This is not the best option in Watkins Glen. There's no staff, the room wasn't very comfortable or adequately clean and the TV worked intermittently. However, the AC was great, parking is easy and, its' in a great location and quiet.

This is a cheap 2 star motel at most.
Bed is comfortable and clean but that’s it.
No staff here most of the time. Even the coffee machine didn’t work in the morning and no one here to help.

Very pleasant stay. The host & hostess were outstanding. They are currently working on big improvements. I would definitely recommend

Two completely different experiences available. We were able to choose from a room in the main house that was over 150 years old. Beautiful room with lots of space! The other room was completely remodeled and modern. This place had the best of both worlds as well as very friendly staff. Great location to walk every where including to the entrance of Watkins Glen park. Great stay, highly recommend!

Never again
Think of a boarding house with paper thin walls right on the main thoroughfare of the town. Guests up early into the morning talking right outside our door. Then beginning at 2:30 a.m. two people from the creamery (I guess) in the kitchen talking up a storm. Finally at 3:30 I had to get out of bed and ask them to be quiet. Next comes the trash truck at 4 a m. with it's back up beeper going off and clanging trash cans.
You can here every footstep on the creaking floors and every toilet that flushes.
ZERO sleep

The room was small. The walls paper thin. Limited parking. The bed was comfy. Bathroom was fine. Could of had a bath mat for the shower. It was fine for the one night we stayed. It's located near restaurants and bars. Not to far from Watkins State Park.
