The Hotel Laurel is the very best place to stay on Seneca Lake! The accommodations are stellar and Adam, the Hotel manager, is most professional and accommodating! It was a true pleasure to stay here this past weekend! Lake views are fantastic! What a treat! We booked as a getaway for our 35th anniversary and to view the eclipse. Even though it was cloudy for the eclipse, the new deck was great for socializing with other guests! We have already suggested friends to book this hotel and we will be back.
