Top Watkins Glen Hotel Reviews

Arnot Grand Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

La Tourelle Inn & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"La Tourelle is such a nice place to stay. The grounds are amazing and the rooms are well appointed. My experience with the staff was also very positive. We requested a full length mirror and staff were able to help. The lobby is inviting. It's fireplace, homemade cookies and 24 hour coffee/tea station adds to the overall ambiance."

The Benjamin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the most lovely little inn that was spotless clean and our room had a private terrace. The room is large like a large studio apartment. Snacks and water and coffee capsules were provided along with a little kitchen. The keyless entry actually worked great. There is an entrance onto the street that has little shops. A great little vegan Thai restaurant ( be sure to choose this Thai restaurant and not the other which was very oily), a coffee shop (not recommended though), and a few other eating places and shops. It is very peaceful and quiet here and there are no guests above you. What a quaint and cozy getaway to spend a few days."

Long House Manor B And B

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. The place is amazing. The area is very quiet and peaceful. The bed was very comfortable. the shower excellent, and there was plenty of space for toiletries and luggage. Fluffy towels. Kettle and fridge. Breakfast was very good, with well‑cooked food and self‑service coffee/tea. .The rooms are spacious. Some rooms have a lovely views of the Seneca Lake. The Guest House sits on a lovely piece of property. The Guest house was cozy, clean and included everything we needed. Would definitely stay again if I go back to the area. Highly recommend!"

Lakeside Resort

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re looking for a perfect home base when visiting Watkins Glen, this is THE place! We stayed in the chalet, which I can’t recommend enough due to the size, kitchen, and beautiful views! You have the feel of a log cabin stay, with all the things you need to stay comfortable. A kitchen for cooking, a huge bathroom, ceiling fans, and a beautiful patio for watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, making the whole experience feel like we were visiting old friends. We loved hanging out with local legend Jim on Thursday night around the communal fire, who you can chat with about everything and anything. Especially the best wines in the area! It’s located is in the perfect area, about 4 minutes out of town and close to many wineries. I can’t recommend this resort enough, and can safely say we have found our “place” when visiting Watkins Glen!"
