Stayed one night in the Inn section. Rooms are very small, but comfortable enough. The decor is, well, Colonial, charming in a way. Bathroom appears to have been updated, but far from luxury. Shower drain didn't function at all. The price seemed quite high for what you are getting (perhaps because this was an unbooked visit). Wifi is weak in... More

We were looking for a great little place - and we found it!! This is an older (huger) home that's been broken up into an inn, with a motel added out back. The owner is a fantastic guy who also runs the pottery and creamery business located out front. He allows self-check-in, and we were the only people in the... More

I was on my way home from a conference in Buffalo and wanted to check out the state park there, so I stopped for a night. Good location - very close to Gorges Park and withing walking distance of an excellent brew pub with a killer brown ale. I will be going back in June once the Gorges trail has... More

I stayed in Room 2 at the Colonial Inn & Motel this past weekend with my girlfriends for a Wine Tour Weekend. The staff was so accommodating & friendly, I highly recommend it for anyone staying at Watkins Glen and/or visiting the Finger Lakes. Location is great for visiting restaurants, shopping & bar hopping. It's within a short walking distance... More

This place is SO close to the Watkins Glen State Park. Since Watkins Glen is quite a small town, all bars and restaurants are really close, as well. Rooms are nice, clean and the landlords are really nice people, too. They own this little shop where you can buy pottery, soap, chocolates and ice cream. A beehive can be found... More

Two female friends in our 50's booked a last minute trip to Watkins Glen. We were looking for a place in the town and had looked into Bed and Breakfasts but couldn't find anything available with two beds. We booked room 9 at the Colonial Inn which is upstairs in the Inn part, one room overlooking the main road and... More

Stayed here on the spur of the moment. It was nice and clean, friendly owner and convenient to the center of town. Plus there's an ice cream palor in front, though we got back from dinner too late to enjoy any. A little pricey for what we got but nicer than many other places I've stayed.

We stayed at the Colonial Inn for our first trip to Watkins Glen. The accommodations are pretty basic but the room was kept very clean. The location was great. We walked the Gorge Trail at the State Park every morning. (This is a must see if you come to the area.) The Inn is also close to many restaurants and... More

We come up to the Watkins Glen area at the end of April every year to attend a party at Bagley's Winery. We always try to stay in the Watkins Glen area because it has the closest lodging and eating places. This year we stayed at the Colonial Inn & Motel, in one of the rooms in the motel section....
