Very nice place, only issu was the "breakfast included". The breakfast they provide was hostess sinle wrapped danishes, muffin and mini donuts. No fruit, bagel, eggs, toast, nothing but the pre packaged sugary treats. Orher than that, was a very nice, spacious room.

This is an old-style motor lodge one would find on a U.S. Highway in the 50s or 60s. The decor shows it. If you are seeking a fancy, glitzy resort, go elsewhere. If you want a clean, safe, convenient hotel, go here. The staff are friendly. The rooms are clean, but dated. They service the room every day! And restock your coffee! The wifi is iffy, but I think that’s a Glen problem, not theirs. Our fire stick only had some lagging. The breakfast is packaged muffins, which was great for us as we grabbed and went to WGI. Want a full spread? Go to one of the diners a 3 minute drive into town. Pool was clean, a rarity among higher priced chain motels even. Your kids will love it. We already made plans to stay for the 2026 6 Hours. The place is amazingly close to WGI. Did I mention the friendly staff?

The motel is very dated, could use a newer mattress, but the room was clean; not a bad stay for what it is (an older roadside motel), but was way overpriced (I assume due to it being the Cornell graduation weekend in nearby Ithaca).

I stayed in the King bed suite with our dog. It was very spacious and well equipped with recliners, table and chairs, desk, fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The room was a bit dated but it was clean and the price was good. There was no breakfast available but we brought our own and used the microwave for heating.

The room was older than expected, but very clean and had a cozy, homey feel to it. The beds were comfortable and it was quiet. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and the view of the lake resulted in a gorgeous sunrise.

Everything went great until the next morning when we woke up to NO water in any of the rooms. When I went to speak with someone at the front desk, there was a note saying that they had experienced a broken pipe. If it were not for the NO water I would have gave a great rating. Room was super clean and orderly.
