Guest Reviews
- Lloyd (9/5): -
- kevin (10/5): Well worth the stay - The view was great the view of the lake was awesome there was a full rainbow following a light shower
- Kelly (8/5): - Excellent location Friendly staff The shower had a very strange setup. Whole bathroom got real damp because only half the shower was closed. Restaurant was closed on Sunday & Monday.
- Suzanne (9/5): - Views Restaurant wasn’t always open I guess they are working on it
- John (9/5): - Great staff, great location, super quiet and no problems. Dated decor, overall super clean and beds comfortable
- Amit (10/5): -
- April (9/5): Great View, Awesome Stay! - The renovation is very good. The bed is comfy, and the shower is amazing—tons of Hot water. The all tile bathroom is terrific. New owners have put a lot of love into this business. Wish there was an exhaust Fan in the bathroom. A ceiling fan would be good as well. A real nightstand instead of a table between the beds would be better than the small metal table. When traveling with medical equipment, it's not really big enough for 2 people to share
- Lori (9/5): Perfect place to stay! CLEAN facility with great views, friendly staff, fantastic location. - The location was excellent, and having the restaurant on the property was a huge bonus - especially since I am celiac and they had options for me and made me feel safe about the food prep. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! The staff were friendly and very helpful, offering ideas for what to do in the area and sharing the area's history! I highly recommend.
- Patty (10/5): -
- Marin (10/5): Amazing views, right on the lake! Great for a short stay. - My husband and I spent the night... it was a short stay! I really enjoyed the views at the hotel, this hotel sits directly on the lake. Waking up and drinking a cup of coffee on the balcony was so relaxing. I also enjoyed the fact that you can park directly infront of your room. It was also clean and worth the price. I enjoyed it all. There was nothing I would say that did not meet the expectations.
- gianluca (6/5): Ok per una notte - Bella la vista sul lago, la zona soggiorno é ampia. Comodo il parcheggio La cucina del nostro appartamento era completamente priva di utensili (non c erano neppure delle posate, ma solo alcuni bicchieri usa e getta) e di piano cottura. Al nostro arrivo la corrente era staccata, il frigorifero spento, la camera gelida. Il bagno é cieco, senza aspiratore ne climatizzazione.
- Joe (10/5): - Absolutely fantastic all the way around
- NIKI (8/5): -
- Barbara (8/5): Our stay was great! Would definitely go back to this hotel. - Location was great. The outdoor spaces made the stay! The views of the lake were gorgeous. People and property upkeep were lovely. The outdoor patio furniture could have been nicer. The bathroom was a little small and the shower partition did not work well for a larger adult.
- jean-claude (9/5): Very pleasant stay, would go back there. - Location is amazing. Nice view of the lake. Only a couple of minutes away from Watkins glen Ice requires to go outside, could be a problem in rainy days
- Craig (9/5): Panoramic views of Seneca Lake and unbeatable prices makes this a can’t-miss destination. - The location was stunning, as were the views. We loved the remodeling, but wished the bathroom was just a touch cleaner. Still, the views were stunning and the amenities were wonderful!
- Kerry (8/5): Wonderful - The view was great . The place was clean . It was quiet and peaceful. Parking was great . The bathroom needs a fan . We were given an adjoining room which was locked but the doors were hollow and noise traveled from the other room . The door leading to the balcony was not an exterior door but a hollow interior door .
- Karen (10/5): This was our 3rd stay, we will be back! - The views of the lake are so beautiful! We enjoyed spending time relaxing on your new wood deck as well as the balcony.
- Mark (9/5): - The view was spectacular The walls are thin, so we could hear people in the room next to us.
- Mary Beth (8/5): It is fine for anyone not staying in much - Beautiful view of the lake Lack of table shelves something in a large bathroom
- Annemarie (7/5): It has a beautiful view of the lake no matter where your room is located..you get a great view. Is - All of the staff was very friendly and helpful
- Roberto (9/5): -
- Kevin (9/5): -
- sue (10/5): - Beautiful setting
- Sally (7/5): -
- Chris (10/5): -
- Eric (10/5): The location was central to EVERYTHING and the view was amazing! - The location was central to EVERYTHING and the view was amazing! Everything was great
- Card (9/5): Will definitely return someday. - The view of Senaca Lake Cleaning crew
- Ann (9/5): Perfect location, great staff, nice facilities. - The amazing view, the outside deck area, the bar and restaurant. NA
- Danielle (10/5): A Quiet Location with a Beautiful view of Lake Seneca - The hotel was a very quiet, clean, and basic hotel with a beautiful view of Lake Seneca. Multiple pillows, comfortable bed. A mini fridge. A blow dryer and plenty of storage space. No noise. The staff was very accommodating and responsive to inquiries. For example, I checked in late (9pm) and requested a late checkout. They approved this without a problem. The only thing I did not like was the shower. For some reason hotels install shower doors that only cover half of the bathtub area, and water gets all over the floor. Maybe it is easier to clean? Anyways, I do not understand this design. A curtain would be more practical....other than that, it was a great location.
