What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 719 guest reviews
The Inn at Taughannock Falls earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment for its stunning lakeside setting, direct access to the falls and state park, clean and spacious rooms, and warm staff — making it a standout retreat in the Finger Lakes region. The most consistent friction point is the included continental breakfast, which multiple guests found sparse, disorganised, and understaffed, though the à la carte restaurant itself draws genuine praise. Guests seeking peaceful natural scenery and proximity to outdoor attractions will be well rewarded, provided they temper expectations around breakfast service.
