    Overall a good stay. Clean room and bathroom and easy self check-in (once I figured out how to access my Booking.com app messages!)

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Loved the vibe!! Totally updated and modern. Great place great location! Could have used more amenities, utensils, maybe some cleaning supplies

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The room was musty, even after running the “dry” mode on the HVAC unit.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Property was in close proximity to the village, easy to get to.

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    The unit was clean, the parking was spacious. Bathroom supplies were provided, plenty of blankets. Good if you want quiet at night and spending most of the time out and about. Additional seating or eating area inside would have been nice. Unit sleeps 4 but only a 3 person couch inside and 2 chairs outside.

    Very comfortable modern motel within walking distance of downtown Skaneateles and the lake. It’s a short and picturesque drive to Syracuse

  • Engine customer Dec 2024

    Absolutely adorable! Everything was clean. We were in town for a hockey tournament, and it was the perfect location. Great little place, especially if you wanted a weekend getaway. 1st of all, it's all self check in and check out. You're given a code for the door. It's our 1st time staying at a place like this. It's not that I didn't like it. it's just not our usual. We had a couple of things that went wrong while we were there. The TV wouldn't work, and at one point, the door lock locked us out(it was super cold that night). Both issues were resolved quickly, just inconvenient.

    We had absolutely everything that we needed for a great sisters weekend. The location was perfect, walkable to the Village but far enough away so as to be quiet.

  • Engine customer Oct 2024

    The unit was very clean and welcoming. The owners maintained prompt communication prior to arriving and after. The location was excellent. Ant think of anything

  • Engine customer Aug 2024

    The studio was very clean with nice decor. Close to downtown. Overall we were happy with the room. I agree with others in the fact it was hard to use booking.com to see which room was the studio. We also thought there would be a mini fridge in the space. Blinds are decorative but with porch lights on it is very bright in the room at night. I suggest new pillows if you can.

  • Engine customer Aug 2024

    So many prior guests have remarked about the shades being too sheer and yet nothing has been changed. Well it’s true. You’ll feel exposed at night and be awakened early.

  • Engine customer Aug 2024

    The property was peaceful, clean and stocked with everything one could need. We loved being able to walk into two .

  • Engine customer Aug 2024

    The location was reasonably convenient. There were several issues. There was no "icebox" or way to keep food and drink cold. The picture shown when we signed up suggested a sense of amenities that was not present in the room. The blinds did not provide much coverage or sense of privacy. The response time to two of our three questions was way outside your one hour you cited. My wife did receive several bug bites from critters in the rug next to the bed. It was our first experience in such a "room" and with Booking.Com. The experience was underwhelming and the cost per night was very high for what little we received.

  • Engine customer Jul 2024

    Very tastefully decorated and very clean! Short walk to village. At night the blinds were a bit see through the light was shining through blind from outside would have appreciated blackout blinds.

  • Engine customer Jul 2024

    The place was so comfortable and well outfitted. Our host was gracious and helpful. Loved the bed! N/a

  • Engine customer Jul 2024

    The inside of the unit was lovely. The outside was bare bones. A shared fire pit and perhaps a flower or two. Some decent chairs to sit in and have a glass of wine would have been nice. These are some suggestions. Again the inside of the unit is tastefully decorated and well stocked with every need. Thank you.

    This is a recently renovated and very nicely appointed one bedroom with sitting room and kitchen. Everything was modern and clean with good AC and roku television. It was perfect for our weekend stay for a graduation. We had everything we needed to make breakfast and lunch in the room. Good shower and products as well. Also close to the downtown area. Keyless entry, no fuss. Manager was helpful when we forgot the code. Nothing. This is a good alternative choice for when you want a kitchen and separate sitting area from bedroom.

  • Engine customer Jun 2024

    Super clean and comfortable No complaints

  • Engine customer Jun 2024

    Very clean and updated. Nice decor. Nothing major. A long walk to town.

  • Engine customer May 2024

    I never got a code to get into the place I had to call the property manager ?
