Staff was super friendly, on site restaurant had great food with good sized portions for the price. The views of the lake for morning sunrise was worth it alone. Will stay there again.

A Hidden Gem with Unforgettable Views! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're looking for a perfect getaway in Watkins Glen, look no further than The Hotel Laurel. From the moment you arrive, the staff welcomes you with a genuine warmth that makes you feel right at home. Their attentiveness and hospitality go above and beyond, ensuring that every guest feels valued and cared for. The true magic of The Hotel Laurel, however, is found on the private balconies of its rooms. Step outside, and you're greeted with a spectacular panoramic view of Seneca Lake—a sight that truly takes your breath away, whether it's the golden hues of sunrise or the shimmering reflections at sunset. Sitting on the balcony with a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine is an experience in itself, offering a peaceful escape that melts away the stresses of daily life. Pair that with beautifully maintained accommodations, a convenient location near Watkins Glen State Park, and a tranquil ambiance that elevates your stay—The Hotel Laurel is an absolute must for anyone visiting the Finger Lakes region. Highly recommended!

Friendly, helpful staff. The rooms were very clean, comparable and roomy. It was nice having your own private balcony with a beautiful view overlooking the lake. I would definitely stay there again.

The view was great. Too bad it rained the whole time. The little covered deck worked well. My tv didn’t work but it got fixed. They didn’t serve breakfast as advertised. The ice machine was a little walk up the hill. Was surprised the front office was closed at times but that also was advertised. It was quiet and clean. Very comfortable beds and pillows.

Great view of the lake on the balcony. Very private, clean and well appointed room. Parking was convenient and short drive to downtown shopping. The breakfast was very good at the inn, I would recommend for a reasonably priced motor inn in Watkins Glen.

Beautiful scenery

Beautiful scenes set in the ledge of the lake. Quiet and just outside the main stretch of town. Everything was within 5 mins of our location. Small town vibe was just as quaint.
