They installed a very large deck with chairs and fire pits (instead of replacing the pool that needed a large investment)to watch the view of the lake and sunset.

The room was clean and comfortable, comfortable beds, balcony with view of the lake was awesome! The only negative was the bathroom, particularly the shower. The design of the shower made it impossible to adjust the water without being under it, and the half glass door made it impossible to avoid getting water on the bathroom floor.

GM was very accommodating. Restaurant staff was wonderful. Restaurant could be open later. Shower design was odd (only 1/2 panel) leading to wet floor. Bathroom was small. Deck with firepits was awesome.

Liked: Amenities
The Hotel Laurel on Seneca lake was an absolute treat! We were in town for the annual Classic Grand Prix weekend, so the location of The Hotel Laurel was ideal. The RECEPTIONIST at check in was so pleasant, and had all necessary paperwork printed out and ready for us. She provided a map of the hotel grounds, as there are several buildings containing rooms, all with lake views. She also provided a list of breakfast restaurants in the area, since their restaurant/grill is not open for breakfast. The refurbished ROOM was clean, nicely decorated and we scored a room with a private balcony, (all the rooms have lake view balconies, but not all have privacy barriers). The shower was nicely powerful, the sink water drinkable (not the case with the other Watkin’s Glen hotels we’ve stayed at over the years). The room has a fridge and micro, large counter, table and seating, large tv, nicely firm mattress, A/C and plenty of pillows, plus an extra. The RESTAURANT was a delight. Full bar and a custom mixed drinks menu to start. The grill menu has interesting apps and entrees, the food was great - menu is online. TYLER was our server and he was attentive, friendly and careful to ascertain our desired speed of enjoying our cocktails and meal. He did not rush us through cocktails, apps or the meal at all, yet didn’t keep us waiting for the check when we were done. We will happily be staying and dining at The Hotel Laurel during all of our Watkin’s Glen events from now on!

The sheets weren't cleaned properly. There was what looked like a small blood stain on the comforter. We didn't use it. Luckily it wasn't cold.

We loved the view and the community deck. The rooms are supposedly upgraded. They need more. A person can’t even sit on the toilet comfortably as it is right up against the wall and the seat is falling off. When we asked after 2 days to have our room made up, they didn’t change the sheets. The ice machine and garbage are a hike up a steep hill as is the restaurant. Not worth the price. The restaurant was okay & nice to have there but limited hours.

We really enjoyed the view of the lake from the balcony. The parking was nice as you could park right in front of your door to unload everything. This was convenient since we were on the second level with a balcony. No stairs came into play.

The building with the rooms sits below the road, making it quiet and providing a lovely view of the lake from your window and balcony. The carpet, furniture, mattresses and furniture are all brand new and the beds were very comfortable. Large TV, lots of drawer storage, and a larger mini-fridge. Although the bathroom was small, the new fixtures were high quality. The restaurant is new also so it has a limited menu and days open, but the view is great and the food, drinks, and service were excellent. We stayed 3 nights in Mid-August and enjoyed our stay.

This property has the loveliest views of Lake Seneca. Siting on our private balcony, my husband and I enjoyed quiet reflections, bird watching, and luckily for us, a double rainbow! A beautiful moment and a beautiful setting.

The view is fantastic.The restaurant was good. Rooms clean and updated. Good location just out of town. Very disappointed the new ownership did not keep the racing theme with photographs and history of the racing drivers who enjoyed staying there in the 1960's.
