Top Watkins Glen Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Ithaca

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. GREAT location downtown."

Long House Manor B And B

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful mid-winter break at Longhouse Manor B&B. Regina communicated check-in details clearly and made everything easy from the start. We stayed at the top of the hill in a king suite with an in-room jetted tub, which was a real treat. Breakfast was prepared right on time each morning by a lovely woman with beautiful white hair. The house itself is enormous and thoughtfully equipped with everything guests might need. We enjoyed watching deer grazing in the meadow while taking in the lake view, and the evenings were blissfully quiet with no road noise. With so much to see and do in town and around both sides of the lake, we will certainly be back. Thank you for a delightful stay!"
