    Value for money

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The room was clean, new, and comfortable, with a very comfy bed and flawless air conditioning. The staff was friendly and accommodating, always making sure I had everything I needed. The location was super convenient, within walking distance to restaurants and a beautiful state park, and almost directly across from the park's entrance. Plus, it was just a short drive to wineries along Senaca Lake.

Couldn't find any faults at all.

The location of this hotel is perfect for exploring the park or downtown. It is incredibly close to Watkins Glen State Park, making it convenient to walk there or to the downtown area. The staff at the hotel were fantastic, providing helpful information about the area and accommodating any requests I had.
