    Loved the vibe!! Totally updated and modern. Great place great location! Could have used more amenities, utensils, maybe some cleaning supplies

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The room was musty, even after running the “dry” mode on the HVAC unit.

    Very cute, restored motel. Comfortable and super close to the village of Skaneateles. I would definitely stay again.

    Super cute place. Would highly recommend

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Convenient to town, ie walkable, but not in the hectic hub. It was quiet and relaxing. The last night we enjoyed a yummy pizza from Mike’s just down the road. We could dine outside on an amazingly beautiful night, with our private table and chairs. 😊

    Property was in close proximity to the village, easy to get to.

    Clean and modern. Great location

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Additional seating or eating area inside would have been nice. Unit sleeps 4 but only a 3 person couch inside and 2 chairs outside.

    Very comfortable modern motel within walking distance of downtown Skaneateles and the lake. It’s a short and picturesque drive to Syracuse

  • Engine customer May 2025

    We had a wonderful stay here! A perfect size stay for 3 friends getting away for a day at the spa and a day shopping and eating around town. The sidewalk picks up right before the accommodation so it's a really nice walk to the center of town! Easy check-in and had everything we needed.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    It was easy and convenient to the area, very clean, private and accessible. Would stay again if return to the area

  • Engine customer Dec 2024

    Absolutely adorable! Everything was clean. We were in town for a hockey tournament, and it was the perfect location. Great little place, especially if you wanted a weekend getaway. 1st of all, it's all self check in and check out. You're given a code for the door. It's our 1st time staying at a place like this. It's not that I didn't like it. it's just not our usual. We had a couple of things that went wrong while we were there. The TV wouldn't work, and at one point, the door lock locked us out(it was super cold that night). Both issues were resolved quickly, just inconvenient.

    This is a very nice inn.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    We had absolutely everything that we needed for a great sisters weekend. The location was perfect, walkable to the Village but far enough away so as to be quiet.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    Ant think of anything

  • Engine customer Aug 2024

    This is a completely new remodel, set back from Rt. 20 behind a house. The "kitchenette" is more expansive than most in suites of this type, occupying the back wall of the "living room," which features a comfy sofa opposite an enormous flat-screen TV. A little tricky to find, as there was no sign out front--but they have now remedied that! There are only 6 units, which makes it nice. The only real downside was the price. Hotels.com gigged me $336 for one night. Had a very pleasant chat with the owner, who suggested _calling them directly_ for substantial savings.

  • Engine customer Aug 2024

    The interior design is great. The unit had an over powering smell that I had to buy Febreze to overcome. And the shower drain had hair in it when we arrived! So many prior guests have remarked about the shades being too sheer and yet nothing has been changed. Well it’s true. You’ll feel exposed at night and be awakened early.

    The studio was very clean with nice decor. Close to downtown. Overall we were happy with the room. I agree with others in the fact it was hard to use booking.com to see which room was the studio. We also thought there would be a mini fridge in the space. Blinds are decorative but with porch lights on it is very bright in the room at night. I suggest new pillows if you can.
