Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
Hotel's Favourite
We asked for & were provided with a quiet room on the upper floor away from the elevator & ice machine. The bed was firm & very comfortable. Normally I dislike the small sofa-size pillows provided but they did not bother me this trip and I had very good sleep each night. Breakfast was the same offerings daily but there was a wide variety of choices. The staff was very friendly & accommodating. Next door is Finger Lakes Beer Company & they offer a buy one, get one free beverage. Their beer was very good; make sure you visit there. There was an indoor pool which we did not use & there was plenty of parking. The shower could have been a little cleaner which was the only blip in our stay.

This really was a wonderful hotel to stay at. At check-in, the two ladies at the front desk happily greeted my family and answered all of our questions. Our room was clean and spotless, beds were comfortable. The rest of the hotel was extremely clean as well. Breakfast was a pretty good spread with many choices (waffles, scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage, bagels, yogurts, juices, tea, coffee) and the attendants were helpful and continuously cleaning the tables in between parties. The pool was somewhat small but it was fine for my kids. The pool area was also clean and spotless. The only bummer was that the last three days of our stay the pool was closed for maintenance. Big shout out to Sam who worked the front desk in the evenings/nights. She greeted us every time we came in the lobby, always asked if we needed anything, and quickly brought anything we needed to the room. She also offered us a later check out time if we wanted to use the pool since maintenance was finished. I highly recommend this hotel!

Dear beatles101296, Thank you for choosing our hotel and for the wonderful comments about our staff and services. We have a full buffet again as it has been sometime due to COVID-19 restrictions. We are as pleased as you are to be able to offer this again. We had been cooking to order prior but it's not the same. We are glad you appreciate it! My apologies for the pool not being available to you. Unfortunately, periodic maintenance is required. We sincerely hope that you will come back in the near future and visit us again. We truly appreciate all the nice words about the staff and know we will always take good care of our guests. Best Regards, Karen Guinan General Manager

The Hammondsport BW is a fairly new hotel (5 yo) located on state route 54 just past the Glenn Curtiss Museum and just before the village of Hammondsport. The hotel and grounds were well maintained with a very inviting appearance. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Guest room and all public spaces were very clean. Hot breakfast was available but you have to order it the night before and reserve a time for pickup. Two gas firepits on the south side of the hotel are a nice place to relax in the evening. The state highway is fairly busy at times with some truck traffic. If you are a light sleeper you may want to request a room in the back of the hotel on 2nd or 3rd floor (odd numbered rooms). Overall our experience was excellent and I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are planning a stay in the Hammondsport area.

We stayed a couple of nights here. The hotel is nice, new and clean. We were greeted when we came in and also were upgraded to a suite which was very nice. The person at the front desk recommended a couple of restaurants to eat at. We tried one of them the first night we were there and it did not disappoint. The front desk was very helpful. The staff lady taking care of the breakfast area was also great. She was constantly cleaning tables and answering questions. The hotel is right next to the finger lakes brewing company and even gave us a coupon of buy one flight of beers and get one free. Unfortunately we did not have enough time to take advantage of it. The only negative was the last night whoever was above us sounded like they were running a lot. Late at night and early in the morning we heard the pounding of feet, in fact it was so loud it woke me up in the morning. morning. Despite this I would still come back and stay at this hotel again. The location is perfect for exploring Keuka lake, which we liked even more than Seneca lake (stayed there last year)

We vacation in hotels partly to enjoy the service of making beds, cleaning bathrooms, emptying trash, etc. This hotel uses the excuse of short staff and Covid to offer none of the above mentioned services. Therefore, after a one night stay you will have to make your own bed and do your own cleaning. Since there is no price discount, you are punished more the longer you stay. The building is new and clean and the limited staff is very friendly. The breakfast is ample and good, but sterile and not very tasty.
Note: none of the advertising for the hotel mentions the lack of room cleaning, and although we were offered to cancel our reservation, that is hard to do after a long drive during the high vacation season.

From the moment I booked directly with the hotel the service was exceptional. Staff is there to assist in a professional and friendly manner. We were in the area to visit wineries and stayed two nights, the location was perfect to reaching both sides of the lake.
They had a nice breakfast but the staff coming around taking away your dirty plates was something I had not experienced at any other hotel. The ladies in the morning were charming.

We were visiting wineries on Keuka Lake and this was the perfect location for this side of the lake. When we checked in, we were greeted by Sam and Bri who were super helpful throughout the duration of our stay. They both suggested a local restaurant that had free delivery to the hotel and the food was soooo good. They were both helpful in making sure we got our breakfast orders in and were able to point us in the direction of other things we needed. Our second morning, they both even remembered that it was my partner's birthday. The room and the hotel lobby were very clean and this hotel's location is just minutes from everything. We are already planning our next trip to Keuka Lake and are planning on staying here again.

BEST hotel experience ever. Better than many resorts or more expensive hotels we have stayed at. The accommodations were “immaculate”. All facilities worked at 100% - the air conditioning was perfect, the water temp easily adjustable. This is what all hotels should emulate.
Front office staff – excellent; included breakfast – excellent; restaurant staff – excellent with great attitudes; Room cleanliness was Excellent – great attitude; - Facility was great and the positive / friendly attitude of staff completed the circle – it would be a 4 without staff and an absolute 5 with those employees.

We stayed for 3 days in July. We had never been to this area before so we wasn’t sure what to expect. It was amazing. The staff was wonderful and the hotel was clean. Very accommodating. The breakfast was good every morning. From the hotel, you can walk over to the little brewery next door or walk across the street for ice cream or down the street to the Curtiss aviation and motorcycle museum. It is about a 1 mile walk to down town Hammondsport. Every person or place we went was very nice. The hotel has a washer and dryer which we had to use after we went to Watkins Glen State Park. They allowed us to park the bike under awning. The Corning museum was a nice place to visit, it took us about 2 hours and didn’t see everything. When we come back we will stay at this hotel again.

I’m sorry that I do not know
There is a service to hire a driver to drive you around in your car for a day. We saw signs in Watkins Glen offering that. Might want to check that option out.
I can't answer about the air purifier in public area but they did have proper sanitation.
I would say no more than an hour. Probably 45-50 minutes drive.
Beautiful scenery too.
I'm not familiar with a Watson's State Park, but Watkins Glen is about a 30 minute scenic drive.
