Great Location & Excellent Service!
The manager/ employee on site was very helpful with local tips, served us ice cream an hour before their shop opened, and the stay was comfortable/ convenient to walk around town because of the location

Stayed here for one night during IMSA races. Room was fine and clean. Nothing special but bed was comfy and a/c worked well. Whole online/virtual check in thing was a little confusing at times but I eventually figured it out and property did respond to my questions. Creamery built in to hotel so it did get a little noisy at times but by bedtime all was quiet. Also it’s a perfect location in heart of Watkins Glen

Really liked the contactless check in and the codes for each individual door, that was nice. Even though we didn’t follow it correctly the first time the staff were so incredibly patient and helpful!! Would definitely come back!

Good location. The room was moldy and musty with lots of cobwebs. Extremely tiny shower. Furnishings were outdated. Not what we expected. We left after one night due to mold and mildew.

We found bedbugs in our room. Thankfully, it was right when we arrived. The staff did not give us any trouble with cancelling and refunding our money. The room had a bad smell, the windows would not lock and the blinds were broken. Overall, the place needs a major makeover and deep cleaning. Would not recommend.