- Hanley (8/5): I would return - View Bathroom was freezing and I would have liked a steady fan on in the room
- Matthew (10/5): - The view really is spectacular. Once the moon came clear of the clouds, the snow on the surrounding hillsides made for an enchanted evening. It was peaceful and quiet all night. The staff made sure the driveway and parking lot had been cleared and salted, so getting in and out was a breeze. The motel is 2 minutes from downtown with easy access to food and local amenities. The unit was very clean and updated. Loved the shower. The bed was very comfortable without being overly soft and there were plenty of pillows There wasn't a door mat to knock snow off our shoes on the way in.
- evgeshuashua (8/5): - I liked the price-to-quality ratio. When we arrived, there was no one at the reception and the building was closed. The phone number listed on the website was incorrect. There was a phone number for the administrator on the entrance door; she explained where to get the keys. I don't speak English, which made this a bit difficult. Another downside: in winter the hotel restaurant is closed, and this is not mentioned on the website
- Joshua (10/5): Definitely will be back! - Excellent spot and extremely great location! Nothing bad to say at all!
- Dawn (10/5): -
- Gabrielli (10/5): Comfy room with a nice private balcony - Loved the private balcony. The view of the lake in the morning was amazing. There was nothing I didn’t like.
- virginia (9/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): - Great views, friendly staff and great dinner at the restaurant! Highly recommend!
- Joseph (9/5): Water views close to Watkins Glen. Wine and water falls - Water front views and easy access to area Some dated fixtures
- Angela (9/5): Good value for money and recommend to others loooking for some quiet, scenic accomodation - The view of Seneca lake was amazing. Just a short drive down to Watkins Glen, a very pretty village. It is quiet and every room has a view of Seneca Lake. Nothing to dislike
- claudia (10/5): peaceful, clean, lovely, comfortable...we'll be back! especially because of Lisa - we met Lisa at the front desk who basically did everything for us. she was a joy to be with and around. Lisa went out of her way to give us the best experience after we had previously arrived at our vrbo that did NOT match the pictures and booking. we were thankful to have the laurel to land. that we only were able to stay two nights and got there later in the day on Friday due to the mix up at the original booking for vrbo
- Ka Yee (8/5): -
- Alfred (9/5): Definitives a recommendation. Will considet - Top Location overlooking the lake.
- Patrick (10/5): -
- Gail (7/5): Great location providing a comfortable and relaxing stay on Seneca Lake. - Location was outstanding with a beautiful view of Seneca Lake. Breakfast was poor with slow service and unappetizing food.
- ester (10/5): בוקר נפלא מול אגם סנקה - חדר חדש, מרווח, נקי ומאובזר. בקו ראשון לאגם סנקה. מתאים לשהייה של לילה או שניים בדרך חזרה ממפלי הניאגרה לניו יורק היה מושלם למעט זה שהיה חסר קומקום בחדר. אבל הסתדרנו עם מים חמים מתוך מכונת הקפה
- Sofranko (10/5): Love The Hotel Laurel! - Loved it! Cute motel right on the water. No frills but just a cute place. Nothing
- Denise (9/5): Pleasant, relaxing - Location, room comfort
- Stacie (9/5): - View is amazing. Employees were wonderful, helpful and friendly. Will be back!
- Gerrity (7/5): A very good stop over when you’re car tripping - The location The restaurant was closed
- yumi (10/5): -
- Cheryl (7/5): We enjoyed the view, comfortable beds, great location but room is on the small side. - Location and proximity to Watkins Glen. The view was great! Refrigerator was nice to have available to use. Comfortable bed. We felt it could have been cleaner. Water in the shower was cold. The room is rather small.
- Eric (10/5): - Good place too stay for anything you need to do in Watkins Glen or surrounding areas and beautiful views.
- Nardi (10/5): - Loved the view. It was upgraded and clean. We really liked the fire pits and the balcony in the room. The service in the restaurant was off. It was like it was the servers first day. Our dirty plates remained on the table long after the meal was over. When I went to check out, there was no one at the front desk. I had to leave the room keys on the desk, which made me feel uncomfortable because I had signed a paper saying that I promised to return the keys.
- Susan (10/5): - Lovely view and nicely updated proprty
- Christian (10/5): - Great place with a beautiful view
- Laurie (10/5): View is amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean. - Breakfast was very good Shower splashes a little into the tile floor.
