I highly recommend This Inn. The refrigerator in the room was stocked with water and soda for a VERY minimal fee! So very worth it for convenience. The staff was so welcoming. The location is very close to all there is in town

Very dated motor lodge located a close driving distance to the village of Skaneateles, the only perk. The office is not regularly staffed. Stayed in room 4...room was basically clean. The bed and pillows need be replaced, bathroom was clean but tub is old, did not use. I believe faucets are well water, I used only bottled water for drinking and teeth brushing. The Inn only provides 2 bottles, others were $1 a piece, honor system. This location was all that was available for a last minute booking.

This is my 2nd time staying here, it was about the same. Overall it was nice, convenient for my purposes but very out of the way for food and entertainment. The water pressure still sucks but I guess that's what happens in more rural and country areas. I do not like the water in general; I find that it smells bad, and it smelled bad last time too. Also, if not using the shower head but rather the faucet in the tub, the water did not look clean. The staff were nice and checked to see if we needed any housekeeping or anything like that. It was also very good for the pricing; affordable and relatively comfortable.

Pictures did not portray what the property or rooms really looked like. Our key and personal paperwork were left on the counter in the office and no one was available at check in even though it was only 5:15 pm. Guest next store smoked and was very loud. Water in the faucet was extremely pungent. Overall the facility is very outdated; the grounds, the motel room and the bathroom. No staff was available to guests. However, the room was fairly clean.

An old (pre-Thruway) motel that has been refurbished. Very convenient to the attractions of Skaneateles but far enough away to be quiet.

The beds were comfortable, the towels were clean, the lighting was ok. I did not like the water pressure, it was very low for both the sink and shower. Also, at some times, the water coming out of the faucet (not showerhead but bathtub faucet) was brown. And, at one point while showering the water shut off almost entirely for a couple seconds. This is more of a personal complaint but through Expedia it claims that bottled water is free but upon arrival water bottles are $1 (which isn't bad but they don't accept card and don't give change). Overall, I would probably stay here again because it was mostly quiet (apart from a noisy neighbor) and it was close to where I actually wanted to be in NY.

This property is quite old and outdated. However, all the towels and linens were of nice quality and the bed was very comfortable. If you need a place to lay your head for the night and don’t want to spend a ton of money, this place will do.

DISGUSTING!!
I was shocked by how poor these accommodations were, especially based on the rating. I booked a room and apartment for the weekend for Syracuse graduation. The room was dirty and unkempt. The rollaway beds were a cot, one had a small mattress with a DIRTY sheet and the other, a piece of foam. Reminded me of prison. The pillow for one of the cots was dirty, and I called to get blankets (there weren’t any for the rollaways) and a new pillow. The person at the desk came with a pillowcase- and told us to cover it!! WHAT?? I had to insist they take that dirty pillow away and give us a new one. To top it off, stink bugs were invading us, flying around the room and coming in through the window, which was moldy and covered with a screen, which they clearly were able to get through with. The guy came and cleaned some up, killed one, and gave me an electric zapper racket to kill more. Smh If everything wouldn’t have been booked up, I would’ve left. I asked to change rooms, but they were full. This was definitely a major disappointment for me and my kids. The second night, I got a big air mattress and used one of the cots with the better mattress, and let my kids sleep in the room with us so they wouldn’t be invaded by the stink bugs. STAY AWAY if you wish to stay in COMFORT with your family.
