The individual private balconies facing the lake make this place special! We stayed in Room 113. The room was clean and updated. There was no daily room service so we had to go the front desk to request additional coffee pods, cups, and towels, but this wasn’t a big deal for us. It’s not walkable to anything except for the onsite restaurant, so you’ll need to get in your car to go anywhere. We did have breakfast at the onsite restaurant one day and it was good, with a great view.

Clean room with beautiful views to Seneca Lake with helpful staff from the front desk to the cleaning lady that we’ve met and the waitress at the restaurant. Sunrise was gorgeous from the back porch. Only ate breakfast there… food was decent with good portions. The bathroom could use an improvement ( shower door is only partway shielding the floor so it gets wet when one uses the shower) and no vent so the glass gets steamy. Otherwise we had a decent, enjoyable stay.

Stayed for 2 nights. The 2 room king was perfect as we had friends also staying at the hotel. After a day of visiting breweries, we were all able to get together and end the day hanging out in the living room. View of the lake was amazing and the location is perfect.

The restaurant is overpriced with a limited menu, and doubtful quality of food (found a hair in the meal) though it’s very scenic and service was good.

One of my favorite hotel in the area. The view is amazing, you can see Seneca Lake from your balcony and window. It is a retro hotel and I like how clean the place is! They also have a nice deck where you can get a drink! There is a restaurant onsite, we didn’t try this time, but next we will definitely will!