- Charles (9/5): Great place to stay during a stay in the Finger Lakes. Talk to the hotel about your ADA needs, if n - Spectacular, unobtstructed vies of Lake Seneca. 5+++ stars. Great location, just 1 mile outside Watkins Glen. Comfortable bed. Bathroom a little scary. Slippery shower floor with nothing to hold on, except a glass wall, which is very dangerous if it breaks.
- Anthony (8/5): - Excellent lake view
- M Lynne (10/5): - This place is not perfect, but I love it for the things you cannot get anymore at other hotels. The best part is the view over the lake, the patio facing the lake; you can open the windows. And they do a nice job keeping the rooms clean and fresh. Great people running the place too.
- Dun Sheng (6/5): - Yes
- Donna (10/5): - This property is right outside of the town of Watkins glen. Convenient to everything around it. The rooms all face Lake Seneca which is gorgeous to view from our porch. The room was clean and the staff were very nice. We had our own parking space right in the front of the room. It's an older motel but the rooms were updated with a fridge and a microwave. Great price also!
- WENDY (8/5): - We stayed in a junior suite. It was nice to have the extra space. Actually 2 motel rooms. It was clean and comfortable. We did not like being on the ground floor. Our patio was right on the unpaved parking lot. If we sat out there we sat looking at our car
- Kimberly (8/5): Good, but expensive - It is an older hotel, but renovated. It was pretty good, but not worth the $136 plus it cost.
- Thomas (10/5): - Nice clean room with good pricing. Great view overlooking the lake! Restaurant/bar on site with good food!
- Naffraz (10/5): - Clean room, staff at the restaurant is the best.
- Augestad (10/5): - Klassisk motell som er oppgradert og renovert de siste årene
- Hemmerly (10/5): - The food was not so good.
- Rose (8/5): - Very clean and comfortable. However, the food wasn’t very good.
- Margaret (9/5): Very nice spot. You just need to have patience in the restaurant. There was 1 waitress/ bartender - Balcony view of Seneca Lake. Beautifully remodel room Poor restaurant staffing
- William (10/5): - Friendly staff. Great view of the lake. Outstanding value. Restaurant breakfast was very good and reasonably priced.
- Kevin (9/5): Great Stay - Beautiful sunrise views. Front desk staff very friendly and accommodating
- Naama (9/5): - View, stuffs No breakfast
- Mila (10/5): - The lake view was beautiful. They also had a fabulous deck area with tables chairs to enjoy the view and hangout at. Dining was convenient and could walk up to. Dining room had big windows and view of lake. We ate breakfast & diner there. Food was good. Very convenient to Walkins Glen park and downtown. Great location to many activities.
- Jodi (10/5): Loved the location, food, view and room - The view, staff and food! Nothing
- Sandra (10/5): - Very nice, newly remodeled room. Comfortable bed. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Close to everything we wanted to visit. Beautiful views.
- Donna (10/5): - Beautiful views of Seneca Lake.
- Miriam (10/5): - Nice facilities, room & outside sitting areas & dining room. Very comfortable & good location. Staff were all friendly & helpful.
- Lisa (8/5): The view is amazing! - Love the view and the location close to town. The deck with chairs and firepits was nice. We will be back. Beds aren't the greatest. Requested connecting rooms, but didn't get them.
- Laura (9/5): Ideal location - Lake view right outside our room. Parking right in front of room. Fire pits on deck. Easy drive to Watkins glen park! Pillows were flat but okay. Really minor compared to overall experience
- Suzanne (10/5): Great location, super clean! Will visit again. - Great location, beautiful view of the lake, nice deck for hanging out. Super clean.
- Amanda (10/5): Beautiful, clean, lake view balcony room - Staff is friendly and helpful. Room is spacious and clean. You can’t beat the view from the balcony. Highly recommend
- Kristen (10/5): - Clean, cozy room with a beautiful balcony. We also loved the communal deck space, which has a gorgeous view of the lake. We used the tables during the day and the fire tables at night.
- Jacqueline (10/5): - Great location with an amazing view. Close to shops and plenty of wineries. This is a great location if you plan to be out and about all day and just need a place to sleep and shower. There is a small fridge/microwave and coffee maker. The restaurant on side was nice with a great view of the lake. A little expensive and a very limited menu. There is a patio area with seating and gas fire pits. Would definitely consider staying again.
- Vicki (10/5): - Enjoyed this property with beautiful view from our balcony of Seneca Lake. There are lower rooms, but those would have cars parked where you sit outside your room. I would return and stay again, but only if I could get a balcony room. Staff was welcoming, personable & professional. Spoke with servers, maintenance, front desk check in, etc. ALL were exceptional and I look forward to staying here again. Such a convenient location to downtown Watkins Glen and sights in the surrounding area.
