Nice small hotel on the grounds of the Glenora winery. There is also a restaurant onsite. The hotel rooms were well prepared and clean and included a couple bottles of water, a bottle of wine, and a coupon for free wine tastings. The room interior was looking a bit worn but it is still a nice room with a balcony overlooking Seneca lake. The view is fantastic. The hotel is fully booked with many weddings so you better make your reservations well in advance. We stayed on a Tuesday night but it was still full. read more

The best part is definitely the views. Every room has a patio or a porch with a view of the lake. I'm sure the views are better from the 2nd story rooms, but the 1st story room patios open onto the grass next to the vineyard which is great from lounging in and for kids playing in. Amenities inside the room were good. Not super modern, but everything was well kept up and clean. GREAT shower pressure. I really appreciated that they had large refillable soap/shampoo/conditioner mounted to the wall in the shower - those small one time use bottles are the worst. Our Vinter's Guestroom (the option with two beds) had a huge bathroom. I really appreciated the mini fridge. They greet you with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine and there is also a free bottle of wine in your room - it's sweet wine, but if you don't roll that way (like us) you can exchange it for something else - which does have a cost depending on the bottle, but was worth it for us. You also get a free wine tasting with your stay. read more

The Inn At Glenora Wine Cellars - Hotels Near Me - Dundee, New York

Every room has amazing views of the lake and a balcony with outdoor seating where you can hear the sound of birds in the morning. The sunrise is probably beautiful too since we faced west but it was cloudy the morning we checked out and we were not able to watch it. The room comes with a complimentary bottle of white wine that you can switch out at the front desk if you wish (though some wines do require a surcharge), 2 glasses of champagne, and a free wine tasting for two at the inn! I chose this place because we did not want to drive after a wine tasting and so staying at a winery was the safest option :) and it was the best decision! The bathroom was huge and the room was very spacious. The complimentary breakfast was a bit disappointing though (mostly grab and go muffins and cereal) but other than that, we had a wonderful stay! read more

Boy does that AC work on these humid summer days! Property is gorgeous with a lovely view of Seneca lake. Rooms have a small balcony/deck with chairs to enjoy the outdoors. We faced east, so we definitely kept those blinds closed to sleep in through sunrise. While the rooms feel a touch dated, it fits with the charm of staying at an inn at a winery. I do also wish some of the bedding was updated as the sheets were pretty thin. Our bathroom was huge and had a jet tub. The property offers a complimentary bottle of wine with the room (that you can trade out for a fee depending on the bottle you'd prefer), glasses of bubbly upon checkin, and tasting vouchers for the winery during your stay. Overall we had such a lovely time. read more

What a lovely winery and charming inn. Upon arrival, I received a complimentary wine tasting. The staff was knowledgeable and the selection was very good. The view from the top floor room looks out onto the vineyard, with Seneca Lake further in the background. If I woke up to this view everyday, my life would be complete! The room was very clean and a cold bottle of wine was awaiting us in the refrigerator. I can't wait to go back. read more

The only room available to book was their lowest priced Double Queen but it was actually very nice and had a balcony overlooking the Vineyards and lake. We were given vouchers for two wine tastings and also a bottle of white wine which we appreciated. There was also an included Continental Breakfast that you could access from the hallway and bring to your room. The dinner we had was very good and the outside balcony provided a nice view. The two negatives were the check in and out process that was lacking in the customary courtesies but otherwise efficient. Also at dinner we asked the Server if we could substitute a side dish and he said "certainly ". Later we noticed that an 8.00 dollar up charge was added to the bill. He had otherwise provided good service. read more

Very conveniently located, quiet and great views. I do recommend trying the restaurant on site. We also recommend the FLX Wienery which was less than 1 mile away, if you need to grab a quick bite before checking in. When you are wine tasting all afternoon, it is so convenient to be able to take a short break to cool off and relax in your room and get freshened up before walking to dinner. The grounds were clean and the interior was thoughtfully decorated. The room delivered everything that was promised and earned high marks from my boyfriend for the firm mattress and high marks from me for the whirlpool which was clean and actually worked! And the room had enough towels to cover a few dips in it. The patio view was just what I was hoping for and the complimentary bottle of chilled wine couldn't have been better. I did feel that one of the staff was not welcoming. (Although every other staff member we met were great!) We would consider coming back again, especially if there was a special promotion or special event. read more

