The Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel was the location of a Titanic 100th Anniversary dinner in April 2012. Being almost 5 hours away, we decided to spend the night at the hotel and received a slight discount as other attendees did. Having not spent much time in this area, I was unsure what to expect. This hotel far exceeded our expectations.... More

The food at the restaurant is quite good. We stay here every time we are in the area for events at Watkins Glen International Speedway. It... More

In the early part of May, 2012, we were on a trip to the Finger Lakes area in New York state. After looking over the various Ma and Pa type motels we picked the Harbor Hotel. What a great find! You know you are in for something special just entering the well appointed lobby. Chris, our check in manager, did... More

For the area this seems to be the best hotel, IMO. The view down the lake was beautiful. I recommend a deck as it was usable and nice place to sit outside with an elevated unobstructed view. The good: room was clean, awesome view great location for most local attractions The bad: pillows were lousy, bad food was mediocre, breakfast... More

The room was very nice, clean and every detail to impress. The romance package included turn down, champagne, roses and chocolate covered strawberries. We walked into our room and found “rose” petals on the... More
