Really liked the contactless check in and the codes for each individual door, that was nice. Even though we didn’t follow it correctly the first time the staff were so incredibly patient and helpful!! Would definitely come back!

Good location. The room was moldy and musty with lots of cobwebs. Extremely tiny shower. Furnishings were outdated. Not what we expected. We left after one night due to mold and mildew.

We found bedbugs in our room. Thankfully, it was right when we arrived. The staff did not give us any trouble with cancelling and refunding our money. The room had a bad smell, the windows would not lock and the blinds were broken. Overall, the place needs a major makeover and deep cleaning. Would not recommend.

The only problem we had with this day was one of our neighbors. Burnt popcorn in their microwave at midnight. And it filled up the whole room with that smell. Otherwise, the property was amazing.

Colonial Inn & Creamery - October 2023
We enjoyed a comfortable stay at the Colonial Inn & Creamery. The location was perfect; just a few minutes walk to Watkins Glen State Park. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Only thing was the shower - tt was very difficult to control the temperature and flow. Other than that, a very relaxing stay at this hotel. Enjoyed the colonial "charm" of this place.
