The view from the room and the little deck off the room was beautiful. Didn't want to leave our room. It was so relaxing just looking at the view. Restaurant was excellent. Food was delicious and service was friendly and fast. View from the restaurant was just as beautiful. Very relaxing place to stay and close to downtown. Highly recommend it!

Fine for one night, just arrive during the day
The staff at the front desk and I. The restaurant were super friendly and understanding. The food was ok. It was nice to have something on campus after a long drive. You’re given a map and I didn’t read closely and took the word “hotel” wrong. I had even messaged ahead of time to be “close to the elevator/lobby due to traveling alone with a little one and having plenty of stuff. This is a recently renovated motel. My first impression unfortunately was not great as I arrived at night. They do give you a helpful map, but you have to go down a dark hill and it’s off a fairly busy highway. Everything was very dark and I was unusually nervous about the surroundings because my room’s back door was unlatched (I checked all 3) and it had a wobbly deadbolt once I did lock it, and I was traveling alone with a small child. It was so dark, I didn’t realize there was a drop off there, so chance of someone getting in was quite low, thankfully. The one bed didn’t have a top sheet under the duvet, which was likely and oversight, so I chose the other one. Rooms don’t have phones so you can’t call the front desk which was frustrating. Good number of pillows, relatively comfortable bed, new fridge for milk, snacks etc. Fell asleep after settling down around 2am. Bathroom was recently upgraded. Relatively clean. Average-pricey for what you get, but I know it’s peak season and come morning, I did appreciate the beautiful view. I felt better once I woke up, but it was time to leave.

The room was small but comfortable, the bathroom had no exhaust fan so when taking a shower everything became wet from condensation. Great view of Seneca Lake but it was way over priced.

The property overlooks Seneca Lake with unobstructed views. Serene n picturesque. Nice outside deck to relax n enjoy the view. My room had a balcony which was perfect for privacy. Now for the concerns. A gas odor was prevalent inside the lobby n check in area on both days that I was present. The hotel's restaurant was closed during my two day stay which was a huge disappointment.

Location is so amazing over-looking Lake Seneca and just less than 5 minutes drive from downtown. Room clean and with everything you need (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, iron). Staff Glenna and Haley so accommodating and courteous. Will definitely stay here the next time we come back. Highly recommended for everybody

Room was clean and in good condition. The beds were nice and comfortable. View from hotel is magnificent. Hotel restaurant opens on Wednesdays Only negative was the temperature of the water in shower took long time to warm up and then very hot and touchy. My niece never got it to be hot the morning we were leaving. Also, there needs to be a grab bar somewhere in that shower as it is all glass and tile. Hard to wash the bottoms of your feet and could be dangerous.

The room had a balcony and overlooked Seneca lake. The view was beautiful. Rooms were clean and updated but obviously an older building. Could have used a few more outlets and no exhaust fan in the bathroom. A little pricey. The restaurant was good. The people were nice but not there all the time. Overall a good place.
