The TV situation was horrible! No way to watch live TV and missed Monday Night Football game. So bizarre. Although there is supposedly a continental breakfast, the day we went there wasn’t anything. The bed was nice as well as the location. That’s about it.

I really liked my stay there. The balcony facing the lake was beautiful and I couldn't believe how cheap, especially since we were able to walk down to the tiki bar! Pretty steep hill to get to parking. It is definitely dated. But our room was very clean. Everyone workingThe front desk was very nice and helpful.

It was an excellent stay. Very close to the town, beautiful views of the lake, and convenient parking. The room was quite spacious, comfortable and clean. Hotels.com says they serve continental breakfast here, but they don't. They have coffee, fruits and muffins for breakfast. If you're ok without breakfast, I would highly recommend staying here.

Nice hotel with a beautiful view of the lake. There is an opportunity to rent different boats, kayaks, canoes and paddleboards nearby. The balcony has no partitions. The beds are very comfortable. If you go down the steps on the lake shore there is a bar with live music and food. It takes 5 minutes by car to get to the city, restaurants, lake cruises and Watkins Glen park.

Great location on the lake!
The room was very comfortable with a great view of the lake. The location was perfect. We were able to bike to town in the mornings and use my kayak during the day. We enjoyed visiting the tiki bar and playing cornhole. We are already looking forward to our next trip to the Anchor Inn and Marina!
