We travel to Watkins Glen area for the weekend. We stayed in the motel room. The room was very basic, 2 double beds, TV and bathroom. No amenities were in the room. I have to say though it was clean. Didn't see any bugs, like other reviews mentioned. Yes it was outdated, but that is what made it nostalgic. We... More

We travel every Thanksgiving to Watkins Glen to enjoy the beautiful scenery and explore the surrounding areas. We've stayed at the Seneca Lodge each time and found the rooms barely acceptable and very outdated. This past year we were told the only available room was a cabin, we thought, gosh, that sounds very homey and should be fun. What a... More

The hotel and property are right out of the 1960s. Or is it the 1950s? No online reservations, no electronic swip cards. However, it is VERY convenient to Watkins Glen race track. $90/room on Memorial Day weekend and no amenities. I think the price was a bit high but I was willing to accept it for the convenience to WGI.... More

My husband and I traveled to Watkins Glen for a weekend of club racing at the track for the second time in the last 8 months, and both times we stayed at the Seneca Lodge because the location is so convenient. The rooms are VERY basic - bed, bathroom, TV, and they could definitely be cleaner! Overall our stay was... More

We have stayed at the Lodge for 3 years during Grapehounds, the Greyhound wine tasting event the end of July on Seneca Lake. Initially, we were concerned about the very "rustic" description, but gave it a try because of convenience, and friends who were staying there. And I have to say, we love it! Granted, we are not fancy hotel... More

1st off, the price was better than anyone else in the area. 2nd is the location. Its just up the hill (2 minutes) from the main street in town, so no road traffic all night. 3rd its across the street from the state park you can walk in and avoid the park fee. Entrance to the Gorge isn't far from... More

We hadn't been to the Lodge in 13 years, but we knew we would still love it. You cannot beat the value and location of this gem. Still feels very family run. The food and service in the restaurant is friendly and satisfying. The selections met all of my diverse family needs. Plus, we could bring our dog along for... More

Ok let's be honest it's a very rustic bare bones lodge, rooms are musty and old, enough allergens to choke a horse but I go back year after year. This is a good place for a guys base on a motorcycle trip as the roads around are some of the best in North America. Don't expect to be pampered but... More
