The hotel offers beautiful and spotless rooms, but the fridge was very loud at 8.30. The service was super nice and professional, with friendly and helpful staff, offering room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, welcome drink, and happy hour. The location is excellent, lakeside at the north end of Franklin St, with Watkins Glen State Park nearby. The dining experience was amazing, but not worth the price.
