The property was beautiful. We loved the chalet that we stayed in, super comfy bed, beautiful views, no matter which one you stay in. Staff was very kind, helping us park our trailer, and being accommodating. Would highly recommend this little secret in Watkins Glen.

The room and bathroom were huge, clean and nicely decorated. It was nice having dedicated parking too. We didn’t realize that since it was end of their season, many spots were closed or only open certain days. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay at the Benjamin!

Very clean, modern hotel. Breakfast is so good, with many fresh baked pastries and breakfast pizza. There is also a brewery right next door, so that is a bonus! Highly recommend.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Laurel for the weekend as it was our anniversary. We enjoy visiting the area and wineries at least once a year. The view from our room was absolutely beautiful. We had a complete view of Seneca lake and liked how close we were to downtown Watkins Glen.

Definitely lived up to its "fabulous" rating! Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The room was very nice and clean. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. The options for the continental breakfast were many and even nicer was that everything was individually wrapped (but fresh, NOT pre-packaged and sealed with no expiration date!) and pancake machine was touchless. A little further off the interstate than we anticipated but worth the drive. Would stay again

First of all, the owner/operator Jim proactively called us to confirm our arrival time and couldn't have been more pleasant. When we arrived, he upgraded us to the best room in the lodge which was an absolutely gorgeous, beautifully appointed studio apartment sized suite that was just as clean and comfortable as could be. It had a spectacular view of Seneca Lake as well. We missed breakfast that next morning, but the giant sized common kitchen/dining/parlor area remained accessible with fresh...

The room was clean and comfortable. I love that they use Dove brand products for their toiletries! The pool was a comfortable temperature, and the breakfast was just right. The people at the front desk (both night shift and morning shift) were pleasant, kind, and helpful. The one weird thing was that there was no phone in the room to call the front desk, but that wasn't a big deal.

This is place is pretty new. The rooms are beautiful. The staff was very helpful and the wifi internet worked well. They include breakfast in the morning and it's a very nice meal. A lot of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, fresh cheese omlets and even a waffle maker.
For the price it can't be beat and compares well with many more expensive.
There is a Texas Roadhouse restaurant right next door!

Michelle the innkeeper took good care of us when we visited the area. Great breakfasts! Nice location near the wineries, waterfalls and to visit Cornell University.

Our hosts, Charlie and Rebecca, were very gracious and gave us pointers for dinner locations. The room was very cosy and the breakfast scrumptious. Their coffee brand is worth trying even if you are not a coffee drinker
