We had a short, comfortable stay. The staff member was very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, the bed was very comfortable and firm, and the location was quiet. The Anchor Inn provided an inexpensive alternative to staying in the Watkins Glen area, and was only a couple minutes from downtown. We'd definitely stay here again.

I found the hotel at the last minute after "checking in and then out" at a previous location-see review :( Friendly staff, great location and gorgeous sunrise view from my balcony. Will definitely be back!
This was literally the first thing I saw when I opened my curtain to look outside.

The view of the lake from the room was outstanding.It was so pleasant to sit on the balcony and enjoy our morning coffee. We were in Watkins Glen for Captain Bobs Dinner Cruise which was just a short ride away I would definitly recommend a stay at this hotel. Very basic but adequate.

Nice room. Comfortable bed. Short walk to the lake with our dog. Overall, a good stay except for another guest chain-smoking cigarettes on the deck outside our room. We, along with several other guests enjoying the view, got up and left. We had to keep our sliding door closed, it smelled so bad.

The place is ok. There is some on-going construction around the property. I would not depend on their ‘breakfast’. It includes muffins, oranges, and bananas.

Staff friendly. People outside their room on shared balcony conversing “loudly” until I called office at 10:15 pm. They continued arguing in their room until I called at 11:15 pm. No sleep. In lobby it sat quiet hours were from 9pm-7am. That should be posted in balcony and in rooms.
