    I wish there was a way to cast streaming services to the TV. Lots of cable channels but no way to watch streaming stuff.

    Overall communication and services were great.

    Heating could be improved, for example with automatic temperature regulation and a way to heat a little bit in the bathroom. The bathroom could have more shelves/space to place some products on.

    Practical of access, close to the state park

    The tv didn't work until the front desk person came. He couldn't get it to work either, but he called another gentleman to come fix it and the issue did get resolved.

    The location was perfect for visiting Watkins Glen State Park, and the room was clean. The front desk was responsive to our needs when the tv wouldn't work.

    The toilets were so short. Felt like using a child’s toilet . The only other real issue was that the coffee was too weak for me 😢

    I didn't think the mattress was very comfortable, but that might just be personal preference. My spouse thought it was fine.

    Very good value for the price. Owners were very friendly. Good location but a little further from some parts of town if you're walking. Also, there is an ice cream place right next door!
