The Hampton Inn is a great all around, a clean, modern facility with friendly and efficient workers. The hotel doesn't seem to brag much about its greatest selling point. You can walk to a town beach. There's no sand but there's water. I'm wondering if they don't mention the beach for legal reasons? Like tourists who ignore "closed" signs (cough, cough). Or dangerous algal blooms? But even if you don't go in the lake, it's a spectacular sight. And when weather allows they have a fire pit in the back.

Absolutely loved this hotel. I stayed here while attending a wedding- the room I choose was one of the exclusive rooms with a door that led directly out onto the balcony/patio from my room. It overlooked Keuka Lake and was just absolutely beautiful- the room was spacious, clean and very comfy. Funny story - just not at the time, I accidentally locked myself out of my room and couldn't get back in - can you see me smacking my forehead right now? Well, let me tell you that the gentleman that was standing at the front desk could see I was in a mad panic because I wasn't fully dressed ( no shoes , hair still up ) ran immediately to help me. Within minutes he had rescued me- omg! Talk about embarrassing myself- This gentleman was professional and polite and had a positive attitude towards me- and I was super grateful and soon I was on my way to the wedding rehearsal party and when I returned back to my room later that evening, to my surprise I was treated like a queen with a bottle of the local wine country wine and a charcuterie board- Thank you young man for making my weekend that much less stressful- XXOO

"The Keuka Breeze" restaurant is a well kept secret, but we are spreading the word!!! The food is delicious and cocktails very very satisfying!! Jeff is both bartender and server and his passion for the food comes out as well!! This was our second visit and the food once again was delicious! This visit I had the Crab encrusted Faroe Salmon with yummy lemon beurre blanc sauce and rice. My husband had a special of "beef au jus" with very tasty house made fries. Our first trip we started with a lobster roll special as an appetizer and they cut it in four for us very nicely done and Old Bay fries to die for!! I had the filet and crab cake special, my filet was very very flavorful and cooked to temp. My SIL had the salmon ( reason why I got it this trip :)), another special and a pasta dish rounded out our group. Again cocktails and IPA's on point. View off balcony is lovely of the lake, just a bit of moving umbrellas created shade for all! We live on the lake and have added the Breeze to our Penn Yan restaurant rotation.. live music on Fridays & Saturdays and starting back up in the fall, fish fry's and prime rib nights!! Count us in!!

Beautiful lake view room

Beautiful property in a very picturesque setting. Staff was very genuinely friendly with a desire to serve. The young lady handling the breakfast buffet was the best. She went out of her way to keep all of the food selections fully stocked and looking very appetizing. I wish I would have gotten her name but she was a true joy. We will definitely be back!

Out our window (421)!

One of our favorite stays! We paid for a water view and it was worth it. It was very uplifting to see the water of Keuka Lake while laying in bed! Sunrise and sunset were beautiful out the window and sitting in chaise-lounges on the back patio. Bed and bath were clean and well thought-out. They even had a towel hook on the wall next to the shower! Simple things make a difference. Coffee was good and available 24/7 with paper cups and real 1/2&1/2. Breakfast egg mini-omlets w cheese were better than most. The AC was strong and noise fairly smooth. Room and whole hotel were very attractive. Nearby town was safe and uncrowded. The fire pit was lit near dusk every night. We ate dinner in the bar one night, which was very pleasant, with Jeff as the host. The linguini itself was expensive, scant, heavily-prepared but good enough. But the overall experience felt very special with the sparkling lamps, view, service. Jeff was excellent. The deck off the dining area was bright and breezy - lovely for cocktails. The gym had multiple machines and the small pool and working jacuzzi (!) were used by families having fun. We stayed here while visiting Watkins Glen, 32min away. This place made us very happy. Highest recommendations.

Spent the night here. Got the side of the building with the lake view. Just beautiful. Lots of things to watch on the lake. Lots of birds too on the lawn. Sit on the lawn chairs, have dinner outside, go for a walk. It's all relaxing. The hotel was nice, breakfast was good, staff friendly. Plenty of hot water, lots of towels, bed was good, and pillows nice. Now why didn't I give this place a 5 star? Well the bathroom floor needed a better cleaning. There were signs that it hadn't been swept. Also the bed was weirdly made. Maybe the staff was in a hurry that day. Would I stay here again, yes, the view is well worth it.

The Lake view
Eric R.

