Decent sized room in an older motel - No real breakfast other than coffee, some packaged sweet stuff, a banana, an apple, and apple juice in convenient little bottles. Friendly, nice, helpful staff of older people from India, making the stay very pleasant and relaxed. - Hotel was overpriced when I was there, but it's summer and their location is good, but I noticed most of the rooms were empty.

It was clean and well maintained. The plug for the tub was broken, so I couldn’t use the jacuzzi. The price I was quoted on the website was less than the actual cost, which was about 100$ more. Part of that was tax. The staff was pleasant, and the bed was comfortable. I would stay again.

Good could be better scenery great.

It was great. I just had to get a refund for my extra day that I didn’t need at the end of the trip. They could really benefit from new showerheads. They have some really great ones at TJ Maxx with a bead filter $14 each would make a huge difference During the shower time. Breakfast could benefit with a cooler full of yogurt, milk, and creamer.

The only thing I did not like was that for how many rooms were empty the guests that were there were attacked next to each other. It would have been nice to be spread out a bit as it was quite loud at times late in the night. It was kind of pricey for what you get... if i go back to that area I would rather stay in Watkins Glen at a little motel in a bigger town. Montour Falls really doesn't have much going on rather than it's beautiful Waterfall.

Decent roadside motel. Nothing special - friendly and responsive owners and clean room. Price was a bit high - but compared to the more expensive places a bit closer to downtown Watkins Glen it was reasonable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The first room was filthy.moved us to another room it was better but still not good TV did not work and needs a lot of TLC so they moved us again and bed what’s very hard and jacuzzi tub was filthy. The breakfast was not even in continental breakfast just plastic wrap, muffins, and little orange juices. And apple juices.. last night there they moved someone right next-door that would not quiet down so they finally move them to a different place after I had to complain which took over an hour. We are going home in the morning about a six hour trip. I did not get to sleep till after midnight and got up at six in the morning. Not a good day. ask for a refund and they said it would have to talk to upper management. I am not expecting that to happen. Very disappointed should actually be refunded entire stay.

Located in a very quiet area, this place is great. We had a king-sized bed and a super clean room. A beautiful waterfall is located just down the street, as well as the small historical district. Super friendly staff. You can grab pre-packaged breakfast and fruit, along with coffee. You can park right next to your room, which is super convenient. Great place!
