For our needs this room fit nicely. Clean, a lil cramped, think cause we got the king size bed, and enough cable that we caught the end of a good movie and had news in the morning. Nice owners. Located in town on the main drag close to everything we came for, Glenora and Bully Hill winery's. Wanted to walk... More

We'd stayed at this hotel two years ago and were happy with the visit, but this time around we were less impressed. First off, when we arrived we asked for a room with a microwave. The owner said that only across the street at their other hotel could we get a microwave. Then he said that the room had 2... More

It was a budget inn in every sense of the word. Clean basic room. No frills. If you are looking for anything else you will be disappointed here. The staff were very friendly, the street though is very noisy with a lot of heavy truck traffic throughout the night. Make sure you pack your earplugs. More

This is a nice, clean, family run motel located across the street from a supermarket, drugstore, and liquor store. There is a family restaurant a block away and the Watkins Glen business district is only 3/4 mile down the road. There is free wired internet service in the room, and wi-fi internet in the newly renovated annex across the street. More

Stayed here with friends. Basic motel features, so if you are going to be on the go and not looking to spend time in your room this is the place to go. It is convenient to the falls, restaurants and ice cream parlors. Clean, although there was a soiled chair in our room that made me uncomfortable. Owner was very... More

Went to Watkins Glen to visit the wineries. Stayed one night at this motel. Paid around $105. Clean and some of the bathroom fixtures were remodeled. Shower head is old and took forever to get hot water. Convenience - close to everything in Watkins Glen - grocery store across the street - can get breakfast snacks drinks. Microwave and small...

Pros: friendly, more reasonable for this area ($75-85), clean, very good mattresses Cons: no HBO or refrig in many rooms, some rooms incredibly small, no clothes pole to hang clothes, no wifi, almost no vanity space in bathroom, shower light/fan extremely noisy. This motel has 3-4 buildings with wildly varying situations. Suggest you ask to see your room. More

A clean and basic old style motel where you park at the door of your unit. It's situated near the intersection of two main roads which results in traffic noise especially trucks braking or moving up to speed. It's been refurbished with some noticable clues. Our room's front door inside trim was bare and unfinished and the pictures were attached... More

This Budget Inn is very clean and the service is great. The owners live on site so they are always available if you need anything. I have to say I was a little worried when they told me it was only $85 plus tax per night; I immediately thought it wasn't going to be so nice but I was wrong.... More
