The Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel consistently receives positive feedback for its beautiful views, pleasant atmosphere, and friendly staff. Guests appreciate the convenient location and comfortable rooms, particularly those with balconies. However, some issues with elevator functionality and potentially high prices have been raised.
We stayed there over the weekend. The hotel is very nice and the proximity is amazing! That’s why we booked with them. Walking distance to the little town which has restaurants and ice cream. The hotel has a restaurant and bar too. We only had breakfast there but it was good. The view from our balcony was absolutely beautiful! We were on the top floor and could see for miles. Love the cleanliness and decor of the room, as well as the shower. The bed was way too firm in my opinion. Also, be careful of some nights being more expensive. That was a bit of a surprise as I checked out. I was told the second night (a Saturday), had a higher rate. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
My hubby booked a room with a lake view. Very pleased with the room. Very nice room, nicely painted with warm colors. Room was very clean, spacious, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We had a quiet and restful night....Location was perfect. Hotel is close to restaurants and shops, within walking distance. Staff was friendly and curtious. Would definitely recommend it!
This hotel room was very comfortable....a plush bed and comforter/sheet set, super clean and manicured - slept great. The climate control worked very well. The location is close enough to walk downtown or as a starting point for the wine trail. We loved the balcony on the 3rd floor overlooking the harbor and lake. There are adirondack chairs with gas firepits on the patio....staff was exceptional and the coffee bars each morning were appreciated. The in--house restuarant was very good and we enjoyed chatting with our server Damon. Parking was ample and close. But at the price I paid ($475/nt+tax), the broken elevator (there are 2 of them) needs to be fixed (still can't find the stairs) to avoid the long lines, please stop moving the patio furniture at 6:30am....it's so loud, and there's no fan in the bathroom.
The room was nice, clean, and spacious, and overall super comfy. But if you have a chance, try to snag a harbor view—the village view isn’t quite worth the money spent in this hotel. The facilities were great, especially the fire pits that looked tempting in the evenings (but we could not find a free spot on a Friday night). On the negative side, one of the elevators was out of commission, which led to some pretty long waits. Considering the high price tag, it would be great if they could get that fixed. Also, it was a bit frustrating that housekeeping kept knowing on the door before well before the check-out time. If anything, it delayed us (still well before official checkout) and was annoying and made us feel guilty for no reason.
We stayed with 4 other couples to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The staff's hospitality stands out. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of places to relax. The view is amazing. Additionally it's conveniently located to great restaurants, the park, and the wine trail ??
Everything from check-in to check-out was perfect! The staff were incredibly sweet and friendly. The rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The hotel also has gorgeous views—we especially loved the backyard patio with the fire pits. A special thank you to Mckayla, Titus, Don, and the rest of the team (we wish we remembered everyone’s names!). You all helped make our vacation truly memorable.
We recently took a trip to the Finger Lakes to celebrate my wife’s birthday, with plans to explore the waterfalls and visit some of the local wineries. We chose to stay at the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel, and it truly elevated our entire experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The level of hospitality stood out right away, and it was clear that guest experience is a top priority here. We also dined at the hotel and were very impressed with the quality of the food—it exceeded our expectations. There was a small hiccup with dinner one evening, but what really stood out was how the hotel handled it. After I mentioned it, the manager, Andrea, personally reached out to me. That level of care and follow-up speaks volumes. During our conversation, it was evident that the team genuinely strives for excellence and takes pride in delivering exceptional service. Overall, this was a fantastic stay, and the hotel played a big part in making my wife’s birthday trip so memorable. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to the Finger Lakes—and we will absolutely be staying here again.
We stayed at the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel to celebrate our anniversary and booked the Romantic Package. From the moment we checked in, the experience exceeded our expectations. On the day of arrival, we were surprised with a complimentary room upgrade to a suite with a jacuzzi, which made our stay even better The hospitality from the staff was outstanding throughout our visit. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located near the lake and town. We are extremely appreciative of the upgrade and the excellent service, and we would absolutely recommend this hotel for anyone celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a relaxing getaway. We look forward to returning in the future.
We went here for their Thanksgiving buffet. Their property, food, service and dining experience were fantastic! Many foods to choose from... too numerous to mention... roast turkey, beef sirloin and salmon to name a few. The salmon with rice and the turkey were outstanding! The side hot items were also great. Their fruit, cheese, salad and dessert bars were also outstanding. Food never ran low... their service was great... the whole dining experience ran meticulosly... from the moment we checked in to the time we left. All their staff were kind and professional... wow! Wine was great and live flowers on all the tables... very elegant touch. The property inside and out is maintained very well! Highly recommended!
We were blessed to join in the celebration of our friend's wedding. Sadly it was rained out put the stsff quickly put together an inside space beautifully accommodating... The space was beautiful and relaxing. The staff also accommodated my 3-year-old granddaughter by making her a very special chicken nugget and french fry meal while others enjoyed the wedding feast. It was very kind and thoughtful. The whole experience was wonderful and the wedding was beautiful. I thought the staff to be extremely attentive in the background to what was going on.
