We arrived without a reservation late at night on a Memorial Day wknd, after finding no vacancy anywhere else. Got lucky as this place had a cancellation. Room was a suite with a fully equipped kitchenette, big renovated bathroom and a separate bedroom. Everything was great! The owner was super nice and helped us out the next morning with a... More

A step back in time, This place is charming in its own way..outdated in most every way, but clean and quiet. An old fasioned lake motel that is fine if you aren't real fussy. you get a bare bones bathroom with shower stall , but it is clean. On a hill, with steps to manage... Needs updated with fresh furniture... More

What a great place, charming clean rooms, wonderful and helpful owners, and a great price.

When we entered our room I saw that we didn't have a full living area but one upholstered chair and a straight back chair. There was a charming small kitchen with an apartment sized stove and oven...

I was visiting an elderly family friend in Penn Yan and since I did not want to make work for her I looked for a place to stay nearby. After reading the reviews I called Colonial Motel and was offered a great rate for the week I needed. Upon arrival I was greeted by the couple who own and run... More
