Skaneateles Boutique Hotel

Town is just a four-minute walk away, with plenty of restaurants to choose from, and the map and information guide in the room and downstairs by the stairs made it easy to start exploring. I was welcomed like an honored guest in a private family home, given my room key and an entry code for after-hours access. The inn is private, scrupulously clean, and well maintained. My room was nicely appointed, and though the bathroom was small, it was spotless and had flawless fixtures. Patio blankets are available if you want to sit on the porch, though I didn't because it was too cold. I'll definitely stay here again.

The location and price both worked really well for us. Our stay was perfect apart from one thing: the coffee and refrigerator area could use more light.

The lake was a beautiful shade of green and very clean. We only stayed briefly, but we both enjoyed this comfortable, quiet, clean place right in the downtown village, close to shops, restaurants, and pubs.

The rooms were comfortable, clean, and new, with fresh fluffy white towels and really nice toiletries. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the location made it easy to walk to restaurants for any meal, shops, parks, and even a boat tour. There isn't an elevator, so book a ground-floor room if you need one.
