Where to stay at Watkins Glen

[sdcham1]

Just looking to make a booking and not sure where to stay, I would like to find something not so B&B. I'd like something with a bar or pub attached and ideas?

[BonraS]

Get a room at the Seneca Lodge. Nice rooms and a Bar!

+1 on Seneca. Lots of history and not so much peeling wall paper as years ago. Your going to need that bar if your new motor is any indication!

Or camp at the track and drive to the Seneca for the bar in the tow vehicle of course

Or do both: stay in one of their "quaint" cabins, its almost like sleeping outdoors on the ground! +1 on the bar and lodge.

A step up from the Seneca Lodge is the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel. I stayed there when I ran with the Audi Club in July. I think its a new hotel, less than 5 years old, or so? Very nice rooms, decent rates. Its in the center of town, right on the lake. Its just a bit further from the track than the Seneca Lodge.

Liz and I really enjoy the Falls Motel. The bar has a 30-foot waterfall in it. Really.

Room rates are reasonable, bar and wine list is excellent, food is very good, the owner is a racer.

Has anyone stayed @ the Watkins Glen Villager Motel & Glen Manor?

Their rates seem very reasonable and they have a car club special that give the 2nd night @ half price.

I've stayed at the Villager a bunch of times. If you get the "hotel" rooms near the pool, they are not that bad. A little expensive for what you get, though. The motel rooms are pretty nasty, but it has been many years since I have seen the inside of them. So maybe they are fixed up by now!

Liz and I stayed at the Clipper on Monday and Tuesday, just about across from the Dunkin. It was good - warm shower, working A/C and heat to dry wet suits, clean, $89.

It was the filthiest, vilest place I have ever paid to stay in (my military experiences were for free! )

I try to stay at the Seneca Clipper every time I'm in town. They've got parking for a tow vehicle with trailer near the street and it's across the road from homemade ice cream. Free intarweb too.

That will ruin the power to weight ratio though

Not that I haven't already, for anyone who knows me.
