Finger Lakes Inn was easy to get to, and I was driving from lower Westchester. My room was clean and inviting. The staff was polite and were knowledgeable of the area. I lost my hotel key, and a replacement was given without any hassle. The price point was exactly what I was willing to pay. All in all, a very good place to stay. My stay was from 10/11-10/13/25.

It was by far the smallest hotel room I have ever been in. It did not look this small in the pictures by any means. The elevator made an atrocious noise every time. Every night the inside main door was left to jar so anybody could just walk in even if you were not a guest. I just think the price was too high for the size of the room but if you don't care about that then it's okay to stay in. It was a one bed queen room that just my husband and I stayed in but I still felt claustrophobic.
