We went here last weekend with some friends. My Wife and I got a balcony room with a lake view. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable, and the view was amazing. The Packwood House is a sister property to the Sherwood Inn, and is 2 doors down the street. Breakfast at the Sherwood is included in the room rate,... More

I was a little hesitant when booking when I saw those dreaded floral print comforters on the beds but I was pleasantly surprised when I checked in to see it was not the case! We ended up with a beautiful room overlooking the lake that was incredibly clean and spacious! Definitely the place I would stay if I went back.

The Packwood House is associated with the Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles, just a couple of doors down the street. Sherwood and Packwood are also associated with the Village Inn of Skaneateles. We have stayed at both the Packwood and Village Inn numerous times...probably our favorite "local" get-away location. This last weekend, we took advantage of a WONDERFUL package: $149 for... More

Friends and ourselves stayed in the Packwood House during the Charles Dickens Weekend in Skaneateles, NY. As much as we love the Sherwood Inn, we loved this place more. It is very quiet, very clean, very private! There is a lot of hustle and bustle at the Sherwood Inn, but the Packwood is just the reverse. Very easy, private covered... More

Basically, a nice, but generic hotel room that is way overpriced. Nothing unique or interesting that I could see, The breakfast buffet was ather perfunctory; I've seen better at a Courtyard or Hampton Inn.

This hotel was definitely a high point in our trip to Skaneateles. The room was very clean, very big and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. The property was extremely quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

All the amenities you'd expect from a recently renovated hotel: large room, adequate climate control, well insulated and quiet, most comfortable bedding, and a nice terrace overlooking the lake -- you might wish to book a room with a view. Ample parking and elevator, but during our weeknight stay, no one was manning the front desk. It felt slightly awkward... More

Great location with parking. Rooms are a typical 3 star style. Very modern and clean. Odd service as you have to go to the Sherwood Inn down the way and you're on your own in the hotel. Overall you will be comfortable.

When I was trying to choose a hotel in Skaneateles for our vacation, I was really torn between the Sherwood Inn and the Packwood. Would I choose the charm of the Sherwood or the conveniences of the Packwood? I was also unable to get a good sense of what parking was like for the two locations. Some reviewers made it... More

I have stayed at the Packwood House since it opened and always enjoy it there. I recently stayed there and the entire hotel has been renovated and it is a big improvement over the older decor. There is also now a front desk person on duty on the weekends - big plus not having to check in at the Sherwood... More
