We stayed in a kitchenette room and it was quite clean and comfortable. I liked the variety of the flowers on the property and I could see them directly out our 1 window. I enjoyed sitting out front in the lounge chairs reading, it is a peaceful environment at Keuka. I thought the owner and staff could be a little... More

We arrived without a reservation late at night on a Memorial Day wknd, after finding no vacancy anywhere else. Got lucky as this place had a cancellation. Room was a suite with a fully equipped kitchenette, big renovated bathroom and a separate bedroom. Everything was great! The owner was super nice and helped us out the next morning with a... More

A step back in time, This place is charming in its own way..outdated in most every way, but clean and quiet. An old fasioned lake motel that is fine if you aren't real fussy. you get a bare bones bathroom with shower stall , but it is clean. On a hill, with steps to manage... Needs updated with fresh furniture... More

I stayed here for a night. I will say the room was clean, bed comfortable and lots of places to sit outside. BUT the room smelled old and it was dated, right down to the wood paneled walls.

We have stayed here several times before but haven't stayed in the cottage efficiency for over 25 years. We stayed in the front part of the cottage (#23) over the memorial day weekend. We were thrilled. The front half of the cottage consists of a kitchenette with a stove, oven, microwave, full sized refrigerator, coffee maker and toaster and several... More

We just returned from our annual family trip to Penn Yan to visit with family. Some of the group stayed with our family, but some of us stayed at the Colonial. We always have a good experience when staying there and it is literally across the street from our relatives, so the location is perfect. Rooms are clean and while... More

The location is great if you like bodies of water. The rooms were clean and are kept that way. It is a nice place but is worn and lost the crispiness of new things. Price is very reasonable. It is a big place for the small family to run. Like all people the owners have there days. All things considered... More

I called and made reservations for a single bed/suite which I was told had a full living area as well as a kitchen. When we entered our room I saw that we didn't have a full living area but one upholstered chair and a straight back chair. There was a charming small kitchen with an apartment sized stove and oven...

I was visiting an elderly family friend in Penn Yan and since I did not want to make work for her I looked for a place to stay nearby. After reading the reviews I called Colonial Motel and was offered a great rate for the week I needed. Upon arrival I was greeted by the couple who own and run... More
