Close proximity to nearby restaurants, bars and breweries. Walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park. Room was clean. Property needs a little sprucing up, however I would return

Easiest check-in ever (as long as you followed the emailed instructions), and AMAZING location! Rooms are nicely updated very clean, too! Easy walk to Watkins Glen!
Zachary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Right in the downtown area. First floor of inn was noisy. Parking lot light shined thru window. Room was good but could use some updating and maintenance
LIsa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a very good experience. We got free ice cream for staying there which I think is like amazing other than that the room was nice very small very intimate, which is not bad at all. I would just say that they need a new AC and there wasn’t a mini fridge inside, so bringing food back was kind of hard to store other than that. It was a great stay walkable to the park walkable to shops. It was very nice.

4/10 Fair

Run down inn

I booked a 2 night stay but left after 1. There were no towels, took over a half hour to get them, finding anyone who worked there was near impossible. The room was run down, ill equipped and seemed dirty. A very uncomfortable experience. Good location. Great ice cream.
James, 2-night trip
