Watkins Motel

This place was a lovely surprise. You never expect much from a motel, the rooms were very clean, beds very comfortable, and we slept really well - despite being on the main road, it was very quiet, being just that little bit set back. The owners and staff are lovely too. Be aware, there's no food provided, but there is fresh coffee, and tea making things in reception, and you can go to Toby's donut shop for breakfast (would also really recommend this) The location is great - only a 5 min walk to downtown, and 2 minutes to the State Park

This sweet, small hotel was a delight. “Old school” drive up to your room with outside entrance. The owners were very helpful and so friendly, giving us tips about the area and the park. Free coffee in the morning - no breakfast available on site, but Dunkin is right across the street. Room was very clean; small yet comfy. About a 15 minute walk to the harbor; lots of restaurant and shops in walking distance. And the main entrance to Watkins Glen State Park is a block away. No need to move the car! Definitely will stay here again first back in town - very affordable and just what we needed!

I had a great stay at Watkins Motel! The room was very clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. The staff was welcoming and made me feel at home. Parking was easy and convenient, and the location is perfect for exploring Watkins Glen. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We booked this motel a long time ago through Booking.com. The reservation was for one room with two queen beds for four people. When we arrived, the place looked very basic. It is run by East Asian staff, probably Chinese. The manager told us the room was ready but asked for an extra 30 dollars because we were four guests. In the US, hotels and motels usually charge per room, not per person, especially when no breakfast is included. And this place doesn’t offer any kind of breakfast. The room was small compared to other motels. It was very basic. The air conditioner was extremely noisy. We had to turn it off and sleep in the heat. The staff spoke only very basic English, which made communication difficult. This stay was disappointing. The unexpected extra charge felt unfair. The room

We booked this place for a night and it was perfect. The owner is friendly and helpful. She gave us tips for sightseeing and dinner. The rooms are comfortable and our parking was right outside our door. Shops, restaurants and waterfront are 10-15 min walk. The best part is the Watkins Glen State Park is across the street. We did an early morning hike and had time to come back and shower before heading out. We would definitely come back.
