It was okay. The room was nothing special and the person checking us in was not at all friendly.

Typical old-style motel with drive-up parking and lines of rooms. Clean but very dated. Disappointed in that the room right next to ours was rented, despite the fact that there were numerous other rooms available. We had to listen to late-night and early morning TV through the thin walls. Why weren't the other people placed in other rooms away from ours?

Good stay.
We just stayed for a night to visit the state park. It was a good place to rest for the day. The room looked old, but clean. Breakfast a something I had some continental expectations , it was just a grab and go.

Roadside Motel in the fRoadside Motel Finger Lakes
It was your basic roadside motel. It was clean. I thought the price was a little high. Overall, good enough just to spend one night.

Nice motel
Rhe room was very comfortable and with some recent updates. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The weather was such that we used the heat and the air conditioning during our stay and was very hard to keep the room comfortable. We could here people walking upstairs most of the night. The bed was very firm. We would stay there again and bring our own box fan for noise and air flow. But definitely would stay there again.

Older motel but clean and convenient and a good value. No bells or whistles but comfortable -- refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot available.

Stay was good, but they should not say that they have continental breakfast. It looked like there was coffee and maybe a pastry or something in the lobby, but it was all gone when I came to get some and there was no place to sit to eat it.

Been going for years while @ WGI. Beds are comfortable & water pressure & staff are great.. As long as you go with the understanding it's a motel and not a hotel, you'll keep going back..

It was just what we needed: a safe and clean place to stay. And, It was comfortable. It is also a short drive to Watkins Glen - literally minutes. The view from the window overlooks beautiful autumn leaves.
The staff was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. They also cleaned our room every day which is something many hotels aren’t offering anymore.
The breakfast consists of fresh apples and bananas, pre-packaged pastries, juices and coffee.
If you don’t need fancy, this is a great place to stay.
It’s down the street from Sha-qua-ga Falls!

This has been my go to hotel at Watkins Glen for years. It’s far from luxurious but it’s clean and the staff is wonderful.

Falls Motel was clean and the service very good. The employees were attentive to answering questions and at the office all the time. We found restaurants within a 10 minute drive as well as Watkins Glen State Park.

Worth trying
Great water pressure and jet tin works well. Nice size King room, clean sheets but pillow cases need to be replaced. Door lock needs replace/update and add flip lock inside for more security.
