Our priority as hotel operators is to ensure our guests are comfortable at their "home away from home". We've got the bases covered; clean rooms, friendly faces, affordable prices. But where we shine is in hospitality. From DD to wine key we try our best to treat our guests like family; do your own thing, but we're here for you if needed. So let us know how we can improve your stay, and if we can we will.
Our property is conveniently located in the center of town. Stroll two blocks south to the entrance of the Watkins Glen State Park (aka "The Gorge") or seven blocks north to the Lakefront Pier.
Breakfast is a 30 second walk away to Savards Family Restaurant. While some people will balk because we do not offer continental breakfast at our hotel it's because 1) we don't cook as well as the professionals, 2) Savards has delicious food and is priced well, and 3) the walk to Savards is shorter than the walk from a guest room to the dining room at a large hotel. Famous Brands clothing outlet is a one minute walk away. If you forgot your hiking socks, we recommend stopping here and picking up a pair of Injinjis. The Crooked Rooster is a two minute shuffle for live music, delicious microbrews, and a taste of Watkins Glen night life. If you like microbrews YOU MUST STOP AT ROOSTERFISH!
There's even more to do and see in the area and we'll happily fill you in. Some of it you can learn about on the web, try here or here or here. Other things to do are the exclusive knowledge of the locals, for example the swimming holes at sawmill creek or the third dam (both have rope swings and cliff jumping) or the location of the hundreds of picturesque waterfalls that are off the beaten path. Having lived in Watkins since 97 we're knowledgable about the local area. We can answer most questions you have concerning directions, attractions, etc.
