The Chieftain Inn

Wonderful hospitality, great price, close to beaches and waterfall sites. Would stay here again! Great value for dollar. -small kitchenette -spacious washroom -two bedrooms -great location -fantastic service Thank you for a wonderful weekend road trip!

Fantastic and gorgeous rooms. We originally had a room with no microwave/fridge but they graciously accommodated us by bringing one from a different room at no extra charge. An absolute gem right next to the Finger Lakes.

The first review that shows up here does not reflect my experience, I am pleased with this place. Sure, it's a very basic motel, but it's also right near the town, you can see a nice view of the lake from your front window. It cost me and my wife and dog $119 the day before Memorial Day. They allow pets. No weird smells, nothing odd at all. My room is quite clean and well kept. Yeah, there is some paint peeling under the window, no doubt because guests leave it open and it rains… Who cares… Not me. The shower has great temperature control, there are dispensers for shampoo, body gel and soap. Bed is comfortable. Sufficient lighting. AC works. The lady up front is pretty and nice. The TV is an LG brand LCD flat panel, of course. Comfy chair next to the bed, another chair at the desk, a little closet space. Really quiet area.

Wasn't that good for the money we paid, I could have stayed at a chain hotel for the same price. The bed was hard and had holes in the box springs, no in room coffee, paint peeling on walls, has old tube style tv, poorly lit room, outdoor area falling apart, continental breakfast were pastries, juice boxes and coffee. The room did not look anything like the picture they showed. Next time I return I will stay in Ithaca, it is closer to all the parks. It really needs a good updating.

Small motel but very nice owners. Clean rooms. Only a mile out of town. Quiet! Hot showers! I recommend it!

Extremely clean room. Location just a few minutes from the beautiful Watkins Glen Park.

This motel is a little gem. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it is comfortable and super clean. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. We had a family suite that had 2 double beds and a pull out sofa. It was like a tiny apartment and perfect for our family of 5. We would happily stay there again.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Typical motor lodge / motel. Water pressure was a little low. Picture tube televisions. Set back from the road enough that traffic noise was never a problem. Basic continental breakfast with fresh fruit and packaged pastries. Free Wi-Fi.

The staff is awesome, the room was very clean, and daily maid service great. It is an older place, but I would definitely stay there again. It is a classic motel, no frills, but they did honor my request and put small refrigerator in! We were very happy!

Best motel in the area. Check-in courteous, rooms clean, water pressure great, beds firm, TV channels replete. Short drive North of town. Priced Right. Safe and well off road, with a view of the lake.

Small and not the cleanest. Fast Wi-Fi and hot shower, though.

Small little motel just outside Watkins Glen. It's probably due for some renovations, but my girlfriend and I were on a budget, and we feel we made a very good pick. The staff was very friendly and made sure there were muffins, danishes, and coffee waiting for us for breakfast, even though we were the only guests on that particular weeknight. The room was cozy and the bed comfortable, and it was a great place to unwind after our adventures during the day.
