Just needing a few tweaks...

Had a very nice time. They offer a very clean facility with friendly staff. Great food and a nice bar. Maybe because it's November, but, they had no entertainment at least in the weekend. The hotel was busy but the town was sleepy. Also, went back to the hotel at 6 pm to find housekeeping still cleaning the room. Hardwood floors allowed one to hear the footsteps on the upper floors. Otherwise, I would still go back to the hotel. Their beds are so comfortable!

Great Hotel at a very reasonable price

This is a excellent hotel at the far end of Seneca lake - one of upstate New York's Lakes. The only minor problem was the Bathroom sink stopper did not work. The rooms were spacious and well taken care of. The price was stunningly low. The staff was warm and helpful. The hotel gets my highest recommendations !!!

Wonderful Hotel in a Great Location

The hotel is in a beautiful setting, it is immaculately clean, the rooms are very comfortable. Additionally, they have a whole bunch of "extra's" which are very noticeable, i.e coffee in the hallway in the a.m., towels folded in wonderful ways, beds turned down at nite with chocolates on the pillows.

Great spot to relax on the way to a week of work

My wife and I stopped in for one night as a stopover on our way driving from the Philadelphia area to Toronto. We had the opportunity to walk the streets as well as the Gorge. The hotel bar and restaurant atmosphere was so pleasent that, after sitting by the fire pit with a drink, we decided to eat dinner there. I NEVER eat in the hotel, as I really enjoy getting out and experimenting with the local cuisine. Anyway, the dinner was delicious, we enjoyed a long comfortable sleep, and departed rested the next day. I wish we had the opportunity to stay on at the Harbor Hotel as a starting point for a few days of winery visits.

Wedding destination

Lovely view of the lake. Quiet, except that the floors are faux hardwood and you could hear people walking in adjoining rooms. Staff was great, rooms immaculate, bed very comfortable. Stayed 2 nights. Would recommend it to friends and family.

The Most Upscale Hotel in a Small City we have exp

The Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel is an upscale modern facility with decorator touches throughout. Upon entering the restaurant and bar areas are fashionable treated with polished hardwoods, the hallways are a bright modern palate. The rooms are spacious, I repeat spacious. Comfortable, king-sized beds, a walk-in shower, oversize hang up closet, desk and large couch. We were late booking and did not get the Lake view…for the romantics this is a must. The bathroom has dramatic decorator lighting, as with the adjacent make-up area. The large shower had a hand-held removable wand, but lacked water pressure. WiFi is avalable, but low speed and buggy. Being on a fixed budget, we did not eat in the restaurant. However we found a gem in the “Coldwater Bar.” Our bartender, Adam, was knowledgeable and friendly. He even helped first time tourists customize their drinks to their preference. The bar menu was limited, but within budget. The hamburger I ordered might have been the biggest and best prepared I’ve had in 20 years. The rooms are a bit pricey, but worth every penny.

Lovely hotel located in Watkins Glen, on the shore of Seneca Lake. We used this as our home base while we explored the wineries in the area. Staff at the hotel were very friendly and accommodating.

Wonderful Getaway

The Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel was a wonderful 2-day getaway. It is in a beautiful area with a lovely town and situated right on Lake Seneca. The view was beautiful, especially from the room. The hotel is lovely; very new & very well maintained. The grounds are just as lovely. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, and the dining was excellent too. There is a lot to do in the area with many wineries to visit, and the Watkins Glen State Park right down the road. The park is a day trip in itself with (19) waterfalls to view hiking up the side of a mountain. All in all, a wonderful retreat away from home.

romantic weekend getaway

This was a romantic weekend getaway with my husband. The hotel was absolutely beautiful inside and out. The staff was very perfessional and helpful. The room was gorgeous. A bit pricey, but for a once in awhile TREAT to yourself, it's well worth it. I would love to go back in the fall. The view of Seneca Lake was awesome!
