A small, delightfully decorated bedroom with everything you might need. Refrigerator, plenty of electrical outlets, glasses, coffee. Table to sit at, couch, tv, electric fireplace. We were able to park right outside our door on the street, even on the busiest week of the year. We walked to breakfast and ice cream after dinner. You can walk to the lake also, a nice restaurant there. Minutes from Watkins Glen State Park and the NASCAR race track.

There was coffee, fruit, and granola bars free in the lobby. The balcony and breathtaking view of Seneca Lake across the road was terrific. And it faced east. Rickie was frequently in the lobby and he is a beautiful large terrier of a sort who was great, gentle, and playful with our 3 mos old mini goldendoodle mix pup. The owners were very pleasant!

A refrigerator and cable TV are included in every guest room at the Budget Inn Watkins Glen. They are decorated with wood furnishings and light colours. They have an en suite bathroom, as well.

Guests can enjoy a continental breakfast during summer months at the Watkins Glen Budget Inn. Free parking is also offered.

I highly recommends staying at the Budget Inn. The owner was extremely nice and welcoming. He allowed us to check in an hour early after driving and arriving early. The rooms were very clean and service was provided each day. The room had a huge fridge and microwave. The hotel had breakfast and the owner gave us recommendations of places in town to hike. The hotel is in a great location, right across the street from CVS and a grocery store. It is only a few minute driver to Watkins Glen State Park. Additionally, the owner called me to let me know that I had left my sneakers in the closet. When I arrived to pick them up, he had neatly placed them in a bag for me. Highly recommend!! :)

    Our room overlooked the lake and had a balcony which was perfect. Very clean. Good location very close to shops and restaurants, an easy walk. We can recommend an excellent restaurant next door. Loved the fire pits in the garden. Water and soft drinks can be purchased in the hotel. Lots of parking spaces. Very knowledgeable and friendly gardeners and the cleaners were helpful.

    The location was ideal ... we were in the town specifically to hike at Watkins Glen Park, and we were able to leave our car and walk to the trailhead from the hotel. Also, good grape pie across the street. Friendly staff. The breakfast was packaged danishes and cinnamon buns, but better than nothing, and we were glad to have coffee.
