The only good thing about this place is all walking distance especially The Watkins Glen State Park, dining and shopping

8/10 Very good

Pros: Proximity to downtown and Watkins Glen Park. Loved the door lock access code process which removed need to check in at desk. The staff member that met me there was great. Cons: Very basic amenities, but the pictures in their site are accurate. If you are someone who wants the Hilton treatment this is not for you. P.S.: my stay was during off season and they were remodeling the rooms in the Inn. Would I stay there again? If I was traveling alone, yes. If traveling with a family (even just a spouse), no. That might change depending on how the remodel goes.

Property seems very good for the money. The check in and check out is very user friendly and easy.

8/10 Very good

Room was ok - clean and with all the amenities. Only issue is that - at least in the main building - walls are paper thin so the moment your neighbors wake up (next door or upstairs ) , your sleep is over . Also very high-tech - check-in via email and ets with entry codes for the doors so make sure you are ok with the modern tech .

The owners are fantastic! The ice cream was delicious! You can’t beat the location! The facilities were old fashioned, but well cared for. And I feel they compensated for that with a very reasonable price.
