Close proximity to nearby restaurants, bars and breweries. Walking distance to Watkins Glen State Park. Room was clean. Property needs a little sprucing up, however I would return

Kimberly, 1-night trip

It was very quiet and they made the process for check in and check out seemless. The ice cream onsite was great. Parking was easy and the instructions they provided were very clear about the whole check in process.

This is an older property. However it’s clean, bright and close to restaurants and shopping downtown. Also you receive a free ice cream daily when you stay here. It’s delicious! Definitely would stay here again.

We enjoyed the Creamery. The antique dressers were restored very nicely. Beds were comfortable and the 2 bedrooms were perfect for us. The carpets were well worn. The staff was all very friendly, polite and very helpful especially the new manager. The pizza from the hut next door was spectacular.

Right in the downtown area. First floor of inn was noisy. Parking lot light shined thru window. Room was good but could use some updating and maintenance

It's located right in the heart of the cute downtown and has both an adorable ice cream shop and wood oven pizza truck out front. The renovated rooms are tastefully appointed and clean as a whistle.

Colonial Inn and Creamery is in a nice central location. The room was clean and equipped with small refrigerator, microwave and toiletries. Check-in was contactless with a door code. Ice cream at the creamery was excellent.

Easiest check-in ever (as long as you followed the emailed instructions), and AMAZING location! Rooms are nicely updated very clean, too! Easy walk to Watkins Glen!

Old not well kept.
Lauren, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

It was a very good experience. We got free ice cream for staying there which I think is like amazing other than that the room was nice very small very intimate, which is not bad at all. I would just say that they need a new AC and there wasn’t a mini fridge inside, so bringing food back was kind of hard to store other than that. It was a great stay walkable to the park walkable to shops. It was very nice.
frances, 3-night trip

The bed wasn't firm at all and the overall condition of the room was poor.
