My wife and I take a 3-day vacation in Watkins Glen, visiting Watkins Glen State Park and Buttermilk Falls Park. I find the motel online. Both my wife and I are very satisfied with the cleanness and room-air quality of Gorgeous View Motel. Mike, the person in charge, receives us in a very warm way, making us feel at home. The parking is so easy just a few steps from our room. I recommend the motel with no reservation. I wish Gorgeous View Motel always success.

The room was very clean. The bed was made before we got back to our room. The bathroom was clean. Be careful in the parking lot, you may roll into the lake. Basically, it’s all in the name!

Just a simple roadside motel. Right across the street from Seneca Lake, all of the rooms have a beautiful view. The name “gorgeous view motel” fits. The people that ran, the hotel were absolutely friendly and helpful, the room was simple, but clean, the bed was comfortable, it had a microwave, a fridge and a coffee pot, and the Wi-Fi was fast enough to stream video. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you.

Nice budget basic hotel 10 minutes from the State Park and downtown. Great views of the lake from every room. My only complaint was the lack of an ice machine.