- Meenakshi (8/5): - We loved the lakefront property with amazing morning views.
- Cathy (10/5): - We loved the scenic location and lovely room.
- Sophia (10/5): - Friendly stuff , nice restaurant with delicious food , nice view of the Seneca lake close to downtown Watkins glenn
- Lindsay (10/5): - Very convenient place to stay, close to Watkins Glen and wineries. Great restaurant on site for breakfast or dinner. Beds were good, room and bathroom was clean. Outside light was bright at night and curtain did not block it out so that was annoying. Otherwise excellent and new large deck with lots of seating to sit out on and enjoy the lake views!
- Sharon (10/5): - The room was nice and the beds very comfortable, not saggy and not super stiff, we both had an amazingly good sleep, which very rarely happens on our first night sleeping in a new place. it was our second time eating dinner at The Laurel’s in house restaurant. There are interesting food choices, the bruschetta with goat cheese was a delight. The only negative is, this is the second time in two years we’ve gone, where the person to seat you, bartender, table busser, and wait staff are all the same person. He managed every table in the restaurant himself, which is not as successful as they might think. The wait for everything from being seated to getting the check was quite long. Being the second time that we’ve hit the “one person runs the whole show” situation, on a Friday night, makes me believe they are opting for this lack of staffing. For the first time we had time for breakfast in the morning, and it was the same exact situation. This time there was a delightful woman who was running around like crazy, seating people, getting coffee, handing out menus and utensils, delivering food, bussing and bringing the check. Although both the night staff person and the morning staff person were very positive, it was a bit uncomfortable, watching them constantly on the run to get something for someone at some table or another. The Santa Fe omelette was outstanding, eggs Benedict were overcooked and bland. We’ll opt to dine in town from now on.
- Lisa (10/5): - 50’s property recently renovated was very clean, had a great view of Seneca Lake from the private balcony, great outdoor deck with fire pits to view the lake, and restaurant on site.
- Linda (7/5): -
- Coralee (8/5): -
- Susan (10/5): Lake views in a nice hotel just up the road from the town of Watkins Glen. - We enjoyed the deck outside the room with a view of the lake and the deck with fire pits for enjoying lake views with friends. The restaurant overlooked the motel and the lake and it was nice to enjoy a delicious breakfast in that setting. I learned the motel has quite a history related to Watkins Glen racing, and many celebrities stayed there back in the day.
- Michele (9/5): Had a wonderful evening sitting by the fire pit and seeing the view! Would definitely recommend and return! - Beautiful room and view! Needs more outlets and dimmer lights
- John (4/5): - Nice motel outside Watkins Glen with wonderful lake views. Rooms were renovated and clean but seemed to lack some finishing touches. Stayed during the week and place was very quiet however the staff at check in was more concerned with watching his inappropriate music videos on TV than checking me in or providing much information about the hotel. While just outside of town it is definitely not walkable to downtown
- Marianne (8/5): Nice stay and beautiful lake view! - If you want an amazing lake view each morning for a reasonable price, this is the place. Beautiful view of the lake. Our particular room had a view below our balcony of what looked like some left over construction material which would add to the ambiance if removed. It didn't bother me, but trying to give a true picture for others. The fall weather is perfect right now for enjoying the outdoors, and staying here we were very close to Watkins Glen State Park and all the wineries and breweries surrounding the lake. The inside of all these rooms have been completely remodeled. This isn't a 5-star hotel, however, the room was neat, nicely decorated and comfortable. The bathroom was completely renovated--it was small, but fine for the two of us. There is no exhaust fan for pulling moisture out of the bathroom, so the mirror fogs up, but can be wiped down with a towel of course. The shower had great pressure, and was relaxing. The caulking around the bottom edge of our shower needs to be cleaned better. Staff were friendly, and the Laurel grill had a great bar for watching sunday night football. There is a beautiful deck for sitting out in the evening, we just weren't able to use it since we had gone to the wineries and breweries. Not enough moonlight to light up the lake, but they had string lights across the deck and would make a nice evening to talk and mingle with other guests. Would stay here again!
- Jeanne (9/5): Quiet, clean, and wonderful view with restaurant on site so you could have a cocktail or two and not worry about driving - The view was fantastic and the rooms were clean and updated. Restaurant on property was very helpful
- Casey (10/5): Nice updated motel with great views - We (two adults two younger kids) came to Watkins Glen for race weekend and this was one of the last places available. We lucked out! This is a clean, comfortable motel with excellent views of Seneca Lake. Kudos to the new owners for breathing new life into the property. If we're back for another race we'll be back.
- David (6/5): - I guess seeing the nice rooms w balconies drew us to enjoy our 50th Class Reunion at the Laurels . We were given a basement room w small window. Not what we expected at all.
