錨海旅館(The Anchor Inn)

Bella esperienza

More of what we would call a motel. Outdated, no amenities, bathroom tile a bit questionable. To be fair, this is a resort area and our trip was not summer.

Everything was more than appropriate, just that there was some type of construction going on directly in front of the building. Also, the angled parking spaces are not conducive for backing out and exiting the property, since they are angled away from the only entrance/exit that can be accessed. Everything else was great, and I would stay again.

We were able to check in early and unload our car and then visit wineries and dinner without having to break into our day. Rooms have been remodeled and are huge. The view of Seneca Lake from tge shared balcony is beautiful. The road to the Inn was paved while we visited, so it's very nice. Their entrance driveway is intimidating; not something that I'd like to drive on snow/ice. Our room didn't have a clothes rack; we assume it will be installed soon. They made sure we had plenty of clean towels. The water was hot and the pressure good in the sink, but the shower head/diverter should be replaced for a better shower experience. We would definitely stay here again. It looks like they are continuing upgrades, which is nice to see. Great value! They don't really have a breakfast, but the coffee is good, prepackaged muffins, fresh apples and bananas, and boxed juice. There are great diners not far away for great breakfasts. As a friend said, "this is a pre breakfast".

Bare bones motel, but it was clean and bed was comfortable, great view. The price was right. Mini fridge and Microwave in the king room that we had. Not really walking distance to town, 2 miles to the middle of town but close enough to good restaurants, wineries, shops and the main entrance to Watkins Glen State park (which was awesome). The only downside to this place was the ridiculously steep and not well maintained driveway. If you have a large vehicle, RV, motorcycle you won’t like it! There was construction going on of new units behind the existing motel, but did not affect us at all. Cute Tiki bar/pub across the street.

The parking was a 20 degree angle up and on a motorcycle it was intimidating. Made the wife walk up the first time up and down, the second time went down and back up no problem. We were there on a Tuesday so the nearest open dining was about 3/4 miles away. Otherwise a great place clean and friendly the staff and other guests. I will definitely stay again!

Our room was very clean and the service was excellent. However, by the time we had breakfast or the options that you had there at the facility had run out at 8:30 AM. The lady at the hostess desk told us there would be breakfast out the day before, how I anticipated, having even a muffin or some fruit. But they were all gone.

Great location not far from the town of Watkins Glen but not really walkable. Lovely large balcony overlooking the lake. Tiki bar closed for the season. Large trucks passing throughout the day heading to Salt Mill down the road. Be prepared to drive your car up a very steep hill to park. No real breakfast as such when we were there, just coffee and muffins. The only thing we didn't really like were the beds, not really our kind of mattresses (Tempur style). Also pillows very hard so taking your own may be a good idea.

The staff were very helpful. They gave us the "scoop" on some amazing restaurants and coffee shops. The room was affordable, comfortable, and had an amazing view!
