I found the hotel at the last minute after "checking in and then out" at a previous location-see review :(
Friendly staff, great location and gorgeous sunrise view from my balcony. Will definitely be back!
The view of the lake from the room was outstanding.It was so pleasant to sit on the balcony and enjoy our morning coffee. We were in Watkins Glen for Captain Bobs Dinner
Cruise which was just a short ride away I would definitly recommend a stay at this hotel. Very basic but adequate.
It was clean, nice view but doesn’t set on the water as expected.

Very nice location with beautiful view. Just a bit difficult to walk up and down due to the steep hill. The Tiki bar had excellent service and food, but not good for anyone with mobility issues. The water pressure was low too. But would still stay here again because of the comfortable beds and view.
Staff was exceptional. Room was large and comfortable.

The staff is remarkable and the Tiki Bar had amazing burgers… it’s kind of outdated and the breakfast is coffee and tasty cakes… we stayed just one night so we could hike the falls and it was perfect for that! The view of the lake is pretty.
Always a Great Weekend in the area...So Happy to stay at the place that "holds" our favorite TikiBar :) Just wish they wouldve been open more this year
Clean and modern room. Shared balcany faces east for morning sunrise over Seneca Lake. Not a 5-star place but good value.
Tikt Bar is good, standard fried bar food seems to dominate food menu. Nice people. It was very hot during our visit and the bar was not air conditioned, but it's also a marina so one can tie up a boat at the dock for a cold one!
Parking: the hotel is up a steep incline, and there is current construction above the 1st tier room rentals. Thus the drivewaty is not the best, so be careful and take it slow exiting onto the road as there is a deep swale where the driveway and road meet (lots of gouges in the pavement for those who took it too fast). Parking otherwise adequate.
Our hosts were super friendly and very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay. We will be back
