Whenever I feel like heading up to the Finger Lakes to check out the many wineries, The Gould in Seneca Falls is at the top of my list of possible places to stay. I have stayed there the last 4.5 times, 3 times in 2020 (July, September, and December), and I can’t wait to return in 2021. The Finger Lakes region is a fascinating place to visit if you’re a wine enthusiast like myself. Not only that, this amazing area has its fair share of historical sites, shopping, outdoor recreation, and dining. If you’re looking for a clean, affordable, and centrally-located place to stay in the Finger Lakes Region, look no further than The Gould in Seneca Falls. Everyone - from the front desk to the cleaning staff - is so hospitable. I’ve always stayed in the King Suite which is huge and elegantly furnished. The Gould provides quick access to the wineries on Cayuga and Seneca Lakes. Venture out to Geneva in under 20 minutes for more restaurant and bar options, or stay home in the quaint little town for fewer, but still very great options. It’s also close to Waterloo Premium Outlets if shopping is the plan. Since the epidemic, the management has done a tremendous job to keep their staff and guests safe. Ample social distancing, hand sanitizers, plexiglass at the front desk - you name it, they’re doing it. I just can’t say enough about The Gould. In addition, this beautiful hotel offers very competitive rates which is very alluring to get away from home and relieve some of the pandemic stress.

My wife and I have travelled to many countries and stayed in many different hotels in our life, and would have to say this hotel is better than some 5 star hotels we have have stayed in regarding customer service and dining and cleanliness. We are here for only one night to catch our flight to Moscow heading to London, Amsterdam, Munich Germany, Rome, Venice Italy, Bern Switzerland, Lauterbrunnen Switzerland then Paris France for our one month Europe adventure. Now we have booked 11 hotels for our journey ahead of us, if this hotel being our first on our adventure with a great starting experience, then we have a lot of good things to look forward to. This hotels has the nicest, kindest, professional caring management and staff. We ordered dinner last night and to be honest I was not expecting much being a Russian hotel, Sorry but not had great experience with Russian hotels in the past. Well this place surprised me. I ordered the grilled pork with rice and Greek salad and my wife ordered pasta, and when it came to our room the plate was large size and the portions as well, which I did not expect. Russian portions are usually small. To top it off the food presentation was good and looked Appetizing and it tasted delicious! Well done. Almost for got to mention how accommodating the manager was, she asked us what time our flight was and because it’s at 3:25pm she was so kind to give us a late check out which was so kind because she said we have a baby and there’s no need to be at the airport waiting many hours with a baby. Now that’s what I call superb kindness and great customer service. DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE THIS HOTEL! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s okay when u actually get cheaper rates. Not rooms at hotels that come up 3 and $400 a night per stay though, cuz right now im needing just something that is CLEAN! And it seems to me, that you have to be rich, or have quite a bit of money to even be able to get a clean dang room at a hotel!! And I am needing to stay for quite a few nights at the moment, so I can’t be paying no $300/night! Really not even $200/night! Where did the $87/night rooms at decent, clean hotels go? And I just stayed 7 nights over at the Holiday Inn Express in Springfield, Illinois and I have yet to see any points or credits or anything. No rewards on my Apps neither! Aren’t u suppose to be able to get free nights after you stay so many nights anyway? Now I’m gona have to call customer service to find out what is going on & I honestly don’t have the time for all that. Also, I booked a room at the Hilton Garden Inn hotel & it states that there are SAFES in the rooms. I’m on my second night & in the second room, and there were no safes in the rooms & I cudnt even get one to use. So I’m not sure what’s up with the information that is posted on these hotels. It’s just seems that they aren’t absolutely corrects. And I have been paying ALOT of money towards stays on tops of things. No discounts. No free nights.

The lady at the front desk was very nice! I had my 21 yr old daughter, 19 & 12 yr old sons with me. They are used to Airbnb’s, but this was last minute. I was not there to stay in the room anyway. I planned on being at the beach. We stayed in the room right next to the reception desk so I got to park right at my door. I did not have to move my car for the 5 days we were there. (We extended our stay for an extra day). Because of the Covid19 we were given a basket to put our towels in and exchange for clean ones. Which is understandable. We had no problem with that. The next day there was a gentleman at the front and he was just as nice and helpful. Another day there was a young lady and she was also really nice. I felt comfortable enough that if we needed anything we could ask and they would help. Since the beaches had just opened up the younger kids started coming in. The only problem with being on the 1st floor was you could hear the ones upstairs walking loud and playing drinking games. I didn’t have a problem going up there at 4:30 am and letting them know it was time for them to go to bed. Lol they said “yes mam” and 10 mins later I didn’t hear them anymore. I was nice to them. We were right across the street from the Arby’s and the convenience store . All the shopping and restaurants were the street over. The beach was about a 4-6 min walk (if that). I would suggest taking socks to wear in the room . They are tile floors and sand is everywhere. Overall it was a nice last min bday/Mother’s Day 5 day4 night getaway for less than $600.
