The bed was comfortable and the pillows are plentiful. The location cannot be beat. We had dinner and drinks at the Blue Pointe Grille the night we arrived. I was a little hesitant to eat at the hotel restaurant. I was bracing to be disappointed. Service was on point and cocktails were well made. Food was delicious. We had a high top in the bar right near a window for a nice view of the lake. Highly recommend.

It's rare that I'm dazzled by a hotel or feel that it's worth the money (they're all stupid…read moreexpensive these days), but Harbor Hotel was a wonderful experience I'd recommend to anyone. Don't get me wrong, it's expensive. But for once I felt like I'd gotten my money's worth! Everything everywhere was meticulously clean and well-kept. Our room was spacious and bright, with a private balcony and chairs, a couch and coffee table, and a full table that allowed us to take comfortable advantage of the room service breakfast. Potpourri sachets in the closet, free water bottles in the lobby, free coffee stations on each floor, and chocolates every night on the pillows--details, people! We also enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub, and of course the gorgeous patio and firepits overlooking the lake which was 80% of the reason we booked here. All of the staff we encountered, from the front desk to the housekeepers, were very friendly. I did think it was a little strange that the fitness center was in a whole different building and you have to walk across the parking lot to get to it, but hey--you get your steps in. The hotel is also very centrally located. On the water, of course, but next door to Seneca Harbor Station from which you can book lake cruises. It's also less than a mile from the entrance to Watkins Glen State Park and hiking trails and only a 5-10 minute walk from most restaurants. We did most things on foot. When you do get back in the car, there are multiple wineries within a 15-minute drive. The only problem the whole visit was the hotel internet, which was terrible every day. You could make do in the daytime, but at night, when everyone was back in their rooms after the day out exploring, it was slow to the point of unusable, and I ended up turning on my data hotspot to even be able to check my email. I would not suggest bringing time-sensitive work with you, and you should not expect to be able to stream videos on your devices. Just disconnect, you'll be less frustrated. There is an onsite restaurant and bar, and while it's nothing mind-blowing, it is a nice option to have (and is one of the few "higher end" type places in Watkins Glen). Menu includes a few of the standard local wines, which was nice!

Quick Thoughts: If you're staying the night and have plans to walk the Glen, this is a GREAT…read moreoption. Buckle up, this might be a long one. We are road tripping our way to northern NY and figured we'd stop at Watkins Glenn as a stop on our way to Rochester. Last minute we decided to stay for an overnight. Hotel/Motel: When we were driving I was doing my best to scout the area for somewhere to stay. Lately I've been using a particular chain, but didn't see any in the area, but lots of motels. We got into town (which is super cute by the way) and it seemed pretty clear that motels were the THING, and they all seemed fairly cute. We stopped to eat at the marina and decided to pick a motel near the main entrance to the park so we could walk there and not pay to park. We ended up turning up the west side of the lake and came to the south entrance and boom, a lodge was across the street. Decided to pull in and ask about availability. We opted for a two queen motel, but there were cabins (single queen) and king options too. The front desk attendant was amazingly friendly, and even offered to let us check out a room before booking to make sure we were ok with it. Beds- comfortable and clean so far! Bathroom- fairly spacious, plenty of clean towels, bars of soap (no shampoo/conditioner), and a closet shelf and hanging bar. Amenities- plenty of parking, no ice machine (a bit of a bummer since we're traveling with a cooler, although they advertise 10lb bag of ice for $3 at the desk), a little outdoor sitting area. Ok here's the best parts. All on "campus" is a full restaurant, tavern, and brewery. AND, we just have to walk across the street for free entry into the park with a playground and pool!! What an amazing family friendly find this is! Restaurant/Brewery: I believe you can tell a little about an establishment by their kids menu. If it's just chicken fingers and Mac and cheese, it's just ok for me. So imagine my delight when the first option was a London Broil!!! It came in thin easy to eat slices, a side of rice pilaf, and a trip to the salad bar. My husband had a chicken dinner, which were two marinated chicken breast and rice pilaf. I had broiled shrimp with rice pilaf. Everything was so good. Service was quick (always good with kids) and we loved the salad bar. It was small, but had so many fresh items, and it allowed us to get food right away (also good for kids). My husband and I really enjoyed our beers, and I kind of want to go back tomorrow afternoon to sip one on their amazing deck. Ok, the length is getting absurd now, but I highly recommend this place, and can't wait to share it with family, friends, and you brave souls to read this novel.

We have not been here in a couple years and won't be back anytime soon.

This place lives up to its name. It's right across the street from, and all of the rooms have,…read morewell... A gorgeous view of Seneca Lake. Nothing fancy, just a simple roadside motel. The owner does a very good job of keeping it up. When I went to check in, nobody was at the office, but there was a phone number listed. I called, and unfortunately, the man that ran, the place was taking care of some personal business. All of the rooms are on a combination door lock so he gave me the combination, and told me we would just take care of the paperwork in the morning. I went over to check in in the morning, and my first night was so good, I decided to stay for another three nights. My first night was booked through hotels.com, but the owner told me that I could book with him directly for the remaining three nights, and he would give me a discount. It saved me some dollars. I appreciate it. He was friendly, and helpful. Again, nothing fancy on the room. The room and the bathroom were spotless The TV got a good picture with cable, there was a coffee pot, a fridge, and a microwave, and the bed was very comfortable. The shower had plenty of room, and I'm a big guy. The only thing is, there is no shower mat, so you have to be careful. There were plenty of towels.. The Wi-Fi worked great, with enough speed to easily stream video one evening the Wi-Fi did go down, I contacted the gentleman, and he said he would take care of it. He actually came over to my room, to let me know had been fixed, when he could've just called or texted me. That was excellent service. The price was very reasonable, compared to some of the other places in town. Again, you're not getting anything fancy, you are getting a very simple comfortable place. Watkins Glen is right in the middle of the finger Lakes region. There are plenty things to do, lots of good shopping, and great restaurants. This is the perfect place to launch A visit to the finger lakes. I'm a fan. I would easily stay here again. Thanks.

No bathroom fan, so very steamy shower, and somehow the toilet was equipped with an undersized toilet seat (that was kinda weird- I had not ever experienced that before). Could not figure out why the restaurant was not packed, until I had the bourbon chicken cutlet. I have been in the restaurant business for fifty years, and I could not figure out how that "pan seared" chicken was ordered, cooked, and delivered in ten minutes. Could not possibly have been cooked to order. Crazy hard brown crust on both sides, dry and really inedible, served with burnt green beans and a loaded baked potato. The loaded baked potato was excellent! I ended up finishing my wife's pasta, which was advertised as spicy, but actually pretty mild. I requested red pepper flakes, but was told they did not have any. Ooooh Kay. Honestly, I hope they can find a way to match the food to the exceptional view! If so, they will be in great shape.
