Watkins Motel, hotel in Watkins Glen

Just 3 minutes’ walk from Watkins Glen State Park, this motel is located in Watkins Glen, New York, 15 minutes’ walk from Seneca Lake. WiFi access is provided free of charge.

It was fine. Clean and comfortable and right across the street from the gorge we had hoped to hike. Unfortunately it was pouring down rain, so that didn't work out, but we'd book there again! Great little bar/restaurant right around the corner that we walked to.

    Watkins glen state Park, Havana glen Park both have amazing scenery and waterfalls. The state park is definitely a two hour plus hike all around and is worth every step. Havana Glen is a very short walk can be done in 30 mins however you are walking right alongside a gorgeous multi level waterfall. The town itself is gorgeous and clean very quaint and boutique like. The harbor front was absolutely stunning with endless views of Seneca Lake and a gorgeous boardwalk to take in all the views. Highly recommend Lakewood Vineyards when driving along the wine trail. Everything is so close together from the parks to the wineries. Watkins Glen is truly a magical place . Recommend a minimum of two days to explore the main attractions at a leisurely pace

    Very nice, clean town. Felt very safe walking at night.

    Very nice, clean town. Felt very safe walking at night. Trails at the Glen were very nice walking, very scenic. Make sure to inquire about trail closures though. Gorge trail closes early November but South rim was closed for maintenance this time.

    The Gorge trail is something you need to see.

    The Gorge trail is something you need to see. You can take all the pictures you want, but it doesn’t portray just how mesmerizing it is. We went early in the morning and hardly anyone was there and we were able to take our time and enjoy it, but by the time we headed back up the gorge, it was crowded. If you are staying in town, and looking for a good restaurant, Jerlandos Italian restaurant is a great option. Very reasonable prices and the best garlic bread. If you like the old motor courts, then you’ll like Gorgeous View Motel. Very basic room, but clean and has a microwave, fridge and coffee pot in the room. Driveway up to the room is a little sketchy, but you have a nice view of the lake from your porch. After you visit Watkins Glen, a few miles down the road in Montour Falls is a waterfall right in town. It’s worth making a detour to see it

    There are so many wineries! One could spend days just visiting wineries. The town is quaint. Lots of restaurants to choose from. My only disappointment was that i didn't have time to see the falls.

    There is a huge variety of experiences available in Watkins Glen, from hiking, boating and swimming, to shopping and dining. Hiking the state park is an awe-inspiring experience, and dozens of wineries nearby offer tours and tastings.

    Absolutely spectacular. Biucket list place to visit.

    Absolutely spectacular. Biucket list place to visit. We spent all afternoon hiking in the Glen. The waterfalls and trails are beautiful. Get the shuttle pass. Start at the north lot and hike down then use the shuttle to go back up and do the rim trails. Use the shuttle to go back up again. The ice cream at the north lot is excellent. Wear anti slip hiking boots. everything is wet. Try to go on a non race weekend. It was a little crowded and of course not everyone is polite. People can get crazy with their selfie sticks. Defintely wirth a trip. Great little town and jump off point to do the wine trail around Seneca lake.

    Lovely view, friendly staff, delicious food, PLUS an amiable, resident chocolate lab named Rocky. What more could anyone ask for? Oh! And in case you've never been to Watkins Glen State Park - 1. GO! 2. Park at the "north" or Upper Entrance and walk DOWN the gorge. Then take shuttle or Uber back up to your car. :-) Shuttle is generally only available on weekends during the school year so maybe double check on that, and/or arrange your Uber way in advance.

    The receptionist was friendly, efficient, and accommodating. She gave us excellent advice about visiting the state park and how best to walk the Gorge Trail, as well as the location of local eateries. Our room was clean and comfortable, just right for our stay. We really appreciated the eco-friendly soap and shampoo dispensers in the bathroom, too. The location of the motel was perfect—just a short walk from Watkins Glen State Park.

    Our room overlooked the lake and had a balcony which was perfect. Very clean. Good location very close to shops and restaurants, an easy walk. We can recommend an excellent restaurant next door. Loved the fire pits in the garden. Water and soft drinks can be purchased in the hotel. Lots of parking spaces. Very knowledgeable and friendly gardeners and the cleaners were helpful.

    Breakfast was perfect - Dining with the other guests made it really special, talking about our days ahead, and getting to know people from all around the States, as well as the hosts. Watkins Glen, and Lake Seneca - are excellent places - Wineries, Breweries, boat ride, as well as hiking on the trails kept us busy during our stay. Really enjoyable stay

    This is a highway motel. Surprisingly comfortable and not too noisy. I always judge a hotel by its bathroom. A1. Clean fresh caulk shows they care. Great location at the base of the lake in Watkins Glen. Close to everything. Very nice Continental breakfast. plenty of fruit, fresh bread, bagels and packaged pastries.

    Beautiful, clean hotel that was in the perfect location for a relaxing weekend in the Finger Lakes. Super comfy room and hotel was central to endless wineries/breweries along both sides of the lake. Walking distance down to the harbor and downtown Watkins Glen restaurants. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend here :)

    I was happy with this 2 star hotel, I only stayed for couple of nights whilst driving through the region and mostly picked this for location and price. Location is great, very close to Watkins Park for walking and close to the lake and town, all within walking distances. The prices were reasonable.

    The location in Montour Falls is very convenient for a visit to Watkins Glen State Park, roughly 2 miles north. Across the street from the motel is an entrance to a rail trail hiking/biking path that leads right into the city of Watkins Glen.