My wife and I booked our NY vacation after we realized that travelling by plane wasn't in the cards this year. We booked the best room in the hotel for our 1 week stay 2 months before our check in date. A lake view room with a patio. The room rate was nearly $300 per night. When we arrived in our room we eagerly opened the door to see the lake view. I was horrified. There was no lake view, just a view of huge piles of dirt created by the hotels construction of a new catering facility. Besides not having a view our patio was inundated with the loud noise of the air conditioning compressor and fans for the indoor pool. So my question is... If the hotel knew (and the manager readily admitted that she she did.) that this room no longer had a lake view, why would they sell it as one and charge the most expensive rate for it? I would have been better off with a parking lot view. So anyway, after complaining the manager admitted that the hotel was in the wrong and she comped our first night and agreed to move us the next day to a third floor room with a lake view. This move resulted in my wife and I having to climb the stairs during our vacation, because we specifically chose this room because it would allow us to enter and exit the room without passing through the lobby and use elevators. So, a little more exercise. No biggie. As far as cleanliness is concerned, the hotel fails miserably. I saw no signs of hydro-static spraying like Hilton advertised on their website. My wife and I knew that the maids would not enter the room after check-in and that we would be leaving our dirty towels outside to be replaced daily. Unfortunately, the maids did enter our room to deliver the soap amenities that my wife requested, while we were out. As far as the towels are concerned... Does anyone think that it hygienic to leave wet dirty towels on the carpet in the hallway all day? Think about where those towels have been! Or the bags of garbage from the room for that matter. The hallway looked like a dump when we returned at 3 pm on Tuesday. Maybe the hotel should provide $2 plastic hampers for each room. When we contacted the hotel about the fact that we had no regular coffee in the room only decaf., we were told that they were out of regular coffee. A professional in the hospitality industry might have come up with a way of providing a regular cup of coffee to their guests, considering that they do have a restaurant, but not at this Hampton Inn. Finally, the patio with a lake view and a fire pit sounds nice, right. Well the patio has about a dozen chairs and you need to beg steal and borrow to get one in the afternoon. Need some shade from the July sun? Don't expect to find an umbrella at one of the tables because their are none. Want to sit by the fire pit at night? Well you had better have your family members camp out there by 5 pm. The whole time I was at this property one family controlled the fire pit from 5-10 pm. You can't share a fire pit in the Covid-19 environment. Finally, the restaurant manager who is also the construction manager/landscaper and geese remover, decides that a good time to mow the lawn by the patio would be at 5-6 pm, which is exactly when most guests are looking to sit on the patio after a days events. I understand that this gentleman is working his tail off, trying to do the best job that he can, but the timing of the lawn mowing is akin to bleaching the restaurant floor during dinner service. A true professional in the hospitality industry would understand the mistake in this plan. So, we had to cut our Finger Lakes vacation short and check out the next morning. The only saving grace for this property was the young man named Randy who works at the front desk. He professionally managed the hotels hospitality issues and tried to communicate them to the managers which were almost never present. In the future we will find a better managed, and cleaner property to stay at in FLX.

Absolutely beautiful hotel with a great, central location. All of the staff is really nice and courteous. You can walk to restaurants and the movie theatre. The pool has a great view down the lake and long hours from 9am to 10pm. They have coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available for free around the clock. The fitness room is gorgeous and everything is so new. The rooms have great, thoughtful amenities such as refrigerators and extra stools so there are seats other than just the beds and desk chair. The decor is updated and gorgeous. Great location to use as a home base to visit wineries on Keuka and Seneca Lakes. Hot breakfast is included. Waffles, French toast, and omelettes are all offered. They also have oatmeal and fresh fruit. Highly recommend this hotel!

Our lumber yard view I'm the lakeside hotel.  $280/night.
Mohamed S.

Rooms a extremely clean and everything is new. Good if you're passing through the area. Rooms facing the back of the hotel have a depressing view of what looks like a lumber yard. I booked a lake side room and called to confirm. Yet they placed me in such a room. Being 6 hours away from home with no other options I took it. What a depressing weekend. Staff were nice but did not care not try to change the room. If you are passing through. Fine. But if you think you will have a gorgeous lake view don't take the risk.

Deluxe Room/2 Queens- There we 3 of us sharing this room and it was more than enough space for a couple of nights. Overall Service: The staff was nice here. I remembered asking them for makeup wipes because I forgot to pack them and they gave me enough to share with my girlfriends too.

The room interior was looking a bit worn but it is still a nice room with a balcony overlooking Seneca lake. The view is fantastic.

Amenities inside the room were good. Not super modern, but everything was well kept up and clean. GREAT shower pressure. I really appreciated that they had large refillable soap/shampoo/conditioner mounted to the wall in the shower - those small one time use bottles are the worst. Our Vinter's Guestroom (the option with two beds) had a huge bathroom. I really appreciated the mini fridge. They greet you with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and there is also a free bottle of wine in your room - it's sweet wine, but if you don't roll that way (like us) you can exchange it for something else - which does have a cost depending on the bottle, but was worth it for us. You also get a free wine tasting with your stay.

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!
