Nice views, but WiFi connectivity is a problem
Pros:

Large room with good view of the lake

Cons:

WiFi connectivity is inadequate, especially in an area with poor cell service. This is a fixable issue that should be addressed.

Pros:

La habitacion es grande y esta claramente todo reformado y bien deocrado, el baño muy limpio, tiene nevera y buenas vistas.

Cons:

Un poco caro para lo que es. Parece que tengas acceso directo al lago en las fotos, pero no es así.

It’s a stunning area to visit. Breakfast was great. I evpected more from the room.
Pros:

The breakfast is awesome and our waitress was fabulous.

Cons:

We were assigned a room on the lowest level of the property. The view of the lake is obstructed by parking. I requested an upper level room and was told that they were full, but the facility did not appear to be booked as there were many vacant parking places in front of rooms. We stayed two nights and our room was not made up between nights. Our room smelled wet and musty as there are no vents in the bathroom. The location is ideal for exploring Watkins Glenn and the State Park, and the views of the lake from the restaurant and upper levels are stunning.

We will definitely be booking a stay at this great facility when we visit Watkin's Glen again!
Pros:

My husband and I loved the location and especially sitting on our balcony while looking at the scenic lake! Our room was comfortable and I noticed how soft the bathroom towels were. Usually when staying at a hotel the towels feel like paper when drying yourself. It was also convenient to have the restaurant located here for our meals.
