Best Western Plus Vineyard Inn & Suites

This past Columbus day weekend we celebrated my sons wedding in the finger lake region and we had at least six rooms with extended family from many states. The front desk worker, John, was wonderful accommodating various check in times, the woman working the breakfast was so kind and constantly restocked the food. The housekeeping department provided the extra blankets and towels that were requested. The entire hotel was spotless, quiet, and perfect for our family to gather for the wedding. Thank you Best Western staff for quality service!

Take a look at Phil H’s review below dated 9−20−14. What he said. (Except I’d put the word «COOKIES» in bold letters, Phil.) All the bells and whistles you need for a comfortable stay in the Finger Lakes.

Solid hotel to stay at and enjoy the Finger Lakes wine trail by Seneca Lake, Keuka Lake, and town of Penn Yan.
Clean overall and located within minutes of the wine trails and lakes. Walking distance to historic Penn Yan and some stores and eateries.
Courteous front desk staff with cookies in the lobby each day.
Free wifi throughout. Free parking.
Very nice pool area and well maintained. Even a front patio area with seating.
Complimentary breakfast with a mix of cold cereals, yogurts, fruits, waffles, and some hot options like bacon and eggs. Hot coffee and tea were always available.
Room was very clean, comfortable bed, flat screen tv, fridge, microwave, and cold quiet air conditioning. Bathroom was on the small side but also clean. Good enough for me.
Very reasonable rates to stay here and will definitely consider it again on our next trip to the Finger Lakes to do more wine tasting.
Plus, you can’t beat Seneca Farms ice cream parlor a few minutes down the road. Nothing like ending the day with some amazing ice cream to bring back to the room.

Room was a good size, comfortable, clean. Had a fridge and microwave. However, we could clearly hear the people in the next room even when they weren’t talking very loud. They called to complain about how loud we were being even though we weren’t louder than a somewhat loud speaking voice.
Breakfast was ok, typical limited choices and the coffee was decent. They have a nice outdoor sitting area. While it only overlooks the parking lot, it is a nice place to sit outside and enjoy some of the wine you bought that day. Excellent location as far as proximity to the wineries of Keuka Lake.
Pool and hot tub are small but normal for a smallish hotel. If there weren’t a bunch of kids in the pool I would have tried it out.

My whole family, including a bunch of extended family, stayed here for 3 days recently. Initially I was disappointed there wasn’t a Marriott nearby and all the girls wanted to stay here because there was a pool. We upgraded to the suit so that we had more room for our baby and 3 year old and boy am I glad we did that. The room was fairly spacious with lots of counters, a private desk area and a smaller room with a fold-​out couch. The hotel was kind enough to provide a pack-​n-​play which fit perfectly in a nook behind the fireplace. My little girl was able to sleep back there where it was quiet and away from any light. My only complaint about the room was the very small bathroom. It was difficult to open/​close the door if anyone was standing in the bathroom. Also most of the stations on the TV were not HD which I just don’t get. Why are so many hotels not able to provide HD TV?!
The staff were incredibly accommodating. They had cookies in the lobby everyday, brought us anything we needed and even gave the kids some gifts when we checked in. The pool area was nice and it actually was 5′ deep! Typically hotel pools are barely deep enough to get my waist wet. The staff were kind enough to give us a vase of flowers in our room and a sympathy card. They knew we were there for a funeral. Lastly, the free breakfast was above average. They had cereal, pastries, bread, waffles, pre-​formed eggs and bacon every morning. The coffee machine was also available 24×7 in the lobby!
Overall for the price, this is a great place to stay. Next time we visit the area, this will be near the top of my list.

My boyfriend and I decided to go on a quick trip up to the Finger Lakes to celebrate our anniversary. We found an excellent deal on this hotel from Priceline and decided it would meet our needs.
Upon checking in, we were told that there had been a laundry issue, and that our room might be lacking towels. We were told that if they were missing, they’d be delivered shortly. Thankfully, they were already in the room.
We had a standard king room. It was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. It was nice to have a mini-​fridge for the wine we purchased earlier in the day, and on a longer stay, the microwave would have come in handy. The bathroom had Bath and Bodyworks-​brand soap and hand lotion. There were also makeup removing face wipes, which I had never seen in a hotel room before. They were a nice touch.
The biggest issue during our stay was the unreliability of the hotel wifi. It worked for about an hour after we checked in, then it stopped. It continued to be on and off for a few hours, with the front desk staff unable to give us any idea of when it would work fully.
The pool was nice, if a little small. The hot tub was also lovely. There were ample towels on the pool deck.
Breakfast was only okay. The seating area is poorly designed, and makes a smooth flow of traffic in the area nearly impossible. My cranberry juice was very watery. But there was a waffle iron, which was nice.
While I would consider staying here again, I’ll also explore other area options on our next Finger Lakes trip. It’s not a bad hotel, but I think there might be better options.

Fantastic place to stay! Spacious rooms (we had the King bed with couch pull-​out), free wifi, close to a Sunoco (vital for drivers!), Walgreens, Rite Aid and convenience stores. Right across from a Dunkin’, Mickey D’s and Pizza Hut. Small pool, jacuzzi. The breakfast is great (eggs, waffles, sausage, tots and pastries!). Amazing staff. Thanks Ruth for making our stay excellent!

