Inn at Taughannock Falls

Room was spacious and clean with a view of the lake. Location is very near to the lower falls trail. Would suggest to have a kettle in the room and also have food options at the hotel .

The buildings that I visited (Main House & the Parkview guest house in which I stayed) were very nice except for any entrances used exclusively by staff & excuding the mildew smell emanating from the shower; outside staff doors ti the kitchen were grimey as if no one thought that guests might actually pass by to observe the dirt. Service is efficient but without a smile or a welcome. The included breakfast may not live up to your expectations: buffet style warming trays of scrambled eggs & home fries (no breakfast meats) were the only cooked items along with a vat of vanilla yogurt, fresh berries. & a mystery granola that stuck together alongside lots of carbs (sugary cherry turnovers, cinnamon swirls, bagels, croissants, & other store-bought pastry), but nothing homemade in an Inn that seems to aim for old fashioned charm. Signs suggesting gratuities for housekeeping & the dining room are plentiful, but are a joke at breakfast where we saw no staff member at all. I suggest that management take a portion of the nearly $600 nightly room rate (for a room with a view of the driveway), & allocate a portion to the invisible breakfast staff they want guests to tip. Parking is free, & I strongly suggest checking in & parking at the Inn before forking over $10 to park at the State Park literally next door; there are paths from the Inn grounds to the Park. The Inn is generally nice-looking, but service needs an upgrade. Oh, and if you want to use the complimentary laundry room outlined on the contract you sign at check-in, be aware that it's no longer available.

A total disappointment from the start to the end. The staff except for the cleaming staff and a few at the restaurant gave little care to our stay or needs or issues. Aside form the main house the other lodging is plain ordinary and all for over $1000 a night. The restaurant was even more a disappointment., A number of items not on the menu that grew from day one to day two. Imagine I ordered chicken parm and asked to substitute past for veggies and was told it was not possible. pass on this place
