Been going for years while @ WGI. Beds are comfortable & water pressure & staff are great.. As long as you go with the understanding it's a motel and not a hotel, you'll keep going back..

Don’t stay especially with children
Where do I start. This place was dirty all over. starting with the black bath tub, dead bugs in the walls, smelled like wet, mold room. Coming in and out of room had to get down because all the spiders were covering the ceiling, walls and door. Dust all over the room. It triggered my son’s allergies so bad we had to leave that morning.

I booked a king bed and they did a bait and switch and made me take two queen beds. Price was adjusted. Annoying though.

The room smelled as musky & damp with bath towel washed too many times as the end of its use. Staff is not friendly as he is being bothered when we checked in.

This hotel is outside of town of Watkins Glen. With a car it is not an issue. It is not walkable nearby. The breakfast is too primitive, there is no choice. Staffs are generally friendly.

Falls Motel was clean and the service very good. The employees were attentive to answering questions and at the office all the time. We found restaurants within a 10 minute drive as well as Watkins Glen State Park.

Not what we were expecting based on reviews. Very dirty. Bugs all over. Bad smell in room. Breakfast was very weak. Coffee like water. Staff is new and trying. Facility needs an overhaul.

The coffee maker was very old and difficult to use and we had to ask for days before we received it. All in all though we enjoyed our stay.

Hope they improve the cleaning service…
Plus: Nice size room, comfortable layout and appealing look, even had a kitchenette stocked with wine glasses, plates, and silverware. Bed was comfortable, and there were a nice fireplace and jacuzzi tub in our room. Minus: When we arrived, there was someone’s hair on the edge of the bathtub and in the shower, and a previous guest’s popsicles were half-melted in the mini fridge, so we were really disappointed with the cleanliness. Also, the A/C unit was in the window, draped with the window curtain, and some bugs were getting in.

Price and locations were great. Room was half clean, found old pill, pair of socks, bottle cap and spiders in bathroom. Overall it was not terrible but definitely not pristine. I understand I did not stay at a 5 star hotel so you get what you get!

While the room size was ok, the lighting was too dim, the towels/washcloths were very thin, and the breakfast consisted of prepackaged muffins or danish, apples/bananas, and coffee.
