We had a wonderful stay at the Valley Trail Inn. The newly renovated rooms felt almost brand new—spotlessly clean, modern, and very comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome; everyone was exceptionally helpful and friendly throughout our visit. You really can't beat the location, either. It's super convenient to all the local sights including the famous Watkins Glen State Park, great food, and nearby wineries. An absolute gem and a great value for the price. We will definitely be back!