The view from the inn is fantastic. The balcony seating is great for an afternoon glass of wine. A bottle of wine is included in the stay and room service is available. The restaurant is decent although limited selections right now. Very easy check in and check out. Rooms are spacious and the fireplace was a great perk. read more

Stayed here for 2 nights for an early 4th of July vacation and it was fabulous. The inn has a gorgeous view of the Seneca Lake and located on the property behind their vineyard. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and clean. The hotel even included a bottle of wine and free wine tasting at their winery for each person and each day staying at the inn. Glenora is located on the west side of the lake, which is limited in food choices, but they have a nice restaurant on the premise. read more

4 stars for the fantastic lake views and the big size of the room. The rooms are very dated, so don't expect much there. You can sit on the patio and watch the sunset but will have to go in right at sunset because an amazing swarm of beetles attacks every night. Also, people say the internet is sketchy? It is NON-existent, so don't come here if you don't have unlimited data on your phone or you need to use a computer. When I could connect with my computer it was extremely slow and I was kicked off every few seconds. The price was fairly good, but I think next time I am in the area for wine tasting I would stay in Watkins Glen about 10 minutes away. I am sure we could find a better room, have better dining options, and at least have modern day internet. read more

This place was incredible. For starters, it is incredibly affordable for its value. The room is a bit old fashioned, but it feels intentional with the vibe in the Finger Lakes, and being the oldest winery. It was cute and cozy. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the ability to walk out on a patio facing Seneca Lake was incredible. We loved the complimentary glass of champagne upon arrival and the complimentary bottle of wine in our room. The staff at the inn was great. I've read some complaints about breakfast, however this was a nonevent for us. The coffee was great, and they had enough variety for a grab and go breakfast which was sufficient for us. We even ate dinner there our second night celebrating our recent engagement and it was great. Incredible views are available from the restaurant, the inn room itself, and the winery. Also - the winery was my favorite on Seneca Lake due to the incredible views and spectacular wine. I highly recommend the dry rose and dry Riesling. read more

Love it here. This is 3rd year we've stayed. Unfortunately we were unaware the restaurant . In any event the room was very clean, very nice and it's a really perfect spot. A view from all room here read more

I understand it's Covid time and I have to say that everyone here was very polite, helpful. The housekeeping staff was very, very loud, though. They were knocking on the neighbor's doors and we about hit the ceiling. The doors all slam loud and the Inn gave us the room right next to the main entrance, (of course). The walls were beyond thin. I think if they were built with paper we would have had more quiet. We learned more about the neighbor's lives than we really wanted to. And the last thing I want to say is that the shower drain did not drain. I had to wait about 15 minutes before I could get in the shower after my friend had. If this in is going to charge what they do for one night and one of these rooms, and they glamorize it on their website, they should live up to it. read more

We love staying here for the amazing views and nice accommodations for a decent price. We always stay off-season, since the prices in the area all go up in the summer! Go through Hotels.com for the best deals, especially if you are scheduling in advance. Staff is very friendly and helpful! read more

This was an amazing place to stay overnight. The small, cozy, environment with breathtaking views was perfect for our trip (even during a march winter storm weekend). We booked through hotels.com which made it more reasonable for us and could definitely help people out in the summer months. This price included two complimentary glasses of champagne, a bottle of their wine, and free wine tastings for two people at the winery. This was all a cherry on top of the reservation price and views!! I can't wait to visit and stay another time when we can enjoy the patio! read more