Old Fashioned rooms, small bathrooms… Knowing yoga helps.
Staff is amazingly friendly. Breakfast is carb driven, but they do have freshly baked bagels and muffins. Its always fun making your own waffles. Spacious area to dine in. Pool is small but jacuzzi is nice. Overall a great place to stay if you are loking for a bed and breakfast alternative.

Nice looking façade, lobby, and rooms. Clean, well-​staffed (and courteous staff).
Includes free wi-​fi, breakfast, indoor pool, workout room, and fresh cookies in the afternoon. Breakfast consists of juice, coffee, muffins, bagels, toast, cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, make-​it-​yourself waffles, and a small buffet of eggs, potatoes, and sausage when we were there. The cookies in the afternoon were heavenly — soft chewy choc chip one day and soft moist peaut butter cookies the next.
Rooms were comfortable; slept well in the bed with oodles of pillows and the shower felt great. Complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and lotion plus a sewing kit. Iron, hairdryer, micowave, and fridge were in our room.
Pros: Comfortable and decently priced. Next to a little park with a walking path thru woods. Short drive to Finger Lake wineries.
Cons: Few sit-​down dining choices within walking distance (but do try La Cocina, a nice little Mexican restaurant downtown — see my review). Also, please note there are no shuttles or taxis in the area. Meaning we wanted our winery tour limo driver to drop us off at a restaurant at the end of our tour thinking we could get a taxi back to the hotel but no luck there. So anyone looking for a business opp, there’s one for ya – either more selection of restaurants in Penn Yan or a taxi service.

Simply a very good hotel with good service, friendly staff, clean and nice rooms, and great value! Best in 60 mile radius! Stayed there 3 weekends and enjoyed it each time.

Internet only worked 1 hours of four days stay. Bellman’s cart had a sharp screw & tore my clothes. When I called to reserve room, I was told they had breakfast sandwiches. 1^st morning there I asked for sandwich for my husband & was told they don’t have them. Won’t stay there again… I am sorry only goes so far!

Nothing super special about this hotel, but I’m really glad we stayed here. It’s clean, the staff was friendly, and it’s extremely convenient to the wine trail and downtown area.
I don’t have a lot to say about this place, which is usually a good thing for a hotel.
Would definitely stay here again if and when I do return to this area.

This is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in — great value.
My husband and I have now stayed here every year since 2006 at least once a year — sometimes twice! We love the Finger Lakes wineries and this hotel is an ideal jumping off point to visit Keuka and Seneca, in particular.
The rooms are always clean and well-​kept and the beds are very comfortable. We’ve stayed in the «presidential» suite (king suite w/​sitting area) and there’s lots of space. Showers have the extended curtain bar, bathrooms are done in granite — very nice. Most of the king suites also have a refrigerator and microwave. So convenient.
There is an indoor heated pool, jacuzzi, new re-​done workout room with a treadmill, bike, elliptical, weight machine, and a t.v. There is also a couple of computers and a printer in the «business center» (alcove off the first floor hallway).
They have warm cookies available in the afternoons and evenings, and the continental breakfast has a variety of local baked goods and a fresh waffle maker. The staff is super friendly and has always been really nice and helpful.
The only downfall is that there’s not a whole lot of places to eat nearby unless you want to order takeout or eat at a bar. Even a drive into Geneva won’t get you anything spectacular, but I can’t fault the hotel for lack of restaurants.
We will definitely be back, again and again!

The Finger Lakes area is known for charming B&Bs and kitschy motels. Unless you have a recommendation from a trusted visitor, it’s tough to judge the motels from websites & reviews alone. So the Best Western in Penn Yan was a breath of fresh air. This particular BW is very nice — rooms are very spacious, clean & tastefully decorated; comfy beds; great oversized bathrooms. The breakfast bar was nice but I didn’t like that it’s in the front lobby — kind of perfurmed the whole area w/​the smell of burnt waffles. That said, take advantage of it — there’s few places open in PY on a Sunday morning. Individual room doors are very loud if not closed gently, so please be kind to other guests.

This is one of the best Best Westerns EVER – no joke. For a best western, this hotel was beyond that. Maybe its because its near the vineyards but there was just something special and different about this location. You definitely get your money’s worth here considering the pricing of near by hotels. We checked in really late but that was no problem at all. The hotel is beautiful and spacious and there is cookies, coffee and tea ²⁴⁄₇. The staff was incredibly helpful when we asked for directions/​rates and when I forgot my toothbrush and toothpaste. It was a full weekend so we had asked for a king sized bed but instead got two queens. We didn’t mind because the room was very comfortable. The room was clean and had a mini fridge, coffee maker, iron, tea. The fitness center which is small – one treadmill, one elliptical and some weights but they had a TV and lots of towels is open ²⁴⁄₇. We made use of it one morning. We also made use of the complementary breakfast in the morning-​they have a waffle maker, muffins, yogurt, fruit, juice and something home baked (which was zucchini bread when we were there). Overall, a wonderful stay and I could have been fooled that this was a Best Western.

Great hotel. In my opinion, the best value hotel in the Penn Yann area. Rooms were clean and the décor wasn’t dated either. I’d stay here without a hestitation.
