Lovely Updated Motel on Seneca Lake

Very nice updated motel with lovely, accommodating hosts. Beautiful view of the Lake from our room with outdoor balcony, too. Cute igloos are available with heaters for four to sit “ outside” and enjoy the day or evening. There is a restaurant but we did not eat there. We pull come back here again.

Beautiful views and rooms.

The hotel was so tastefully renovated and it offered nice amenities. The Owners were especially thoughtful in providing a private space for our extended family and friends to gather and they were kind and accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel.

Loved the views!

Check in was a breeze & the renovated room was nice & spacious. The view of the lake was amazing! We had breakfast at the on site restaurant both mornings & the service & food was excellent. Highly recommend the homemade sausage gravy! Improvements- The tv wasn’t a smart tv which would be preferred to access Netflix, etc. & there was no fan in the bathroom. The parking lot could use some repairs. There was hardly any guests which was quiet but on our 2nd night guests were put in the room between us & another room although there were many other rooms available. The guests were extremely loud. There didn't seem to be much sound proofing between units. Otherwise, the stay was great.

Only real issue is the heater in the room. Constantly fighting it to keep a steady temperature. Wake up sweating, then wake up freezing. Room was super clean and the view and location was perfect.