A lovely inn with pros and cons to it. The biggest pro is the beautiful view from each room. It is serene and calming. Pros: Each room has a fireplace which works really well and makes your room very toasty. We had a Jacuzzi in our room. We don't use them but for some travelers, it's nice to have. Great staff - very friendly and accommodating to travelers. Price is very good for the size of the room. Our bathroom was huge! Always nice to have that luxury. Room controlled temperature. Not always available in some places. A complimentary bottle of their wine and fresh water bottles in the fridge in each room. A great touch. Very nice amenities. A refrigerator in each room. Cons: Very dated with old and peeling furniture and jury rigged furniture in some spots. Not squeaky clean. The table tops and the tops of our nightstands were not cleaned and had spots and food stuck on them from previous occupants. Small thing but they only have coffee up front until a certain time rather than all day. Stained and dirty carpets in the hallways and especially on stairs. It would look so much better if they were cleaned regularly. Peeling wallpaper in some spots. Some mold over our very small shower. I am 125 lbs and 5'5" and it was almost too small for me. We enjoyed our stay very much but I wish this was a cleaner place. I think if it was just touched up some, it could be a 4 star place. This is especially important during this COVID thing because cleanliness is paramount in people's minds. read more

We checked in yesterday and we have decided that when we come to the Finger Lakes, this is where we will stay! Rooms are clean and spacious. You get a complimentary bottle of wine and 2 bottles of water in your room. You also get a complementary glass of wine at check in! Also free wine tastings for 2 people! Happy hour at the bar is nice. Try the chicken fingers and fresh cut fries ! Enough for 2 people! You get tastings at the on-site winery ! The view of Seneca Lake from your room is absolutely beautiful! read more

After decades of travel, we're pretty picky about our hotel accommodations. We found this gem while wine touring. Well appointed rooms with fantastic views of Lake Seneca. On the same grounds as the Winery and convenient to Watkins Glen. Friendly staff who greeted us with a complimentary bottle of wine and tasting passes. We visited in early June so the crowds were light and room rates less than $200. Plan on staying here on future visits. read more

A great place to have a wedding. Gorgeous views, even on gray winter days, the view is spectacular. Wedding was in the Veraisons restaurant, including the ceremony. Late April, the weather was good, not sunny and hot, but pretty decent for spring. Again, even with some gray clouds and cool temps, green grass, but no visible green on the vines or trees yet, it was amazing. Patio deck was a great extension of the indoor space. Inside, the wall of windows don't let you forget the location. The restaurant has added a bar/lounge area as of early 2010. Now, they have several beers on tap.. Almost all local micro-brews!! Wagner, Ithaca, Custom Brewcrafters... also had a Sam Adams seasonal. Obviously, I think these are excellent selections. Being at Glenora Wine Cellars, they only serve their own wine, which isn't great, but fair. Food was excellent, I had a large filet mignon, and the apps during the cocktail hour was amazing (especially the cheese platter, supposedly all local cheeses including an amazing brie! Staff in the restaurant and inn was also very attentive, polite, and welcoming. Perhaps one of the best reasons to have a wedding here is that your guests can sleep on-site (no drinking & driving). We took over the entire place. All the rooms face the lake, with either a deck or patio area. Post-wedding partying was easy as you could walk around outside to determine where the after-party was. The rooms were very nice, some comforters seemed a little old, but the bathrooms were beginning (very very beginning) to show their age. The room's cleanliness was immaculate, beds were comfortable, but again, rooms were beginning to show their age. Rooms would get 4.5 stars. Rumor was that ESPN takes over the entire facilities during the Watkins Glen races. While this was a review for the inn during a wedding, I think it would be a great romantic spot for a weekend getaway, however, I'm sure the word will get out about its wedding capabilities it'll be booked for most of the year. read more

I recently stayed in the Cottage at the Inn at Glenora. It was very clean and in a great location, in proximity to the center of town. I do have some safety concerns: -there is no path from the driveway to the front or side entrance to the cottage. While we were there, there was severe weather with flooding. The grass was saturated and unsafe to walk on -there is no lighting , except for a porch light. It is a very secluded area -the top step of the porch area is extremely high with no railing. Fall risk! -not sure what the purpose of the air conditioner location. Cool air does not reach bedrooms! -there was no bath mat in the bath tub. In fact, one of our group slipped and fell in the tub. Thankfully, he was not injured. Upon our request, a mat was provided. read more

Lovely experience. Staff friendly, accommodations pleasant and comfortable. The view was terrific. Happy we stayed there.

