Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We got a room that was rather underwhelming for the $200 we paid to stay at this inn. It was very small, very dated, with a bunch of stuff put on top of each other to save space - microwave in front of A/C unit, tv on top of dresser hiding the mirror. Some of the outlets didn’t have a cover and the carpet looked very old and musty. The inn doesn’t offer extras like toothbrush and toothpaste that we forgot - instead we were told that there was a Walmart down the road to get what we needed. I would expect this place to charge $100 at the most for a night. The only plus was the location and easy parking.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Inn is really adorable but definitely needs some updating. The room had beautiful wallpaper, cable tv, and air conditioning but the carpets were torn in spots and they felt dirty. The bathroom floor was also so sticky, my feet were dirty after walking around barefoot. There is also no outlet in the bathroom and there’s no full length mirrors. It is self check in and there wasn’t any people around, it didn’t feel very welcoming. Our mini fridge in our room froze everything we put in overnight. Having the ice cream parlor and room with games and books was a great touch, very old town charm. Location is prime. Walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park, Lake Seneca pier, and lots of restaurants and shops right on the same road. Free and easy parking.

We didn’t like that the house keeping did not come to clean the room and the bed was not at all comfortable (the mattress needs to be replaced). The bathroom was very conjusted.

We got in super late, but the directions for entry were fairly simple. We met the proprietors the next morning and we laughed about it in the morning. Nice place to stay.

This property is old and the room clearly showed it. There is need for remodeling. Thought it was overpriced. The only positive experience was that everything is in walking distance (the State Park, the lake and downtown).

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
