We had a wonderful weekend stay at the Hotel Laurel! Beautiful location and rooms. Simple and cozy. Everything was clean and well maintained. The balcony view of Lake Seneca was picturesque. Front desk staff member, Heidi, was welcoming, kind and knowledgeable. She gave excellent recommendations of the area. Looking forward to our next trip to the Finger Lakes and staying here again!

The rooms are recently renovated and clean. There is quite a smell - not sure if it’s from the new renovations (carpets or tiling) or from the older heating units.

Great stay and beautiful view! Hope the restaurant gets better, waited almost 2 hours for our food and ended up getting them in to-go containers. The bartender was sweet though.

This property was recently renovated from the original motel and they did a fantastic job. The room was comfortable, view was amazing, parking right in front of your room, town with all the shopping and restaurants are located 1 mile down the road, wine trail near by and the staff was so accommodating it couldn’t be more perfect. Definitely worth another visit

Looks very recently upgraded room. Only suggestion would be to have some add-ons in the shower area to hold soap. Or, this could be an opportunity to install dispensable soap and shampoo and get rid of single-use plastic containers.
