Seneca Lodge offers a unique experience blending a racing history with lakeside accommodations. Guests consistently praise the friendly staff and the on-site tavern, which is a draw for racing enthusiasts. However, recent reviews highlight significant issues with room conditions, cleanliness, and customer service, raising concerns about value and overall quality.
My husband and I ate at the restaurant and loved it! The food and atmosphere felt like home. The staff were amazing, attentive, kind and accommodating. Highly recommend for a simple, home cooked meal!
BEWARE AND AVOID AS STAFF CAN MAKE ANY U TURN SINCE THERE IS NO EMAIL CONFIRMATION ON BOOKING .. Did my booking with Jackie at front desk for 8th check in and 9 th checkout .. confirmed rates , provided card details etc. . Post stay, I noticed was charged for 2 days and told there was a weekend minimum.. there was no mention of it on the call but there staff denied it., when I raised it from my Room Jackie simply cut the call on me (extremely rude).. I was also told the owner would call me same day but there was nothing .. they don’t provide any email of confirmation of booking ( shocking in this day and age) if I knew about it would have booked in any good branded hotel in Corning for the night instead of paying for 2 nights.. No fan or AC also in rooms I stayed in. Read less
I've stayed at the motel twice now and I mainly enjoy it for the atmosphere and proximity to the race track. But the rooms are fairly out of date. The ac and dehumidifier are very loud, and there was no mini fridge, and the room layouts are a little odd. Maybe the non-motel rooms have better amenities. It was still clean and OK for the price and the people are nice.
We stopped by here to grab some locally crafted beer. Spolier: The Peach Blonde is the best. Staff was very nice and answered all our questions. The head brewer was on site and helped up pick from the selection of 4 craft beers. Host was wonderful, made us feel very welcomed.
nothing requested there most modern cabin on the first day available to make reservations. when arriving noticed NO TV NO MICROWAVE NO MINI FRIDGE. went to there restaurant for dinner food was cold, I could stick my finger in baked potato was not even cooked enough to melt butter. took forever to get dinner at least they bought a round of drinks for issues. went to ask front desk about missing tv etc. "we are old school" "we told you no tv when you reserved" really I don't think ya did.. so what about people who come in for a weekend ohhh you can buy ice from us and bring a cooler...at least they had some sort of wifi... very old school but sure able to charge credit cards.. other cabins had appliances. very rude like dealing with a family run junk yard.
The truest and best bar in Watkins Glen. An institution. An inspiration. Nothing compares. If you can only go to one place, this is the place.
Rustic, but FUN. The bar is especially cool. Food/service is very good. Lots of history here. GO!
Great place for dinner and a get away. Saturday ribbed night is real tasty ? and they have a great salad bar.
Seneca lodge is my go to place to stay at the lake. There's many options available from motel rooms to cabins and even some larger family rentals. It's really convenient having the restaurant and bar right at the lodge too. The staff is always wonderful and the prices are fair.
We heard about this place through a racing podcast we listen to and once we researched it more about the history it has in the racing world, we knew we had to go! We did NOT eat at the restaurant or stay at the Lodge but only went for a few beers at the Tavern which is where the magic is! Our bartender was the sweetest and gave us a "tour" of the walls behind the bar and shared with us the history of the property. She also put on a movie for us (and other patrons) highlighting some footage from the 70s and the drivers/teams that would frequent the Tavern! If you are a racing fan, especially F1, you gotta stop in and take in this gem!