For New Years my boyfriend and I bought a room for their New Years Celebration. Our room came with a bottle of sparkling wine, chocolate covered strawberries, a fireplace, and an amazing view. The celebration started out with hors d'oeuvre in their bar area. Everything was delicious and they never had a dry platter; food kept pouring out of the kitchen. We also got a free glass of wine at the bar and a free glass of wine at the inn's main desk. We even got wine tasting vouchers. Glenora just kept giving us free wine. We made reservations at their restaurant for dinner. It was extremely tasty. There wasn't a thing we disliked. We also got complimentary breakfast the next morning and it was amazing. Everything was so fresh. We cannot wait to do this event again for this New Years. read more

I love the beautiful scenery at this inn and I understand that COVID presents new challenges. We were there with ten other people on a bike trip and I just wish the staff was a little less "annoyed" every time you'd ask for something. We all experienced it and it wouldn't take that much to change the attitude to accommodating and helpful. This was true mostly in the dining room. Also would be nice to have water or beverages or snacks to purchase in the lobby. read more

The hotel is "okay", but definitely not to the level I expected. There were a lot of disappointments around every turn. It was a clean hotel near (not on) a spralling vineyard, with generally clean rooms. Although the hotel was clean, I would not come back. Here's why: 1) Though the hotel is clean, the decor is somewhat dated. It is in need of a little TLC. For example, the doors to the vanity in our room had some chips on the bottom. The television and refrigerator were contained with an entertainment center straight out of the 90s. We didn't really come here to watch TV, but it's just indicative of the somewhat dated feel of the place. 2) This hotel is DEFINITELY on the wrong side of Lake Seneca. This was very distressing. Our options were pretty limited for dinner. Initially, our options were to eat at the inn restaurant, where the lowest meat entree was $25); go into Watkins Glen, where we had lunch and found no appetizing options, or trek 25 miles to the other side of Lake Seneca for some decent grub. We had stayed directly across from Glenora before, in Hector, and the dining options were fabulous. I guess is because the restaurants are readily accessible to guests on both Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake. Still, this is the wrong side to stay on. I would never do that again. 3) Somehow, when I made the reservation, I reserved two queen beds. This was definitely not the intent. At most hotels, two full/queens and a king are pretty much interchangeable for the same room rate. I inquired as to whether it was possible to get a king bed instead. The place was pretty much empty, so this would have seemed easy enough to accommodate. It was a Monday night. I was originally given a quote for a room that about $80 more, and then a rate fora room $50 more. They were not at all accommodating in this regard. Yes, it was my mistake for not noticing the issue before arrival, but $50 seems a HUGE price gap between two queen beds and a king. Crazy with a capital "C". 4) Though the hotel sits before a vineyard, they don't actually own the vineyard. We inquired as to whether there were any limits as to how far we could roam. Because it's "Glenora Wine Cellars", we were left wit the impression that the hotel was on a vineyard. It's not. That wasn't a huge deal, because it was okay to roam the grounds up until the point of the vines, so we got a few nice pictures, still, it was not as expected. On the plus side: 1) If you care to get wasted, you don't have to leave the property. They give you a complimentary wine tasting, a champagne toast on arrival, an a free bottle of wine in your room. 2) In the notebook in the room, we noticed there was more reasonably priced food at the Harvest Lounge, which essentially the bar. We split a calamari appetizer and both had a chicken Caesar salad. They were tasty. Most of the lounge food was typical bar food, such as chicken fingers and various (upscale) burgers. The burgers were things like falafel and crab cake, so not "horrible", but not what we were hoping for at all. Sorry this is a rather lengthy review, but if I save one couple from feeling the isolation we felt at Glenora, it will have been worth it. There is so much more to do on the other side of the lake. Unless you are looking for a fully contained experience, I'd stay on the other side of the lake where you have more options for dining and attractions. read more

The Inn At Glenora Wine Cellars - Wine tree near the restaurant. - Hotels Near Me - Dundee, New York

Just stayed this past weekend. Stopped at winery first as it was check in time yet. Asked if there was a discount if we were staying there and they said no. However, once I checked in a received a slip for a free tasting I think they should communicate a little better. Anyways great view. Everything was a little dated. Bathrooms for sure need to be re-modeled. I also brought my workout stuff as they advertised a fitness center which they should not! They have 2 treadmills and elliptical. One of the elliptical kept going off the track, the other felt like i was about to face plant, the one treadmill didn't work at all, and the other one was probably from the 80s. Needless to say I didn't end up working out which was disappointing. Likely there was a wedding there so we got fireworks and a live band which made our stay. We also enjoyed breakfast on the veranda with a wonderful view. I don't think it was worth $300! read more

