Vintage GP WE Stay
We spent WE enjoying the SVRA Vintage GP WE @ the track and at the downtown GP Festival. The Falls Motel was located “smack dab” between both of these POIs. The room w/ two Queen size beds was perfect. Free ice & a Continental breakfast was the icing on the cake.

Good location if you go to state park. Room was clean but tired looking. My room had very strong smell of mold and the smell didn’t go away. TV didn’t work. Breakfast was pretty minimal - packaged pantries, coffee, some fresh fruit, bottled juice.

Decent roadside motel. Nothing special - friendly and responsive owners and clean room. Price was a bit high - but compared to the more expensive places a bit closer to downtown Watkins Glen it was reasonable.

Located in a very quiet area, this place is great. We had a king-sized bed and a super clean room. A beautiful waterfall is located just down the street, as well as the small historical district. Super friendly staff. You can grab pre-packaged breakfast and fruit, along with coffee. You can park right next to your room, which is super convenient. Great place!

Good could be better scenery great.
It was great. I just had to get a refund for my extra day that I didn’t need at the end of the trip. They could really benefit from new showerheads. They have some really great ones at TJ Maxx with a bead filter $14 each would make a huge difference During the shower time. Breakfast could benefit with a cooler full of yogurt, milk, and creamer.
