Fine for one night, just arrive during the day
The staff at the front desk and I. The restaurant were super friendly and understanding. The food was ok. It was nice to have something on campus after a long drive. You’re given a map and I didn’t read closely and took the word “hotel” wrong. I had even messaged ahead of time to be “close to the elevator/lobby due to traveling alone with a little one and having plenty of stuff. This is a recently renovated motel. My first impression unfortunately was not great as I arrived at night. They do give you a helpful map, but you have to go down a dark hill and it’s off a fairly busy highway. Everything was very dark and I was unusually nervous about the surroundings because my room’s back door was unlatched (I checked all 3) and it had a wobbly deadbolt once I did lock it, and I was traveling alone with a small child. It was so dark, I didn’t realize there was a drop off there, so chance of someone getting in was quite low, thankfully. The one bed didn’t have a top sheet under the duvet, which was likely and oversight, so I chose the other one. Rooms don’t have phones so you can’t call the front desk which was frustrating. Good number of pillows, relatively comfortable bed, new fridge for milk, snacks etc. Fell asleep after settling down around 2am. Bathroom was recently upgraded. Relatively clean. Average-pricey for what you get, but I know it’s peak season and come morning, I did appreciate the beautiful view. I felt better once I woke up, but it was time to leave.

The room was small but comfortable, the bathroom had no exhaust fan so when taking a shower everything became wet from condensation. Great view of Seneca Lake but it was way over priced.

The property overlooks Seneca Lake with unobstructed views. Serene n picturesque. Nice outside deck to relax n enjoy the view. My room had a balcony which was perfect for privacy. Now for the concerns. A gas odor was prevalent inside the lobby n check in area on both days that I was present. The hotel's restaurant was closed during my two day stay which was a huge disappointment.

Location is so amazing over-looking Lake Seneca and just less than 5 minutes drive from downtown. Room clean and with everything you need (fridge, microwave, coffee maker, iron). Staff Glenna and Haley so accommodating and courteous. Will definitely stay here the next time we come back. Highly recommended for everybody

Very clean and updated. Shower very nice. Bed comfortable. View of lake. The only negative is there is no counter space in the bathroom to lay your toiletries. Enjoyed our 3 night stay.

Room was clean and in good condition. The beds were nice and comfortable. View from hotel is magnificent. Hotel restaurant opens on Wednesdays Only negative was the temperature of the water in shower took long time to warm up and then very hot and touchy. My niece never got it to be hot the morning we were leaving. Also, there needs to be a grab bar somewhere in that shower as it is all glass and tile. Hard to wash the bottoms of your feet and could be dangerous.

The room had a balcony and overlooked Seneca lake. The view was beautiful. Rooms were clean and updated but obviously an older building. Could have used a few more outlets and no exhaust fan in the bathroom. A little pricey. The restaurant was good. The people were nice but not there all the time. Overall a good place.

The room was clean and comfortable, comfortable beds, balcony with view of the lake was awesome! The only negative was the bathroom, particularly the shower. The design of the shower made it impossible to adjust the water without being under it, and the half glass door made it impossible to avoid getting water on the bathroom floor.

GM was very accommodating. Restaurant staff was wonderful. Restaurant could be open later. Shower design was odd (only 1/2 panel) leading to wet floor. Bathroom was small. Deck with firepits was awesome.

The Hotel Laurel on Seneca lake was an absolute treat! We were in town for the annual Classic Grand Prix weekend, so the location of The Hotel Laurel was ideal. The RECEPTIONIST at check in was so pleasant, and had all necessary paperwork printed out and ready for us. She provided a map of the hotel grounds, as there are several buildings containing rooms, all with lake views. She also provided a list of breakfast restaurants in the area, since their restaurant/grill is not open for breakfast. The refurbished ROOM was clean, nicely decorated and we scored a room with a private balcony, (all the rooms have lake view balconies, but not all have privacy barriers). The shower was nicely powerful, the sink water drinkable (not the case with the other Watkin’s Glen hotels we’ve stayed at over the years). The room has a fridge and micro, large counter, table and seating, large tv, nicely firm mattress, A/C and plenty of pillows, plus an extra. The RESTAURANT was a delight. Full bar and a custom mixed drinks menu to start. The grill menu has interesting apps and entrees, the food was great - menu is online. TYLER was our server and he was attentive, friendly and careful to ascertain our desired speed of enjoying our cocktails and meal. He did not rush us through cocktails, apps or the meal at all, yet didn’t keep us waiting for the check when we were done. We will happily be staying and dining at The Hotel Laurel during all of our Watkin’s Glen events from now on!

The sheets weren't cleaned properly. There was what looked like a small blood stain on the comforter. We didn't use it. Luckily it wasn't cold.
