for you, but it was perfect for our visit.

The noise from the Main Street was horrific. Even with blankets over windows and ac running to mitigate noise, there was barely sleep. Only after 3 am when truck traffic and locals were asleep did it quiet so the kids could sleep. My family didn’t stay the second night and found other accommodations. Due to paid in full ahead of Time, attempting a refund for 2nd night but it may be lost. It was worth finding other accommodations and spend more than to remain. The inn keeper made a special remark that it’s a 7 day warning to cancel the second night - how was I suppose to know 7 days ahead of time at a place I’ve never stayed… that it would be the worst night sleep at a lodging I’d ever had to cancel the second night. Very little empathy, especially for the kids. The inn was nice otherwise and enjoyed the building and history. But I’d not be returning. I do hope this posting is kept up for others to read, and I’m sure others had a better experience. But not for the other two folks I spoke to in the hallway the next morning. Wish it was better - was excited about the place.

Staff was fantastic and location was within walking distance to everything. I do know that there is remodeling going on but Room 8A very dated. Questionable stains on old carpet, bed had big dip in middle and window AC did not fit window properly so flies entered and had to put towel up. The rocking chairs in front were a great place to sit and enjoy the amazing ice cream.

We enjoyed the cozy little room and the creamery on site! Would recommend Nickel’s BBQ in town as well as the Blackberry Inn Cafe for breakfast. The hotel is close to the state park and they let us keep our car there even after we checked out. Would highly recommend!

Quaint little place. Loved the keyless entry. First time ever doing such, I was glad help was on site when needed. Beautiful room, wonderful attentive staff. Ice cream couldn't be closer. It was amazing. I will stay again.

We got a room that was rather underwhelming for the $200 we paid to stay at this inn. It was very small, very dated, with a bunch of stuff put on top of each other to save space - microwave in front of A/C unit, tv on top of dresser hiding the mirror. Some of the outlets didn’t have a cover and the carpet looked very old and musty. The inn doesn’t offer extras like toothbrush and toothpaste that we forgot - instead we were told that there was a Walmart down the road to get what we needed. I would expect this place to charge $100 at the most for a night. The only plus was the location and easy parking.

The Inn is really adorable but definitely needs some updating. The room had beautiful wallpaper, cable tv, and air conditioning but the carpets were torn in spots and they felt dirty. The bathroom floor was also so sticky, my feet were dirty after walking around barefoot. There is also no outlet in the bathroom and there’s no full length mirrors. It is self check in and there wasn’t any people around, it didn’t feel very welcoming. Our mini fridge in our room froze everything we put in overnight. Having the ice cream parlor and room with games and books was a great touch, very old town charm. Location is prime. Walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park, Lake Seneca pier, and lots of restaurants and shops right on the same road. Free and easy parking.

Very cozy stay and absolutely prime location for going to Watkins Glen SP. I walked there from the inn, only took a few minutes. Will definitely stay again someday!
