Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel

I’m live under an hour away from Harbor Hotel and enjoy staying there when big events are happening in town. The rooms are clean, and the beds are so comfortable. I never bring my own shampoo/conditioner because they have the good hair products complimentary. The bar is always a fun place for happy hour and the restaurant has great food!

The hotel is beautiful and a perfect location for an event such as a wedding. The manager seeks to please in every respect. She is accessible and understanding. Any "issues" that arise will be addressed. I am looking forward to spending many more nights here in my travels! The once lost art of "customer service" has returned and it is right here at Harbor Hotel!

We went there for the Wine Festival. The concierge desk had no information about the event! Said no taxis but offered no additional information for transportation. No instructions about how to get in and out of Watkins Glen. We ate dinner at the restaurant, thinnest piece of Salmon for $40.00! No water in the room. The hot water took a long time and faucet was difficult to adjust.

We celebrated our 40th anniversary in the Commodore’s suite. The hotel made our day special with an unexpected upgrade, sparkling wine and dessert! We were blown away by their generosity. The suite is gorgeous and super clean with a gorgeous balcony overlooking Seneca Lake. Everything was perfect including food. We highly recommend this hotel. Such class.

We visited as 2 families and stayed in the Harbor West home, part of the resort. It had an Airbnb feel to it, with 3 bedrooms + 2 full baths + 2 living rooms, and a large eat-in kitchen. The home was spacious, clean and comfortable. We had privilege to all the hotel amenities. The location of the hotel is superb! Walking distance to a Liquor store, cocktail bar, brewery/winery, plenty of yummy high rated restaurants, shopping, and the Watkins Glen state park nearby too! It was perfect and we would stay here again!!

It was overall a nice hotel, however, I am unsure why it is so expensive. There is noting included. There is a restaurant and bar on site however it is three times more than a restaurant it town, which everything is within walking distance. The only thing that was really included was a turn down service at night and they provided chocolates. I guess this was the extra two hundred dollars. I have been to Marriott and Sandals. This was nothing like a Sandals and it was comparable to a Marriott. The price per night should not be in the four hundred range it should be in the two hundred range like a Marriott. Hot tub and pool were not available for our schedule. We would have gone in the evening but it closed earlier than our schedule allowed. The toilet didn't flush right all the time and the pillows were way to thin. It was very clean and had beautiful views but it was way over priced.
