Charming from beginning to end, with ideal location between Keuka and Seneca, and significantly less expensive than nearby competitors, the 1819 Red Brick Inn is one of the best B&Bs in the Finger Lakes.
What are you looking for in a B&B? Well it's obvious - a bed and breakfast of course, or rather how comfortable is the room and how good is the breakfast. My girlfriend and I booked three nights at the 1819 Red Brick Inn (named for the year it was built) and we couldn't have had a better time. Our host Rob has a type "A' personality and couldn't have been more accommodating (he may also be a little insane, managing two inns in addition to a job in NYC harbor five hours away). His breakfasts are excellent - we had breakfast pizza of hash browns with eggs and ham on top, a stuffed french toast, and the decadent souffle. Breakfast is served at 9am and odds are you'll be treated to the remaining inn dog Abbey and Rob's son Tristan, who is a delight and just as personable as his father. Rob and Tristan add that extra personal touch and charm so necessary in these kinds of B&Bs.
If you're wondering about the first B, I can assure you the rooms are excellent as well. All rooms have a very comfortable queen bed and a neat clean bedroom. Rooms were tidied up each day and you receive complimentary shampoo and soap and the softest towels you'll ever use. No TVs in the room and the internet is a little slow, but if you drive to the Finger Lakes to watch TV or surf the web, then you need to reconsider your vacation choices. You also have access to complimentary soda and sweets in the living room (along with a TV if you must).
Overall, I plan on staying here as much as possible when visiting the Finger Lakes. The Inn is ideally situated between Keuka and Seneca LAkes, with both being about a 10 minute drive away. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish and everything you look for in a B&B. Plus, we saved close to $50 a night compared to other places closer to the lakes. I highly recommend. read more
