You have to check in with a kiosk. No onsite staff at check in. Had to wait quite awhile before someone even acknowledged I was there. A very poor, unprofessional system.

Finger Lakes Inn was easy to get to, and I was driving from lower Westchester. My room was clean and inviting. The staff was polite and were knowledgeable of the area. I lost my hotel key, and a replacement was given without any hassle. The price point was exactly what I was willing to pay. All in all, a very good place to stay. My stay was from 10/11-10/13/25.