My take out dinner was cold (lobster seafood thing). My wife's steak was warm but they didn't want us to take metal forks back to room. Hard to eat steak and lobster tail with plastic forks. Ugh read more

staff was helpful, rooms were clean and comfortable, but the real draws are the location and the wine. each room has a porch/patio with a fantastic view of the vineyards and seneca lake (which you can enjoy from a set of adk chairs). it's gorgeous. really a perfect spot for a getaway, or if you're exploring the seneca lake wine trail. we received a complimentary bottle of wine, as well as a glass of champagne upon our arrival. both were very good. we were also given coupons for free tastings in the tasting room. we had breakfast at the on-site restaurant. everything was very good and the menu featured lots of local fare. i look forward to visiting again. read more

Our wedding and honeymoon were cancelled due to the coronavirus. We ended up still getting married and spent the night at the Inn at Glenora. Beautiful view of lake, clean rooms and friendly staff.

Great room with a Jacuzzi tub and fire place! Loved the bottle of wine and the waters in the room. We had dinner at their restaurant and while I loved my food (pasta night) my fiance did not (short ribs). If you are picky about food, you might be in trouble here. They only had a continental breakfast that was fine for me but when you are on a no carb diet like my fiance, they have nothing. It consist of breads and oatmeal. We got the massage package which was one of the best I have had. She has been doing them here for over 8 years and I can feel why! The bed is firm in the room so if you like a soft bed, not here. The view of the lake is second to none. So some good points and some not so good. Now off to our free wine tastings! read more

I will say I loved staying in close proximity to watkins glen and the view from the inn is gorgeous. That being said, given the price per night, the room is not worth it. As others have said, the internet was almost non-existent, the TV worked when it wanted to, and the beds had huge divets in them. The mattresses must be from 2000 when the place was built. I ended up waking up every hour or so for 2 nights. I also woke up with a stiff neck. Being able to walk up to taste wine was convenient. read more

Amazing views of a vineyard and the beautiful nearby lake + affordable prices make me very happy! They even let me walk through the vineyard which was fun - I stole a grape off the vine and it was tart :) I was quite pleased after ordering glass after glass of wine without ever checking the price that the wine was so affordable. Makes sense at a vineyard, but you never know... this place has gorgeous views and yummy food. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the really lame seating - I mean honestly, cheap patio furniture? Also, the service was pretty slow, but friendly overall and that is what is important to me. I would recommend this place to anyone who is visiting the area! I had the duck and it was great! read more

Our experience at Glenora was wonderful. My boyfriend and I went during the off season, and arrived in Dundee in the middle of a blizzard. We couldn't see road signs and had to call the front desk for directions after our GPS failed us. When we finally arrived, we found that an attendant had mistakenly cancelled our reservation and I was nearly devistated. However, the owner quickly amended the mistake, and gave us the same room we had reserved previously (a perk of going in the off season...the place is pretty empty!). The room was beautiful, with a fireplace and a jacuzzi tub. The views aren't as nice in the winter, but the lake was still gorgeous once the blizzard cleared and the sun came out. As part of the package we chose, we recieved a gift card for the restaurant, and ate there on two different nights. The blue point oysters we fresh and delicious, and their soups were very good as well. We had a wine and cheese plate in our room on the first night while we watched a movie. It was brilliant. We booked a massage with their on-call massage therapist and enjoyed it in our room. Glenora's wine was fairly good. I don't think there was an we didnt' like, but we didn't find all of it particularly impressive. Nevertheless, we found plenty to take home with us. Overall, Glenora helped us have an AMAZING vacation. It was our first vacation together, and I'm willing to wager that it will be the most memorable. The staff at the Inn is congenial and attentive, and never too busy to engage in good wine conversation. The staff in the tasting room is knowledgable and entertaining. The price tag wasn't bad, either! We would definitely visit again. read more

Splendid view here especially when you come in fall when you can enjoy foliage all over the mountain along the lake.
