Central Ithaca is 39.2 km from the motel. Montour Falls Historic District is 5 minutes’ drive away.

Perfect location the harbor is a leisurely 25 minute walk down through town. The inn is located right on the main strip and right next door to a grocery store and liquor/beer store. The room has everything you need for a few night stay even a little table and chairs to eat at. Loved the comfortable bed as well. Everything was clean and modern definitely more updated and better looking than the old pics on Google. Amazing value for money as every other stay is much more expensive in the area .

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    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 location of the Inn hotel is very nice overlooking Seneca Lake. The proprietors were very friendly and helpful. The balcony was a nice touch, but here is no barriers on the balconies for each hotel unit, which was a privacy issue. The motel unit was clean, but definitely older. I appreciated the refrigerator and the microwave. Good water pressure and temperature in the shower. My only issue was with the foam mattress, which I found uncomfortable, but others may like. I prefer inner spring mattresses.

    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.

    The motel is in a nice location, but the rooms are old, in need of a major face lift, fresh paint, new comforters, better quality towels. A new door as well would be great as my door looks like it was kicked in and chewed on by a dog all along the base of it. Not what I expected for the cost.
