Great location! We loved how close everything was - plenty of restaurants, a supermarket, and a nice park all within easy walking distance. Free parking right behind the hotel on weekends was a bonus. Watkins Glen State Park is only about a half-hour drive away, too. The room itself was very clean, which we really appreciated.

Loved this place! That said, the "entry" is through the back of the building parking lot, up what appears to be an old fire escape, passing by the restaurant vent fan, on the way up to the second floor. All i kept thinking was, Im in deep trouble now (wife cursing and swearing under her breath). The unmarked door opens to a civilized hallway and closes securely behind you. The room, which is more like a suite, is wonderful! It has a separate bedroom and living room, with a fireplace. The view of Gaffer St. street below is excellent! Very cool art on the walls. Thank goodness the room was as nice as it was, because that entry looked a little sketchy. For the type of old building this is, having a "hotel" above the restaurant, the entry makes complete sense. While the building wasnt designed for this, its a great suite at a great price.

Nice studio room

This property was a nice, clean, comfortable place to stay. It had a lot of room to spread out and almost seemed like a studio apartment rather than a hotel room. It was on top of a restaurant called Burgers and Beer. I didn’t feel the same sense of cleanliness there, but the food was good. Next time, I would skip the restaurant.

Very unique find for a great value. You wouldn’t expect to find this quality of a room in this location. Plus, it’s so convenient to shopping and food, especially NY style pizza. What a treasure!

Love love love! Nice and quiet place!

Super easy check in, once you’re checked in tho- make note of your confirmation number so you can log back in to check out! It took me about 10 mins to figure that part out… but it’s very very nice! 10/10 would recommend! Loved walking distance to everything and I’m even a local! We stayed for cabin fever!!

Stayed for Valentine’s Day and it was perfect, the room was great with Great city views. The bathroom was very nice. Everything within walking distance (shopping, coffee place across the street, dinner). We had Dinner at three birds which was a 7 min walk from the room and it was absolutely amazing. Defintley plan to visit and stay again. A great experience overall!
