Cobwebs and spiders

room was filthy. Management was accommodating and nice, that is the only reason for the one star given. I went by the good reviews before booking, I can't believe people are saying how clean the rooms are. Cob webs and spiders, dust, ring in the bathtub, moldy shower curtain, nasty musty smell in the room. Do not recommend this motel.

This hotel is a great spot to stay in the area because it is closed to everything you need to see. Rooms are clean, no funny smells, the one we stayed in had a cosmetic repair in the bathroom. The bad was huge; pillows were not the best, but we were so tired after long days of hiking, that we did not pay a lot of attention. The only thing I want to mention is that this place needs to update their towels, which was clean but had some wear and tear. The owner, Mike, was super helpful and accommodating, I wish him lots of business, and if I am in the area, I will stay in this place.

We had an excellent experience at this hotel. Everything is spotless. Every staff member you…read moreencounter is pleasant and helpful. Their amenities are plentiful. The grounds are well manicured. The bed was comfortable and the pillows are plentiful. The location cannot be beat. We had dinner and drinks at the Blue Pointe Grille the night we arrived. I was a little hesitant to eat at the hotel restaurant. I was bracing to be disappointed. Service was on point and cocktails were well made. Food was delicious. We had a high top in the bar right near a window for a nice view of the lake. Highly recommend.

It's rare that I'm dazzled by a hotel or feel that it's worth the money (they're all stupid…read moreexpensive these days), but Harbor Hotel was a wonderful experience I'd recommend to anyone. Don't get me wrong, it's expensive. But for once I felt like I'd gotten my money's worth! Everything everywhere was meticulously clean and well-kept. Our room was spacious and bright, with a private balcony and chairs, a couch and coffee table, and a full table that allowed us to take comfortable advantage of the room service breakfast. Potpourri sachets in the closet, free water bottles in the lobby, free coffee stations on each floor, and chocolates every night on the pillows--details, people! We also enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub, and of course the gorgeous patio and firepits overlooking the lake which was 80% of the reason we booked here. All of the staff we encountered, from the front desk to the housekeepers, were very friendly. I did think it was a little strange that the fitness center was in a whole different building and you have to walk across the parking lot to get to it, but hey--you get your steps in. The hotel is also very centrally located. On the water, of course, but next door to Seneca Harbor Station from which you can book lake cruises. It's also less than a mile from the entrance to Watkins Glen State Park and hiking trails and only a 5-10 minute walk from most restaurants. We did most things on foot. When you do get back in the car, there are multiple wineries within a 15-minute drive. The only problem the whole visit was the hotel internet, which was terrible every day. You could make do in the daytime, but at night, when everyone was back in their rooms after the day out exploring, it was slow to the point of unusable, and I ended up turning on my data hotspot to even be able to check my email. I would not suggest bringing time-sensitive work with you, and you should not expect to be able to stream videos on your devices. Just disconnect, you'll be less frustrated. There is an onsite restaurant and bar, and while it's nothing mind-blowing, it is a nice option to have (and is one of the few "higher end" type places in Watkins Glen). Menu includes a few of the standard local wines, which was nice!

This place lives up to its name. It's right across the street from, and all of the rooms have,…read morewell... A gorgeous view of Seneca Lake. Nothing fancy, just a simple roadside motel. The owner does a very good job of keeping it up. When I went to check in, nobody was at the office, but there was a phone number listed. I called, and unfortunately, the man that ran, the place was taking care of some personal business. All of the rooms are on a combination door lock so he gave me the combination, and told me we would just take care of the paperwork in the morning. I went over to check in in the morning, and my first night was so good, I decided to stay for another three nights. My first night was booked through hotels.com, but the owner told me that I could book with him directly for the remaining three nights, and he would give me a discount. It saved me some dollars. I appreciate it. He was friendly, and helpful. Again, nothing fancy on the room. The room and the bathroom were spotless The TV got a good picture with cable, there was a coffee pot, a fridge, and a microwave, and the bed was very comfortable. The shower had plenty of room, and I'm a big guy. The only thing is, there is no shower mat, so you have to be careful. There were plenty of towels.. The Wi-Fi worked great, with enough speed to easily stream video one evening the Wi-Fi did go down, I contacted the gentleman, and he said he would take care of it. He actually came over to my room, to let me know had been fixed, when he could've just called or texted me. That was excellent service. The price was very reasonable, compared to some of the other places in town. Again, you're not getting anything fancy, you are getting a very simple comfortable place. Watkins Glen is right in the middle of the finger Lakes region. There are plenty things to do, lots of good shopping, and great restaurants. This is the perfect place to launch A visit to the finger lakes. I'm a fan. I would easily stay here again. Thanks.

Just left a two night stay. The room was not very clean. When you have kids you notice everything…read more The floors around the beds were gross and the countertop had old cereal pieces. The tile in the bathroom was cool but the actual bathroom was not functional at all. There was no place to put toiletries. They got all wet on the back of the sink. And there were ants in the bathroom. It was a nice feature having hand soap on the wall and shampoo,conditioner,body wash in the shower. Also the half glass in the shower was not the best with children either. Great location to all of the places we wanted to visit. The restaurant was closed the entire time we were there Saturday-Monday morning. We would stay there again but more details in the room need to be noticed.

Views were awesome, and the rooms were clean. Bed not very comfortable, but when was the last time…read moreyou got a great night's sleep in someone else's bed, anyway? No bathroom fan, so very steamy shower, and somehow the toilet was equipped with an undersized toilet seat (that was kinda weird- I had not ever experienced that before). Could not figure out why the restaurant was not packed, until I had the bourbon chicken cutlet. I have been in the restaurant business for fifty years, and I could not figure out how that "pan seared" chicken was ordered, cooked, and delivered in ten minutes. Could not possibly have been cooked to order. Crazy hard brown crust on both sides, dry and really inedible, served with burnt green beans and a loaded baked potato. The loaded baked potato was excellent! I ended up finishing my wife's pasta, which was advertised as spicy, but actually pretty mild. I requested red pepper flakes, but was told they did not have any. Ooooh Kay. Honestly, I hope they can find a way to match the food to the exceptional view! If so, they will be in great shape.
