Location was good, steep driveway to get up to the motel. Weather could have been better than view of the lake would have been great.
There was no indication that the breakfast would be in office the next morning. We knew their restaurant had closed a week before we got there, but had booked prior to knowing that. Would have liked to have seen list of close restaurants since we don't like to drive after dark especially in places that are unknown to us. Ate at Elephant Thai, it was great and fairly easy to find. Was unable to check in until next morning when we were checking out; key was available in envelope in small lobby but no one around to ask questions. That's when we found out coffee and danish, etc were available inside lobby. Wouldn't have checked out so early, but we wanted coffee first thing in the am.

First of all, you are booking a 2 star rated motel, so keeping your expectations with that in mind, it was great. We stayed in a room with two beds. Room was quite spacious. It had a bar fridge and microwave. Man and lady there were friendly, view facing the lake was great, place was clean. Two chairs and table for us in the room, and table and two chairs on our balcony overlooking the lake. We sat out there with our drink. Coffee at breakfast was very good. Located about one mile from Watkins Glen gorge. We would stay there again.
The included continental breakfast was very minimal. Only white flour and sugar products.

The location was good for us, the room had a great view and was very comfortable. Nice terrace overlooking the lake. The Tiki Bar was fantastic although steep steps to get down there. Thanks to Wayne for a ride back up the hill.
Unfortunately we had a long wait at reception due to another guest having difficulty paying. Also unfortunately when using the bathroom for the first time there was urine stains and hair under the seat. We explained this to the staff at reception, they apologised but didn't offer to send a cleaner or provide cleaning equipment.

A large room in a nice location by lake Seneca. Included two queen beds, a desk, a table, two chairs, and a couch. Also a microwave and a fridge. Less than a mile from town and restaurants. Everything was clean and well organized. Carpet was new, and there was a great, shared deck outside our room with a great view.
It's a well maintained, older Inn. The bathroom is small by today's standards, but very functional. Beds were firm for our taste.

Not sure that there was breakfast..... we were out the door by 6:45 each morning... Coffee and a packaged muffin were available the first morning, but not ready the second morning at that same time. We grabbed Dunkin Donuts a couple miles away
The grounds behind our room were a bit rough, although i believe things may have been under construction for the new cabins that were built, and possibly more being added. Room was simple, but super clean and had a great balcony to sit on and see the lake and Tiki Bar across the street

The porch was great. Staff so friendly. Location was perfect. Loved the friendly feel. Makes people like us feel like home. Will definitely return. My husband loved Brick! Thank you.
Could have used an extra blanket in room, will ask next time. A coffee pot would be great but not necessary with office close, but helpful. These things are just helpful hints and in no way will hamper another visit. The driveway on motorcycle was a bit precarious. As long as no one is coming other way all is good 😊

We arrived very late so we could just enter the room with a key placed for us. There is free coffee. Staff and owner are very nice 👍 You can walk from there to the gorge trail in a little more than half an hour. You are very close to the lake. The beds are quite new I think. The porch has cool lake view.
Bathroom mirror and the window where not very clean. I mean, I don't bother about the window, my home does not look better:,D but the mirror in the bathroom could be better cleaned. The water pressure was a little low for my taste.

There was NO breakfast. This was a big disappointment.
I did not like that there was NO breakfast. Having a breakfast with a lake view would have been a big bonus. As it was, we had breakfast in the town, nourishing but no view. If we come again, we'll get breakfast fixings at Walmart the night before, put them in the room refrigerator (they DO have one of those) , and enjoy breakfast on the porch.

The inn is located perfectly on Seneca lake with views of the lake from the balcony. It is just 3 minutes out from the city. Parking is easy, staff was nice and the room was spacious.
The room was dated and could be better maintained, water pressure was variable, could be a bit noisy during the day with passing traffic (was ok at night)

Room was standard, clean, not lighted as well as it could be. Balcony outside the room overlooked the lake. Staff friendly. Tiki bar across the street on the water was a bit rundown but the chairs were comfortable, the views lovely and drinks delicious.
One light not working, no ice in the ice machine when we needed it. Pillows were hard, not fluffy.
