FOR THE EXPENSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.
Pros:

BEAUTIFUL VIEWS OF SENECA LAKE. THE ROOM WAS QUIET AND SPACIOUS. CAN TELL IT WAS REMODELED NOT LONG AGO.

Cons:

THE ROOM DID NOT SEEM SUPER CLEAN LIKE I YEARS PAST. THE PRICE IS TOO MUCH FOR THE ROOM/ AMENITIES. BREAKFAST IS NOT GREAT, BUT RESTERANT WAS CLEAN AND A GREAT VIEW. BED WAS NOT COMFORTABLE.

I look forwward to staying there again!!
Pros:

This is the second time Ive stayed at the hotel. It was a pleasure both times, the room was clean and fresh, Though I didn't interact with the staff, everything was ready for me during my late arrival.

Cons:

Only one issue, the road around the property to get to my room (136) had a pothole so deep that my car bottomed out.

לא מומלץ
Pros:

נוף יפה צמוד לאגם

Cons:

מיקום על כביש ראשי עם כניסה ויציאה לא בטיחותית. איש הצוות שקיבל אותנו היה לא שירותי ולא מקצועי. בדף הסבר על המלון כל מה שעניין אותם זה איזה עבירה תגרור איזה קנס (איבוד מפתח, עישון, נקיון..)

It was a comfortable bed for the night.
Pros:

The view was excellent

Cons:

The curtains had gaps at the sides and it had front and rear access so felt vulnerable.

A solid option near Watkins Glen
Pros:

The location overlooking the lake was lovely and just outside Watkins Glen. Check in was easy and it was nice being able to park right outside the door.

Cons:

The buildings need an upgrade; there was no hot water (for an early morning shower). The price per night did not match the quality of hotel/ facilities.

«Дом рыбака» - расположено удобно и красиво, но очень аскетично.
Pros:

Местоположение. Удобно и красивый вид на озеро.

Cons:

Аскетизм. Неснимаемый со стены душ.
