We loved the view and the community deck. The rooms are supposedly upgraded. They need more. A person can’t even sit on the toilet comfortably as it is right up against the wall and the seat is falling off. When we asked after 2 days to have our room made up, they didn’t change the sheets. The ice machine and garbage are a hike up a steep hill as is the restaurant. Not worth the price. The restaurant was okay & nice to have there but limited hours.

We really enjoyed the view of the lake from the balcony. The parking was nice as you could park right in front of your door to unload everything. This was convenient since we were on the second level with a balcony. No stairs came into play.

The building with the rooms sits below the road, making it quiet and providing a lovely view of the lake from your window and balcony. The carpet, furniture, mattresses and furniture are all brand new and the beds were very comfortable. Large TV, lots of drawer storage, and a larger mini-fridge. Although the bathroom was small, the new fixtures were high quality. The restaurant is new also so it has a limited menu and days open, but the view is great and the food, drinks, and service were excellent. We stayed 3 nights in Mid-August and enjoyed our stay.

This property has the loveliest views of Lake Seneca. Siting on our private balcony, my husband and I enjoyed quiet reflections, bird watching, and luckily for us, a double rainbow! A beautiful moment and a beautiful setting.

The view is fantastic.The restaurant was good. Rooms clean and updated. Good location just out of town. Very disappointed the new ownership did not keep the racing theme with photographs and history of the racing drivers who enjoyed staying there in the 1960's.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The room with the balcony overlooking the lake was beautiful. The staff was friendly. The location was perfect to get to Watkins Glen and all the wineries overall, it was a wonderful experience.

The view from the room is amazing and the private balcony is great to have. The room was small but clean and was perfect for a solo traveler for one night.

Located near the town of Watkins Glen. Good views of Seneca Lake from the balcony. Bathroom was good. Parking was convenient. The room was quite small. With two queen beds, there was not much room to maneuver. The front desk staff was very courteous and helpful. Several wineries within a short distance.

The room was clean but smelled. We could not figure out what the strong, unpleasant oder was. The bathroom had NO counter space. No place for your bathroom items. The bed was very noisy. It made crunching noises when you rolled over. You were assigned parking spots per room. Ours had a big mud puddle on passenger side. We would not stay there again.
