Yes you could stay in Geneva or in one of the myriad of Hotels on the ends of the main lakes but Penn Yan is still a big enough place to find plenty to eat and do after a hard day exploring the Wineries, the National/State Parks and the Beaches or just looking at all the property for sale from Cabins to Mansions.
The hotel has the usual Amenities and looks well-kept, pool, hot tub but no Sauna or Steam Room or Games room for the kids. Breakfast is in the main Lobby and included in the rate, hot options are limited but available. Avoid peak times (given in a card in the room) - we went to breakfast and it was quiet, back to the room to grab our gear and by then the lobby was full of people looking for somewhere to sit and eat.
Free Coffee and Cookies all day is a nice touch. There are various places to eat or snack nearby, mostly the likes of Bar/Restaurants and Pizza Hut level, but there is a nice place attached to one of the other hotels at the top end of the Keuka Lake that Penn Yan sits on.
The drive to HammondsPort and the Aviation Museum is lovely. It said the room should have a safe on the web-site our Deluxe King didnt have one, but it did have lots of space, a comfortable sofa and other chairs.

My wife and I travelled with our dog to the Finger Lakes for the first time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was as advertised and the breakfast was kept well stocked at the various times that we visited it. Interacted with various members of the staff and they all were very friendly.

Room and public areas were clean and felt safe. All staff we encountered were friendly.
Complimentary breakfast left much to be desired. It's free and convenient but that shouldn't limit the egg style and type of breakfast meat to only one choice each day, the only option was yes or no essentially. All the food seemer to be frozen and reheated as well, which brings me back to my previous point, if it's just being unpackaged and heated then why are there no choices?
This is my biggest complaint of my stay, and I don't understand how management of any respectable hotel could find this acceptable: This is the first hotel that I've stayed at, in history, that would not get me a taxi when I requested it, nor did they have any clue as to a taxi that would service the area. The front desk referred me to only one taxi service that stops operating at 5:00 p.m. on Fridays, and did even not work weekends (our stay was Fri-Mon). When I asked for alternatives they claimed they had none. I had to look up and call several different local taxi services to establish safe transportation between wineries and this hotel for every trip.
I would not recommend staying at this hotel, especially if you are going to the Finger Lakes to visit the wineries. Accessibility in this region is an issue mainly due to state insurance laws that severely inhibit the ability for rideshare drivers to work here. Pair this with staying at an established hotel, for over $200/night, that makes virtually no effort to assist you from getting point a to point b, and you are in for a stressful experience.
Save your money and stay at an Airbnb instead, unless they decide to raise the bar off the floor at Best Western Penn Yan.

We added an extra day and had to change rooms but the staff allowed us to get a late checkout for the one room and early check-in for the other so it was an easy transfer from one room to another.
Hotel in Penn Yan is a great location within easy travel distances to wineries on both Lake Keuka and Lake Seneca. We actually drove around both lakes on separate days.

We decided to take a quick overnight trip just to get away since things are staring to "open up" again. We booked a one night stay with the wine touring package. We spent the day touring Keuka Lake prior to checking in. When we arrived at 4:30 our rooms were ready, the coupons, bottle of wine and wine glasses that we were promised were in our room waiting for us. Megan checked us in, informed us of the rewards program (which we joined) and made sure we were aware of any amenities available to us. We sat out front on the patio and relaxed with one of the beers we had purchased during the day then walked down the street for dinner. When we returned we made a fire and relaxed by the fire-pit (they supplied the wood) to enjoy our complimentary bottle of wine. My only disappointment was that we ordered dry white wine - the wine we received was "described" as a semi dry but it was pretty sweet. In the morning we took a walk on the beautiful Keuka Outlet Trail (picked up the trail only a 2 minute walk from the hotel). The Outlet Trail is an amazing place to walk or bike (saw 3 big turtles during our walk) with lots of shade and lovely views. Afterwards we returned to the hotel, grabbed breakfast and check out for the day to enjoy the winery coupons we received. Coupons were for wineries on both Keuka and Seneca Lakes. I can't say enough good about the hotel, the package we received and Penn Yan in general. We'll definitely go back and stay at this hotel.

We also stayed at this hotel last year on our way to Niagara Falls. Close to Watkins Glen and the Finger Lakes. Extremely clean with friendly helpful staff. They are very conscious of COVID and still provide a hot complimentary breakfast by providing an order form the night before and you pick a time to pick it up. Coffee and juice are available 24 hours a day. Bob at the front desk was extremely helpful giving us tips and a map on the local trails. Highly recommend!

All areas of hotel were very clean. Staff very friendly and helpful . Had maps of local restaurants on the ready along with recommendations. Breakfast was a good combo of hot foods (including a touch free pancake maker instead of the usual waffle maker)and cold offerings. Coffee/tea available 24 hours a day in lobby. Pool/hot tub hours are 10am-10pm and the area was clean and stocked with towels. There wasn’t a changing area for the pool-but a restroom nearby that could be used. We just changed in our room. Room was generally quiet except the walls (like almost every hotel ) were thin, so I could tell when someone was getting ice…. But certainly not a deal breaker. Would stay again if in area.

Thank you for your interest in Best Western Plus Vineyard inn and Suits. We are located 28 miles from the Watkins Glen Race track which is about 35 minute drive through wine country. We currently do have rooms available for race weekend and would love to host you. Please contact us at 315-536-8473 to make reservations. We hope to hear from you soon!
You can easily walk a few blocks to Main Street in Penn Yan. There is a great place called the Keuka Restaurant. They have a combination of bar food and high end...such as burgers and wings or scallops, steak, Thai peanut chicken, ext. There is also a pizza place, local diner and a little soup/salad type place that I believe is only open for lunch. Happy eating!
